II COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at a de-
cline of 6G12 points on the old crop,
and unchanged to 5 points lower on the
new under liquidation. Offerings were
very we,, absorbed around the initial
figure. the market ruled steady for
the drst few minutes, but old crop sell
ing continued, and the market became
weak and unsettled during the middle of
the morning. Stop loss orders were I'M
covered when July got down to 1870
and that position broke to 1852, while
August sold off to 1907. or to a loss of
about 20024 points. The new crop was
relatively steady, selling only 4 or B
points net lower.
One of the leading bull brokers who
had been selling around the opening
prices turned a buyer at 1882 for July,
and the market rallied about 10 points
in consequence, but trading became
very quiet late in the forenoon, and
sentiment seemed to be nervous and
unsettled with prices at midday about
4 to IA points under the closing figures
of Yesterday. The selling of the old
crop months was attributed to the u
mors of a somewhat easier tendency
in Southern spot markets, n there
was also some gossip to the effect that
leading spot interests had withdrawn
from the bull campaign.

THE CHICAGO r

CHICAGO, May 25.-High tempera-
lures in the Southwest gave a preteXt
for bullish sentiment on the part of
wheat spectators today. The feeling
in favor of higher prices had additional
basis in the fact that no rain of much
consequence had fallen anywhere in
this country. Besides. foreign markets
were reported as holding well, a cir
cumstance which aroused hope of good
export trade later on. European re-
quirements, it was predicted, would be
heavy during the next few weeks.
Lively commission buying ran up
prices rather sharply. The opening
was "a higher to u off. July started
at S7B to SS1s3A. a shade off, to u
gain. and o s to 8sh@%.
There was a big trade In corn, with
active competition for all offerings.
Lightness of country sales formed the
chief reason. A leading house reported
no acceptances whatever from any one
of thirty-eight stations. July opened
u to "a higher, at 52s4 to 62M, and ad-
vanced to 53A@N.
Bad crop advices sent pats upward
Independently of the strength in other
grains. Sellers were scarce, July
started "A to Il up, at S44M to BAN,
and mounted to 341z.
Firmness from the outset was APP
parent in provisions, following ad-
vanced figures for hogs. First sales
were 21a to 20 higher, with July de-
livery 14,S5 for pork, S.25 for lard and
100 to 1927 for ribs.

NEARLY $4,000 INSPECT
NEW YORK'S NEW LIBRARY

NEW YORK, May 25.-More than
$4,000 persons visited the new public
library yesterday. 1t was the first day

second streets stopped to inspect the
new building.
The crowd came from every direction
and from all parts of the city to in
spect the new SO, 900, 900 building on a
$40, 900, 900 site which houses 1,000.0 900

The library was open for thirteen
