SHARP DECLINE IN
 COTTON MARKET
Better Weather Prospects in Southwest and July Liqui-
 dation Responsible

New York, May 5.-Prospeets for bet ter weather in the southwest and July liquidation attributed to some of the more prominent local interests seemed respon- sible for quite sharp decline in today's s cotton market.
 General business was not active, and the failure of the bullish weekly weather report to inspire any fresh buying. prob ably encouraged local selling in the late trading. The close was steady, but with in a point or two of he lowest at net decline of to 10 poihe
 Private cables attributed the relative ly firm showing of Liverpool to Ameri- can and continental buying on unfaVor- able crop accounts and the local marke ct opened steady at an advance of to points on overnight buying orders. There was a good deal of realizing at the n- itial figures, however. and the market soon turned easier
 Buying here by houses with Liverpool connections helped to steady the early market on comparatively moderate re. actions. but after the close abroad this support was withdrawn and the low point was reached in the late trading wher July sold at 12:15. or 12 points net lower and 5l points below the recent high level
 Brokers supposed to be operating fol one of the larger local houses were heav, sellers of July against purchases of new crop months and this selling may have been partly accountable for renewed ru. mors that the cotto ntaken up on May notices could not be shipped out of the local stock but would probably be re. rendered. should there be any further increase in the May premium over July Whn the first May notices were issued May and July contracts were selling or nearly even terms, while at the clos. May showed premium of about 30 points
 There were further reports from tn, southwest, indicating storm damage ant a necessity for replantng, but not many complaints were received from east of the river and the outlook for 1clearinp weather in the southwest appeared to off. set both private damage reports and the unfavorable features of the official weather review.

ABSENCE 0F EXPORT
 DEMAND IN WHEAT
Close Heavy 1-2 to 5-Sc Low er-Other Leading Staples
 Show Net Gains

Chicago, May 5.-Despite a strong front at the outset. wheat today grad ually weakened on account of the fine conditions for growth and because of en- tire absence of export demand. The mar ket closed heavy at the same as last night to 1a@ssc lower. Other speculative articles all had a net gain-corn 1a@7sc, oats, isc to ssaifc. and provisions a shade to 5c.
 E Interest in all else proved secondary to the great harvest promise for winter wheat. According to leading expert, insect damage virtually has been elim- mated as a possible source of danger to the crop and there only remains as per Ills the chance of rust, a sudden freeze, or later hot winds, too much rain or the thick stand. Pit raiders seized on this opinion as basisSfor selling pressure, and found that buying power had nearly van ished for the time being. especially as far as the general public was concerned and also in regard to the purchases for Europe.
 Rough weather which may set back spring seeding to a hazardous extent in sections where the work has not been concluded. brought some support to wheat in the early session.
 Predictions of widespread frost counted for awhile, too, in favor of the bulls and also did higher cables.
 Fear that there would be generous ar rivals of Argentine corn until late June or July gave corn prices strong upward bent throughout the day. Further storms in Argentina and reports that South American dealers were endeavoring to buy back corn sold for shipment up, to May 20, made shorts here anxious
 Improved shipping demand helped cause the oats market to climb. Besides. it was estimated that the acreage in the leading states had decreased BPS per cent.
 Provisions ranged slightly higher with hogs and corn Trade, however, was the smallest recorded in months.

SPECULATION SLOW
 AND |RRESO[UTE
Quotations Rise and Fall Within Narrow Range.
 Changes Unimportant

New York May 5.-Specuation today was slow and irresolute The confidence with which prices were bid up on the re- cent rise was missing. Outside buying fell off greatly, and professional traders shift ed from one side of the market to the other, with the result that quotations al- ternately rose and fell within a narrow range. Net changes were unimportant.
 The markets hesitation reflected the at titude of traders, who considered the out look too uncertain to permit of entering upon heavy commitments. The improve ment in Mexican affairs brought about by mediation appeared to have been discount ed Tn the rise of the last week, and there was no disposition to push the advance further pending this settlement In none of the other factors bearing upon the spec uia tive situation was there any impor- tant change, and the market drifted idly through most of the seasson.
 London prices were barely changed and foreign representatives did little here Per haps 5000 shares were sold for London This selling, together with realizing sales sent prices lower at the outset. The Hill shares led the decline, Northern Pacific losing 2 points on the report that a new

The report met with prompt denial, followed by recovery in the stock Mis- souri Pacific made temporary showing Of strength, owing to the expectation of an early announcement of financial back ing for the road, but it sold down in the last hour, after it became known that no definite action had been taken by the di- rectors at today ys meeting. The whole list eased off in the late dealings, after va rious shares had made net gains of a point or more, and last prices were near the days lowest.
 Further cuts in crude oil prices and re- ductions in dividends by pipe line com panies caused tumble in oil stocks on the curb. In some cases the declines ran to 20 points or more

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, May 5.--(Special) )-Ca- bles this morning were better than due, but our market made disappoint- ing showing at the opening and was under pressure immediately thereafter, owing to the map which showed clear ing weather in Texas and movement of the rains towards the eastern belt where they would be most beneficial.
 Predictions of fair weather in the western belt for tomorrow also had their effect in easing prices slowly de- spte the widespread feeling in local circles that the new crop months should be purchased on the decline.
 We are inclined to the view as stated yesterday that this depends largely upon the weather There might. in the preesnt pessimistic attitude of business. result considerable pressure on the market with three or four weeks of good weather.

STRONGER SPOT DEMAND DEVELOPS
Cotton Subjected tOCOnflict- ing Influences-August
 Closes 2 Points Up

New Orleans May 5.-The cotton mar ket today was subjected to conflicting in- huences that finally resulted in net de- ciines of points on September and i to points on all other months, save August. which was points up.
 At the outset prices evinced a tendency to advance, but the early announcement offered buyers by Liverpoors upward trend and New York's responsive opening was lost in the fact that clearing skies in the western belt held out promise of crop recovery where it is most needed. and operators on the short side of the market took advantage of that fact
 A counter influence toward the end of the day was the development of a stronger spot demand, and an advance of isc in middling, which had the effect of inducing very steady contract market at the close.
