COTTON MARKET
LOWER YESTERDAY
Favorable Weather and
Crop News-SuppOrt on
Scale Down

New York, May 26-The cotton market
was lower today owing to favorable
weather and crop news, but met con-
siderable support on a scale down and
closed steady at net loss of IA points.
Inc opening was steady at a decline
OF TO points in sympathy with lower
Liverpool cables, and after some little
irregularity the market sold about 13 to
IA points under the closing figures of
saturday Indications for clean. warm
weather following recent rains in the
south, were considered very favorable
from new crop standpoint and numer-
GUS reports were received indicating IA
Vorable progress in the eastern belt since
the wet weather of last week and a good
start west of the river. prominent
Georgia crop and weather expert charac-
teriZes conditions of the past week as
favorable to fully 80 per cent of the belt
and travelling crop expert said the out
look was good in the sections of Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi he had visit
ed In addition to these facts, a we'll
known Memphis authority issued re-
port placing the condition of the crop at
S2s per cent, or about points above the
lO-year average, and estimating the In
crease in acreage at per cent. Rumors
that later returns to the National Gin
ners' association indicated a better out
look than suggested by preliminary fig
ures of last Friday, probably encouraged
the selling movement also, but the mar
ket met considerable support in the de-
cline.
Houses with foreign connections were
buyers of new crop deliveries, while
there was continued covering and after
selling at 11.0lc for October, the market
rallied some or points. Another furry
of liquidation or bear pressure caused a
id-afternoon reaction to the low point.
but the buying was active enough to
give the market a steady tone at the
close, which was a point or two up from
the lowest. There was no particular
change in the news from trade circles
and the main factors in the decline was
said to be the better weather and a
feeling that short interests had been re-
duced.

regarding the first condition report OF

The opening was steady at a decline of

last week. The forecast was also very
bearish, as it predicted fair weather for
the larger part of the belt

FIRST CANTALOUPES
OF THE YEAR APPEAR
Weeks Opening ON Morris
Avenue Characterized by
Unusually Brisk Trade

Morris avenue opened for business yes
terday morning with very brisk trade
Although Monday is usually character
lied by a rather slack demand, 1t was
not so yesterday. Cantaloupes were seen
for the first time. but only a few are
in evidence and they are quoted at SO a
crate.
Squash are now for sale on Morris ave-
nue. and the price is very reasonable
sl.50 to Si.75 per hamper. The demand
for this Vegetable is very good and the
supply adequate. General business in the
produce line yesterday was quite brisk
Beans are on the decline. This is due
to the fact that the local bean crop is
now coming in 'and the demand Is not
so heavy as it has been. Irish potatoes
are in good demand and the price yes
terday was increased by 10c.
The poultry market is enjoying a brisk
demand and the stringency of hens and
fryers was somewhat relieved yesterday
by small consignments. It was said that
poultry would be received from now on
with some degree of regularity and that
the supply would soon be in keeping with
the demand.
Butter and eggs are in good demand,
but there is practically no change in quo
tations of these commodities.
The grain market is in normal condi-
ton and prices are firm.
There was some change in meat quota
tions yesterday. The demand is quite
brisk and the supply in keeping.
The fish market is still enjoying very
brisk trade and the supply of fish is quite
plentiful. Prices, however, are un-
changed

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York May Especial =
Heavy American selling orders in Liv-
erpool based on a favorable weather
map over Sunday and the anticipation
of a favorable weekly report tomorrow
brought about decline here of some
10 to 12 points.
1t is evident the bearish feeling has
greatly increased as a result of the
action of the market. There is decidedly
more business in the cotton goods mar
ket during the past few days. Stocks of
cotton goods have been allowed to fall
to- small proportions at a time when
labor is well employed
European circulars comment at great
length upon the pessimism in America
and the predictions of largo crop OF
cotton. From the detailed temperatures
1t would seem as though the nights
were colder than desired

DISAPPOINTMENT ON
STOCK EXCHANGE
Opening Prices Show Irreg-
ularity Which Turned
to Heaviness

New York, May 2s.-Disappointment was
stock exchange which had looked for a
resumption of last Saturdays strong and
active market. Opening prices reflected
degree of irregularity which soon turned
to heaviness.
Various conditions and developments
were offered in explanation CT the days
movement. Chief among these was the
absence of any definite news in connec.
tion with the Union Pacifc-Southern Pa
chic dissolution proceedings, although the
chief executive of the first named sys-
tenn was in conference during the day
with the Attorney General at Washing
ton. Another deterrant factor was found
In the protracted open session of the
United States supreme court. whose de-
liberations continued long after the mar
ket's close.
There was some disposition also to pay
more than passing heed to a speech de-
livered last Saturday before a group of
bankers in the middle west by repre-
sentative of an influential local bank
ing institution, In which a distinct note
of caution was sounded Finally, the day
brought number of railroad earnings,
few of which were favorable
As partial offset to these adverse
features, the constructive side found
some comfort in an increase of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit dividend from s
to per cent annual basis. Late trad
Ing relapsed to minor proportions, with
recurrent heayiness in the leaders and
an abrupt z point advance in Virginia.

London's operations were very negli-
gible, purchases of Union Pacific and

Canadian Pacific and industrials.
