COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
Favorable Weather Reports
Fail to Stimulate Fresh
Selling

New York, May 17.--Reports of bene-
fetal showers or rains throughout the
drouthy sections of the eastern belt
failed to stimulate much fresh selling
in the cotton market today and the
close was steady net points lower to 2
points higher.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to a decline of 4 points;
generally to points lower under
liquidation and some local pressure en-
couraged by indications that the
drouthy conditions recently complained
of east of the river had been fully
relieved. Numerous private reports were
received indicating that precipitations
had been more or less general and there
were also more favorable reports con-
corning the new crop outlook. The
outlook for continued showers was
considered favorable as tending to re-
move all doubt as to rainfall sufficient
for the time being but there did not
seem TO be much cotton for sale and
prices soon steadied on covering for
over the weekend and scattered trade
buying. October rallied to the closing
price of last night while July and win
ter months sold a point or two above
yesterdays final figures and closing
prices were within a point or two of
| the best.

Pleased the Boy

From London Answers.
In one of the missionary schools of
China the ages of the male students
range from 9 to 35. often father ans
son attend school together and some
times run spirited race for the first
place in class. Sometimes family
rivalry is productive of dire results.
The second master had been a short
time at the school when one day he no
ticed that a boy was absent and he
made inquiries as to the reason. The
following dialogue in Chinese imme-
diately ensued:
Officious Boy--Please, sir, Li-ho-
Wack isn't we'll
Master-Whats the matter with?
Olicious Boy--Efis father thrashed
him last night and he is too bad to
come to school today.
Master-He must have committed n
serious offense to merit thrashing.
What did he do?
Officious Boy-Please, sir. he laughed
when you caned his father yesterday.

WEAKNESS AMONG

Declines Run From | IL to
Nearly 3 P0ints-Banks
Show Gain

New York May 1.-THE effect of to-
days trading on quoted values of stocks
was slight. Speculative interest was gen
eral in the market and the volume of
business was barely sufficient to preserve
the semblance of life in the dealings.
The narrow movement of the leading
stocks were irregular, with lower ten
dency. After opening at small decline,
prices moved above yesterdays close, but
later eased off again on the appearance
of some selling orders. Not few of
the issues which frequently are active
dld not appear on the tape today. 1t
was the second day in which there were
no transactions in Lehigh Valley.
few stocks broke away from the list
and moved widely. Canadian Pacific was
again under pressure and broke nearly
points. There was a further pro-
nounced weakness among the Rock Island
and the st. Louis and San Francisco
securities, selling of which was con-
spicuous feature of yesterdays trading
No authoritative explanation was offered
of the weakness of these issues, declines
of which ran from 11s to nearly points
st. Louis and San Francisco common
and second preferred, Denver and Rio
Grande preferred, Baltimore and Ohio pre-
ferred and Seaboard preferred made new
low ecords for the year
Predictions of substantial gain In cash
by the banks as result of the week S
operations were fully borne out by the
bank statement. The actual cash gain
amounted to approximately, $500, 900.
Changes in loans and deposits were small.
and $5,716,000 was added to the surplus
reserve.
Mercantile agencies in their weekly re-
views reported the continuance of fair
ly good volume of general business. with

ture. influenced by prospective tariff
changes.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, May 1.-THE cotton
market was quiet and narrow the week
through. The net results of the weeks
trading Were a loss of 4 to points.
The high prices were made on Tues
day and the lowest prices on Friday.
At the highest the trading months were
8 to points over last weeks close; at
the lowest they were IL to Is under
The range was q to 23 points.
The main features of the week about
balanced. Good crop accounts from some
portions of the cotton region were off
set by complaints of too little rain
and cold nights from others. BY some
crop experts the crop was called very
spotted. The chief complaints came
from the eastern half of the belt where
lack of moisture and cold weather have
prevented seed from terminating. To-
ward the end of the week the east
ern beltN received considerable rain,
which was the main cause for the net
decline in prices. After the middle of
the week temperatures all over the
belt displayed a tendency to warm up.
In regard to the old crop, unfavor-
able statistics We're offset by talk of
bulls demanding actual cotton for their
long July contracts. At times there
was talk of easier spots In the In
terror but no great amount of offer
fngs made their appearance at any
points. Bulls claimed that it was as
difficult as ever to buyAspot cotton
and pointed to local prices to prove
their contention.
In the spot department prices ad-
vanced IL of cent, middling CLOSING
at 12 5-16c against ~ 3-16e last week
and 1lssc this week last year. Sales
on the spot amounted to 1717 bales
against S54 last week and 1881 this
week last year Sales to arrive amount
ed to 2461 bales against 500 last week
and 1882 this week last year

larger than had been anticipated. Inc
dullness of local exchange conditions was
reflected in the decrease of S3,e3S,6O0 In
loans Net deposits principally because
of receipts OF cash, rose s5,39o,0oo and the
result of the changes noted was TO IN
crease the reserve by $5,776,s0O. bringing
the present reserve above the % per cent
minimum to s25,579, 400. The reserve fig-
ured on the basis of the daily stands at
S24, 547 400 The increase for the current
week having been s7,606,ooo 1t is worthy
of comment that the trust companies are
strengthening their cash position. The
gain In specie and legals for the week
by those institutions having been nearly
$f13, ,0o0 The reesrve at this time Is
somewhat higher than for number OF
weeks past.

DECIDED RALLY IN
THE WHEAT MARKET
Signs That Powerful Inter-
ests Were Taking Best
Offerings Responsible

Chicago, May 17-Signs that powerful
interests were taking the best offerings
on every dip caused by weak cables gave
the wheat market today decided rally.
The close was steady at prices varying
from NC under last night to ss cents adj
vance. Latest trading left corn sc off to
a like amount up, oats unchanged to 1sc
higher and provisions with a gain of 2I5c
to 15@171ac.
Spectators who had BEEN figuring that
some of the wheat in Chicago would be
available for delivery on July contracts
received a jolt from predictions by high
authority that unless there was a general
advance in new crop prices every bushe,
of the old wheat here would be advanced
TO a. considerable premium over July or
lie entirely sold by July 1. Bullish senti-
ment was increased by the fact that the
May delivery ruled tight and led the up
turn which took place in the last part
of the session.
Definite settlement of the draft con-
troversy that has hampered exports to
Great Britain tended further to discourage
the bears who early in the session seemed
to have the whiphand owing to ideal
weather in both winter and spring crop
territory. The settlement was by agree
ment on seven day drafts instead OF
sight.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
today equaled 1,$3S,c00 bushels; primary
receipts of wheat were $4,000 bushels; a
year ago $4,000.
Corn traders had the narrowest mar
ket of the week. Doubt as to the truth
of talk of large receipts soon from the
west prevented any material set bacr.
Shorts in oats covered, and SO wiped out
the bearish influence of showers in Illi-
nois and Indiana. Provision prices were
pushed higher. Actual transactions,
though, were few
