THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 16.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline OF
= points on May. unchanged on July,
but generally . to 6 points higher, and
during the early trading sold up to a
, net advance of about 10@13 points on
the old crop and of s points on new
crop positions, in response to covering
by recent sellers, renewed old-crop bull
support, buying spot and better cables,
There was still some liquidation of
July, and there was a little Southern
selling Of new-crop positions on a IA
vorable view OF weather conditions,
but while somewhat unsettled the mar
ket was firm during the middle of the
morning.
Trading became a little less active
after July contracts sold at 1886 and
the general list had worked up to a
net advance of from II to II points,
but offerings were comparatively linz
tied, and the market held steady with
in two or three points of the best at
midday. Strength in the stock market
following the Supreme Court decision
in the Standard Oil matter probably
inspired some covering by Wall Street
shorts during the morning, but the
advance seemed more largely due to
the stronger showing of Liverpool and
the renewal of old-crop bull support.

ment charging the maintenance of a

sellor Albert c, Wall, representing the
railroad company. included Abraham
Bassford, jr, a civil engineer for the

The CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, May ENTHUSIASTICALLY un-
favorable crop reports from Russia
tended to make the wheat market firm
today. Bulls were encouraged further
by the fact that the European visible
supply decreased more than was ex-
pected. Demand, however, was light,
and the advancing movement of prices
resulted in part at least from the abb
sence of any unusual pressure to sell.
The opening was b@A to " higher.
July started at SO to 1914, a gain of 40
u to %@h, and rose to S9A@%.
Scattered buying proved sufficient to
lift corn. Offerings were light because
of the strength of wheat. July opened
u to A9% up as 52ss to 52%, and
steadied at the higher level.
Pessimistic advices regarding plant
growth in Iowa and illinois hoisted
oats a little. July started u to \
dearer, at 33ss to 33% and showed no
disposition to recede.
Provisions eased off a trihe with hogs.
First sales were at last nights level
to ~ below, July delivery going at 1906
for pork, s.17h to $50 for lard. and
1914 for ribs.

In the afternoon the market became
excited on the receipt of the strong
opening in New York. These advices
were accompanied by good buying OF.

American shares jumped a point. Will

The general opinion OF the American
papers is that the decision Is a the
oretical but probably fruitless victor,
for the opponents of the money power.
The Westminster Gazette anticipate:
that the oil combination will contrive
to continue as a loose sort of fereda-
ton of interests, doing pretty much
what the company now does
The Pail Mall Gazette takes a sirnilal
view and quotes the report of the com

force competition between concerns
which do not wish to compete.
