HEAVY DECLINE IN
PRICE OF COTTON
All News Is Bearish and Mar
ket Becomes Panicy
CROP REPORTS BETTER
Selling by Western Interests Is Very
Heavy, and, Aided by High Con-
dItion Report, the Losses
Are Large

New York, May 31.-There was
sensational break in the cotton mar
ket today, July contracts selling off
to 141Sc, or IA points below the clos
ing figures of last week and 16l points
below the high level of the month. The
close was steady at decline of 81
to 60 points for the day. The mar
ket opened easy at q decline OF TO
10 points under liquidation and bear
pressure inspired by easy cables, good
weather over the holidays, rather bet
ter private condition reports than an
ticipated. and apprehensions that the
further weakness OF grain would lead
to a renewal of heavy selling by Chi
cago interests. Inside of the first half
hour prices broke to a net loss of
about 20 to 26 points. Southern bull
leaders gave the market support on
this decline and seemed particularly
DESTROYS of holding up May. But there
was evidently no belated short interest
to cover. On the other hand, May was
offered by spot holders, and in spite
of bulllsh efforts. May went out at the
lowest point of the year, around
14.61c.
Right afterwards the whole list
broke in a sensational way, heavy
western selling being attributed to Mr.
Patten or his friends, and before the
decline was oh ecked July sold at 1481c
or "A points net lower, while the new
crop showed net loss of from At
to 30 points Covering caused a rally
OF from Is to % points during the
last hour, but there seemed to be lit
tie support from bullish sources. The
National Ginners' associa ton reported a
condition of 500, compared with 800,
the ten-year average. Reports issued
on acreage range from an increase of
a little over 1 per cent to an increase
of 33 per cent. The governments re-
port will be issued on Thursday.

market also was firm. Number yellow

Pittsburg. May 31.-National and Amer
lean League baseball parks are to be
turned into money-makers when the
national game is not played on them
At meeting here today of men who are
we'll known in amusement enterprises an
organization was formed with a capital
ization of s1Oo,OO0,OO0, which is the Gull
mination of project that was started

New York and Harry Davis and John p.
Harris of Pittsburg are the active heads
of the enterprise and already the hippo
drome has been put into operation.
Tonight hippodromes were opened ST.

lost % points in the trading up to
l1:30 o'clock The explanation or the
selling was that bulls were much dis
appointed over reports from private bu-
reaus on the condition of the crop
Some of these reports We're as high as
81 per cent, which compared with sl,1o
this month last year from the govern
ment.
When the market looked weakest
shorts commenced to take profits heav-
lily and this buying checked the de-
cline Bulls who. had been looking on
took heart and did a moderate amount
of buying This. combined with the
realizing purchases, caused recovery
that at noon amounted to 10 to 10
points.
Early in the afternoon session the
market was quiet. Shorts appeared
confident of their position and were
less disposed to take profits with the
result that the recovery seen around
noon was barely maintained. At
O'Clock prices showed irregularity and
were 8 to Is points up from the low
est.
The market closed steady at a net
decline of 81 to 43 points on the old
crop months and 10 points on the new.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, May 31.-Cotton flu
lures opened steady with prices / point
down to points up. Cables were I'M
favorable and the market was at first
inclined to pay no attention to the
early weakness in New York August
and October on the call sold at an
advance of 8 points over last nights
closing. After the call prices showed
pronounced weakness and within few
minutes fell 10 to Is points, August
being the weakest month. Selling from
to 2:15 was heavy, especially in
August and October. and appeared to
be based on bearish private reports
on condition and acreage. AT the end
OF the first half hour of trading the
market was steady with some signs of
reacting. The weather map was mot
entirely favorablefas it indicated show
ers over the central portions of the
belt.
Following a period of steadiness and
a slight recovery around the middle of
the market. the market displayed ex-
treme weakness. Between 1915 and
|11:30 all the active deliveries broke
violently and the ring went into a
panic of selling. the exact source of
which could not be ascertained. 1t
was claimed extensive long interests
were liquida ting but increasing the
volume of selling were orders from the
bear side. July broke to a level of so
points down from the highest of the
morning. Just before the selling began
July stood at 14.50c. The next sale
was at 14.30c, a drop of 20 points.
The next two sales were at drops OF
5 points each. the price finally touch
ling 14.19c. August was extremely weak
and fell 60 points from the high point
of the morning. The new crop months
were not as weak as the old although
October lost IS points and December

Hubbard Bros. q co... Letter

New York. May Especial -Although
Liverpool advices were considered fully
equal to the close of our market on Fri
day. the good weather over the holidays
and the decline in the price of staples y
the west brought many selling orders
at the opening and decline began which
did not stop until the lowest point since
March was touched The reason for this
appeared to be the idea that cotton could
not be maintained at high prices no mat
ter what scarcity may result from the
sma. supply, when other commodities
were declining. We thought that the de-
cline would be stopped by the demand
from spinners and brokers before 1t was.
as EnGend has so small a stock of cot
ton that they must obtain some from here
in large quantities to run the mills. The
National Ginners report was construed as
