The Morning News Office,
Thursday, May 16.
\ b ain the rise in the prices of rosin was
the feature of local trading. The effect
of the strong demand appeared in the
advances at both calls at the Board of
Trade, and also in the higher level reach
ed after the close by bidding of buyers
anxious for the receipts remaining
in factors' hands. It was un
derstood that the offerings were dis
posed of at prices entirely satisfactory to
laomrs. While the extent of the present
demand cannot be told, it seems from the
readiness of buyers to snap up the offer
ings at steadily advancing prices that con
siderable stuff may yet be wanted. Spir
its turpentine closed firm at 31%c, with*a
good demand prevailing.
The cotton market shows no life what
ever. The spot demand is light, and the
fact that prices show no tendency to move
one way or the other creates
indifference among holders. Fu
tures at New York closed steady,
EIIB points higher. New York stocks c'losed
generally lower. The local wholesale mar
kets closed steady and unchanged. The
following resume of the markets will show
the tone and quotations at the closing to
day:
COTTON.
The cotton market closed easier and
unchanged to-day, with sales from the
tables of 25. Practically nothing was do
ing in any quarter. There was no demand,
and no evidence of any immediate revival
of buying. Receipts here were 1,167,
against 83 last year, and 33 year before
last. Cotton futures at New York closed
steady 2®B points higher.

lower near month prices here and at the
close was a trifle below the previous day’s
final bids.
In the afternoon pit shorts became nerv
ous and in an effort to cover sent July
rapid.y to 7.69 c and October to 7.14 c. There
was nothing in the way of news or out
side buying orders to cause this change
on the part of room brokers.
Befote the close a slight reaction had oc
curred under fresh selling for both ac.
counts, based on belief that the short In
terests had been evened up and a long ac
count created. Again It was feared that
Liverpool would be sensitive to-morrow to
the wet weather forecast from the South

Morphy A Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, May 16.—The dry weather
conditions which have been the dominat
ing factor in the market were broken to
a certain extent to-day. Rains fell at
Paris, Denison, Fort Worth and Hous
ton, Tex., at Oklahoma, and at Fort
Smith, Ark., but these being within the
region where the crop has been suffering,
the bulls were able to maintain control,
and bears were correspondingly depressed,
although some among them said, as us
ual, that the question of moisture was
not cutting an important figure except
in the minds of people who want to see
higher prices. The best informed peo
ple in the trade who have no Interest in
the market dissent from this view. The
situation prior to May, It is contended,
makes moisture this month absolutely
necessary to give planting a good start,
and while the outlook may be less se
rious, It is asserted there is no use dis
guising the fact that bulls have the best
of the situation so far as crop reports
are concerned. Another important fact,
and one not to be overlooked, is the ap
pearance of boll weevils in many sections
to an alarming extent, and thi* "causes
much alarm. Much cotton land is being
plowed up and put into corn. Under ex
isting circumstances, with the May crop
situation anything but bearish, and prices
decidedly low, people do not care to sell
cotton, and purchases are being advised,
especially as two leading concerns con
trol July, and there is strong probability
of a queeze. The market eased off 2
to 6 points right after the opening, in
about the smallest transactions for time.
Liverpool was about % point lower. Bom
bay receipts for week. 65,000, against 14,-
000 last year. Port receipts for the day
estimated at 8,000, against 4,300 last year.
H. A B. Beer's Cotton Letter
New Orleans, May 16.—Notwithstanding
Liverpool advices were more encouraging
than looked for, our market opened 102
points lower on good rains in North
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, and sub
sequently declined 102 points additional.
The manipulative tactics of New York
on July caused shorts to cover freely
here In sympathy later, occasioning an
improvement of 84410 points from the bot
tom. making the net gain 708 points on
old-crop months and 5 points on the new.
If one were to be guided by the weekly
Weather Bureau and Chronicle, the In
ference would be that the belt was suf
fering from a drouth. The official re
port of rainfall, furnished by the govern
ment, shows that there was an abundancy
of moisture during April, and that dur
ing the past two weeks nearly every sta
tion lr. each district has reported good
showers. As an evidence of this the av
erage rainfall in hundredths of an inch
for last week and so far this week in all
the districts was as follows: Atlanta, .41;
Augusta. .49; Charleston, .42; Galveston,
.94; Little Rock. 1.12; Memphis, .75; Mo
bile, .08; Montgomery. 34; Savannah, 90:
New Orleans. .16; Vicksburg, .39. and Wil
mington, 1.86. It will be seen from the
above that the claims of rain being need
ed are fallacious; what is required dur
ing May Is showers to enable the seed
to germinate and give the plant that is
up a good start. Our private advices
confirm the official rains recorded, and
say the crop has a favorable start. Com
plaints art to be expected each year, but
it Is always well to ascertain If the facta
corroborare exaggerated statements circu
lating so freely by those Interested, es
pecially wnen we consider how lnoorrect
and misleading these crop damage reports
were last year. There is nothing In the
present situation to warrant any decided
advance. Weather conditions will, how
ever. be the principal factors In regulat
ing valuta.
Bros. A Co.’e'Cotton Letter.
New York, May 16.—The market has
been small and local during the forenoon,
the lack of general business making it
easily responsive to passing Influences.
There appears no special drift to prices
at the moment and the apathy of specu
lation Is due to weather uncertainties. Re
ceipts are liberal and a good out-turn ap
pears probable. The weather probabilities
are closely scrutinized and these are the
moving factors at present. A Memphis
telegram reads; "Reports coming better
since rain; temperature rising; conditions
more favorable and rain threatened.”

New York, May 16.—The home demand

Thursday, May 16.
SPIRITS—The turpentine market opened
firmer at 3154 c, with sales of 687, and
closed firm at 31%c, with further sales of
362. The demand was again such as to
keep trading in fair motion, and also ac
counts for the higher closing. At the ad
vance the upward turn halted, however,
as this seemed to be about the highest
price obtainable during the day, in view
of the rather free receipts. The day's re
ceipts were 1,390, and the exports 571.
ROSINS—Again the strength and activ
ity in the rosin market made It the center
of local attraction. The stiffening ten
dency has not spent its force, judging
from the substantial advances recorded on
all grades. Early in the trading the gen
eral inquiry disclosed that it was to be
another day of advancing prices. The
opening at the Board ol’ Trade showed
gains of 10c on W. G., as the outside price,
10c on N, I 10c, H s@loc, respectively, as
the inside and outside, G the same, F $1.25
@1.30, E $1.20® 1.25, D 10c. A, B, C 10c.
Sales of 1,940 were reported at the opening.
The closing was according to the sub
joined prices, with sales 1,181. After the
closing another upward turn started, with
advances of 5c on the official prices being
reported paid' for I, K, M, N and W. G.
The day's receipts were 1,143, and the ex
ports 347. Prices as follows:

THE It ICE M ARKET.
Advices from the South indicate steady
movement of rice on the Atlantic
coast, with prices well sustained. In the
Southwest a large inquiry has developed
and to the surprise and also the disap
pointment of many, orders are being turn
ed down; not so much on account of price
as inability to furnish the required style.
This applies more particularly to fair and
fancy sorts, but is in a measure also true
of medium grades.
Cables and correspondence front abroad

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Market Shone n Yielding Tend
ency In Most ((onrtere.
New York, May 16.—There was a still
further lapse of interest In the stock mar
ket to-day as was shown by the decline
In the volume of dealings below a million
shares for the first lime since the late
boom attained force. The market also
gave evidence of further progress towards
normal conditions. There was still a
rather feverish price movement, but the
oscillations showed a lessening tendency.
These are phenomena which Invariably
follow a panic. Usually the first violent
relapses after the first rebound do not
carry prices back as low as the panic
level, nor do the rebounds reach as high
as the previous levelt After the violence
of the fluctuations has subsided there is
likely to be a dull period and a gravitat
ing tendency toward a lower level unless
some new factors of strength develop to
reawaken outside buying demand. To
day the speculative contingent were in
clined to look for such anew influence to
the promised settlement of the Northern
Pacific dispute. No authentic Informa
tion can be had as to the terms of this
agreement, but it Is generally accepted in
Wall street that it will insure the safe
guarding of the interests which deem
themselvee threatened by the Burlington
deal without detracting from the benefit
of that deal to its original projectors.
The rapid progress reported to be mak
ing In the deposit of Burlington stock to
be exchanged for the proposed new bonds
seemed to Insure the rapid consummation
of the Burlington deal itself. The effect
of this development was most manifest
In St. Paul and Rook. Island. Northern
Pacific, owing to the abnormal standing
of that stock in the market was not an
index to the situation. The process of
exchange going on in the Burlington stock
affected it to some extent In the same
way. The advancing tendency in Union
Pacific tvai constantly checked, supposed
ly by the surmises as to the method of
financing the purchases of Northern Pa
cific stock made In the company’s inter
est. The advance in Bt. Paul over last
night's Jeve! reached 7%, In Great North
ern preferred, 6%, Northwest 6, end Rock
Island 4%.
Another active center of speculation wa
Amalgamatad Copper, in which the buy
ing was large, apparently by Insides in
terests and regarding which various items
of news were published during the day.
The most Important was the reported in
tention of the vice chancellor of New
Jersey to dissolve the injunction against
the absorption of the Butte and Boston
and the Boston and Montana companies.
The stock advanced ot one time 7%,
There were various other points of special
strength, the causes of which were not
always disclosed.
The relaxation of forced liquidation
made comparatively light buying orders
effective in advancing prices. There was
undoubtedly a good deal of manipula
tion by insiders In the interest of better
prices, but there was also a growth in
Investment demand for good dividend
payers. But not less striking than the
strength with which prices advanced was
the ease with which they ye re forced
down again under very light Belling with
which the day closed with prices, ail the
way from 1 to 5 points below the beat,
and with net changes a good deal mixed,
and for the most part small.
Reports of needed rains in the South
west were an early encouraging feature,
and the growth of labor troubles caused
gome uneasiness, especially the candid ad
mission by the leading publication In the
Interest of the Iron trade that there may
be widespread labor disturbances in the
trad© after July 1. The ease In the money
market wis due entirely to the failing
off In demand and speculation, as other
causes are trading to o steady depletion
of New York bank reserves.
The bond market was moderately active
and price changes were irregular. Total
sales, par value, $2,845,000. United Btates
bonds were unchanged on the laat call.
