SELLING MOVE IN COTTON MARKET
Warmer and More Fav0ra- ble Weather Predictions
 Brings Decline

New York. May 1.-The appearance of warmer and generally more favorable weather in the south was followed by general selling movement in the cotton market today and there was a sharp break in prices with the close easy at a net decline of IA to 22 points.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of points on the old crop, which was influenced by steady cables and a continued large Liverpool spot business, but generally to points lower under new crop liquidation in response to the more favorable weather map.
 As soon as a few overnight buying or ders in the old crop had been executed near positions turned easier and inside of the first half hour active months had sold off to a net loss of from s to 13 points. A rally of or points then oc- cured as a result of covering by old shorts and a little buying for a turn but no aggressive bull support developed and the market turned easier again after the official forecasts were published, the low est point being reached during the after noon when active positions sold about IT to 20 points under the closing figure of last night.
 Stop loss orders were uncovered on this break, but around 15.16c for July leading bulls became buyers and fluctuations in the later trading were nervous and irreg- ular with the old crop closing or points up from the lowest, although late deliv- cries were finally at the lowest level of the day.
 In addition to better weather reports, continued talk of a slack domestic trade demand and predictions that the week end figures would compare less bullishly with last year than for the past several weeks were factors on the decline. The western belt forecast, while calling for generally warmer weather. foreshadowed unsettled conditions in Oklahoma. Ar kansas and parts of Texas, and private predictions based upon the presence of { low barometer in the northwest were fol renewed rains before Sunday. The east ern belt expects generally fair weathe. tonight and tomorrow Receipts today 13,593 bales, against 1894 last week and 10,726 last year For the week, b5,000 against 45,001 last week and 54672 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans 4619, against 32s3 last year, and al Hous- ton, 779, against 616 last year.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, May 4.-Cotton futures opened steady, unchanged, to 1 point up, compared with yesterdays close on the old crop months and points off on the new. Liverpool cables were favorable and sales of 15.O0O bales of spots attracted much attention. but the weather map offset this, as it noted practically no rain in the cotton belt over night. The dry weather encouraged shorts and they sold the new crop months heavily. After the call the old crops were put points under yesterdays close and the new crops were put II to 12 under. Shorts took profits at these levels and at the end of the first half hour of business the list stood at net loss of to points.
 The market was unsettled throughout the morning session. Prices had no de- cided tendency downward, but were in- clined to react after every sag. This was due to the forecast of unsettled weather for Arkansas. Oklahoma and part of Texas As the weather was generally read there seemed to be chance of more stormy weather toward the end of the week. This prevented general short selling.

HIGHER WHEAT PRICES SCORED
Advance Due To Dry Weather Northwest and
 Other Causes

Chicago, May 4.-Higher prices for wheat scored today than at any time since February. Dry weather northwest and congestion in the May option here brought about the advance. The close was at nearly the top level reached, 7sc to 17sG2c above last night. Corn gained asc to 1sassc net. and oats 1kd9sc to a4c Thc end of the day left hog products irregu- lar, strung out from 21ac rise to 15c de- cline.
 Anxious scanning of the weather map in vain search of a break in the drought near the Canadian line lead to quite a scare among shorts who realized that they had been selling too freely and had made but little impression on the mar ket. Traders In general were more dis posed than heretofore to accept the view that there was no great chance of seri- ous setback in prices while the northwest and Canada gave signs of being fearful of dry weather. Assertions of an impend- ing shortage were not taken without lib- eral discount, but sharp attention never theiess was devoted to the idea that there must be plentiful rain from time to time to mature the spring crops. A violent rise here in the price of the May delivery though accompanied by only small trad ing did much to unsettle the nerves of the bears all along the line. Barring a little weakness at the start the tendency was upward almost constantly through out the sessions. July ranged from SSAc to s91sc and closed steady at S9Ac, net gain of 7sc.
 Broad activity developed in corn. Lead ing owners of the May delivery and of cash grades here, who had been selling July for nearly a fortnight began buying and ran the. price higher in the face of heavy offerings from a prominent specu- lator. July fiuctuated between 52c and 52s4 q547sc closing steady asc up at 521s9 5Sssc. The cash market was firm. No. 2 yellow finished at 541sa55c.
 Oats were stimulated by the strength of corn. Crop news were favorable but cut no figure. July varied from 32d32lsc to 325sc and closed 1sdssc net higher at S2ssc.
 Plenty of hogs discouraged investment in provisions. Accordingly at the final bell pork was off a shade to 15c, lard un- changed to 213c up and ribs 71ac to 121fc diminished in cost.
 Future quotations were as follows:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. May 4-(Special, ,)-Cable grams from Liverpool this morning stated that the increase in the sales was due to a demand from the bulls, who had sold fully good mddling forward to the spin ners, but being unable to find this in the cotton which they received, either in Liv- erpool or New York. 1t was therefore bought in the open market.
 From the opening there appeared to be heavy realizing orders, especially in the new crop, which finally caused decline of nearly 20 points, 1t would seem that last week large quantity of new crops were bought on the cold, wet weather, and as the indications are for warmer weather those who had accumulated these posi- tions sold them out. The buyers were the largest houses in the trade. Sentiment has become very bearish on the new crops, despite the buying by Europe, and nearly everyone looks for lower prices with warmer weather. On the decline the bulls appeared as buyers of May, in- creasing their holding in this crop, which is thought to be very large.
 A lower market is expected tomorrow, both here and in Liverpool.
