Another underlying steadying feature plainly was the belief that this is short crop year.

New York, June S.-Bar silver made another violent decline in the local market today, falling about 10c to S4c an ounce. A further slump was due chiefly to cables from Lon don, which reported another severe decline, amounting to about pence at that center.

 New Orleans, June S-We witnessed the tamest opening this morning in a long time. being about unchanged to few points higher on July. There was considerable selling by commits sion houses that carried October down to 35.1Sc, or about 35 points below yes- terday's close. However in the last hour the market strengthened some what and the finals were practically unchanged from yesterdays close. The market appears to be about evenly balanced at the moment be- tween small crop reports on one side and deflation, etc, on the other side. If this good weather continues some decline is probable on which short interest would be created sufficient to cause a sharp upturn perhaps to former high.
 We do not believe the weather has settled for long favorable spell as yet and any unfavorable map will have its full effect.
 The market appears to be narrow scalping affair at present, but we still favor the long side on all material declines.-S. R. Stewart.

Cooney & Co.'s Letter


 New Orleans, June S.-In vlew of the unfavorable outlook for the new crop the fundamental features of the market appear sound from the present indicated supply and demand point of view for next season.
 The worlds carry over of American cotton at the close of this season, July 31, next, promises to be about one mill lion bales less than last years. In fact prospects are that the carry over in American will be about two million smaller than one year ago But about one million larger than last eyar's in Europe.
 Although weather has been more fa- vorable of late reports of insects, es- pecially weevils particularly in Texas, are becoming more numerous, and there is grave apprehension of possible heavy damage from such pests later in the season.
 Meanwhile there are indications for a change in climatic conditions In the in- terior. Should wet weather make it's appearance again in the near future, market will likely advance once more.
 Hubbard Bros & Go.
 New York, June 8.-Cables this morning were lower and considerable attention was attracted by another sharp decline in the price of silver. This, it is feared VIII nave the eIIecI or causing IlOic Soi- cellations in Manchester, as it upsets all the eastern exchanges. The decline or silver silk and wool in the past three months is remarkable, and it naturally has quite an influence on the cotton trade, who are convinced that nothins but the crop outlook has prevented much the same thing happening in cotton. The crop outlook, however as is well known has been serious and has raised the question as to the supply of cotton Al the moment the local sentiment is bear ish and speculation is entirely lacking, so that the market fluctuates within rather narrow limits, sagging off with better weather and the unfavorable out side conditions. The short interest has has somewhat increased but it Is not large enough in the absence of any par ticularly new feature on the bull side to result in higher prices. We think the market will continue to sag with better weather until there is a change in the character of the news which will bring Tn short covering. In that case we might easily have a quick ery.-Hubbard.
