The Morning News Office,
Thursday, June 6.
The improvement in the spot cotton
market 'to-day was an encouraging fea
ture in view of the dullness which has
characterized that market for weeks past.
More general inquiry from exporters re- j
suited in transactions of some importance
for this stage of the season, and lends
color to belief that an even more
spirited demand is to follow. Sales from
factors' taibles to-day were 414.
A corresponding activity was expressed
in the f.o.b. branch, in which the offerings
were in sufficient volume to Invite trad
ing. Business was said to be quite free
t-n a basis of B%c for good middling. From
sections which have heretofore clung
tenaciously to their cotton, came offerings
at prices that exporters seemed willing*
to meet. Cotton futures at New York
closed with prices 6<gß points higher. New
fork stocks closed quiet and below the
best.
Spirits turpentine closed firm at 32c, a
decline of %c below' the opening. Rosin
closed firm and unchanged with no of
ficial transactions reported at the Board
of Trade. The following resume of the
markets will show the tone and quota
tions at the closing to-day:
COTTON.
The cotton closed quiet and unchanged
with spot sales of 444. Receipts were 861
against 61 last year, and 147 year before
last. In the f.o.b. branch trading was re
ported more active than for some time
past, and the closing showed sales of
considerable lots. Exporters were inquir
ing more generally, and seemed willing
to take cotton less dtscriminately than
previously. Sales on a basis of B%c were
reported. New York futures closed quiet j
< rid steady, 6@B points higher.

months. This business resulted in the
far months, showing relatively greater
strength. Our market opened firm at an
advance of four to seven points, and con
tinued on the upturn all the first hour.
At the best level of the day a net rise
of some 9 to 11 points was apparent with
July and August, the main stay of the
market. Again rumors were circulated
to the' effect that August shorts were to
be rounded up in turn, the cotton taken
in July settlements to be held over until
September on belief in a late crop. Poor
crop advices, smaller receipts, wet
weather in the central and eastern belt
with more predicted for to-night, and
to-morrow, and continued drought in
parts of the Southwest, all combined to
help stiffen the market in the afternoon.
Protit-teklng and a lull in demand from
the short side allowed prices to sag sev
eral points in the late session, but the
market at no time showed real weakness.
On the early advance the public was a
moderate buyer of the new crop positions.
Mad streeit bought August, the South
covered near month shorts, and the West
purchased! a few lots of July. The room
was a consistent buyer, until the after
noon reaction set In. The market was
finally quiet and steady with prices, net,
6 to 8 points higher.

H. A B. Beer’s Cotton Letter
New Orleans, June 6.—The advance in
Liverpool was due to the Commercial
and Financial Chronicle's report on acre
age which showed an area of 26,868,691
acres, or an increase of only 55-100 per
cent., whereas It was generally expected
to oonfirm the Increase given by the bu
reau last week. The late months in Liv
erpool were relatively stronger than the
near positions, owing to the fact also that
the Chronicle indicated an indifferent con
dition of the plant. Outside of the Chron
icle report there were no features of note
and the market was very quiet all day,
most of the trading again going into the
new crop. The Bombay movement for the
week was 49,000 receipts, against 9,000 only
last year, whereas shipments were 40.000.
against {>,oflo. The total to date is nowr
1,676,000 receipts, against 866,000 last year,
and shipments 576,000, against 84.000. The
movement at the four leading interior
towns was enormous again to-day, and
we continue to hear of immense holding
in the interior for this season, indicating
there will be more than enough to go
around this year, in spite of attempted
squeezes. Some of the buying this after
noon of new crop was on reported local
rains east of the Mississippi river. We
think that weather conditions will con
tinue to govern prices of next crop
months, while the course of the near po
sitions will largely depend upon the out
come of the New York July deal and we
would again caution our friends against
operating in the latter, either here or in
New York. During the summer months
we shall only issue a circular three times
a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
unless something unforeseen should
transpire to cause activity.
Hubbard Bros. <Sr Co.’ Cotton Letter.
iNew York, June 6.—The strength of the
nearby positions In Liverpool induced the
reversing of the straddles which have
been made between this crop and the
new. This operation gave more strength
to the new crop deliveries there and
brought arbitrage orders here. Locally
the market has been small one after
the business on the call. Covering on the
part of the July shorts continues, but
there is no indication that the concen
trated interest has sold. The supply seems
to come from the shorts of cotton here
for deliveries. Weather predictions of fa
vorable weather over the cotton belt for
the next few days caused the weakness
after the noon call. Trade is passing into
the new crop with the local trade buyers
on all weak moments with the business of
a retail character.

THE RICK MARKET.
Advices from the South note increasing
inquiry for rice at all points; under light
supply along the Atlantic coast former
prices are maintained. In New Orleans
and generally throughout the Southwest
mo fit of the mills are closed for the sea
son. The remainder f the crop in the
hands of a few large holders, who are
looking confidently forward to better
prices. It is generally conceded that the
supply thus far is inadequate to meet re
quirements; contrary conditions thus far
attending the general, leave a more ex
tended period to be provided for than
usual.
Operations along some of the upper riv
ers in Carolina have been brought to a
halt by reason of freshets, and deferred
if not greatly diminished crop, will result
therefrom.
Cables and correspondence from abroad
note a steady and enlarging demand,
strictly limited however, 'to early require
ments. There is no expectation on any
side of weakening values, but under full
prices buyers do not have the usual stim
ulus for anticipating wants.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Trading Quiet With Sharp Losses In
Sonic Issues.
New York, June 6.—There was a sub
sidence of speculative activity In stocks
to-day, with a resulting impression in
prices. Losses are quite large in some of
the principal active stocks which have
been recent favorites in the speculation.
The market was ruled very largely by
technical considerations. It developed
from the smaller volume of dealings and
the lack of support for prices that yes
terday's operations had resulted in the
elimination of a large short interest and
that the demand from that source to cover
short contracts had been taken advantage
of by rive bull contingent to realize profits
on heavy long lines of slocks.
The mutual closing up of accounts had
a decided effect on the speculative appe
tite and the ushering in of the hot season
accentuated the indifference of the trad
ing. There were rumors current all day
that the covering by (he bears yesterday
had been achieved at considerable cost,
and more or less uneasiness was caused
by this fact. The emphatic denials from
official sources of a number of the rumors
which have played a part in the recent
bull movement, especially those bearing
on consolidaiions and absorptions of many
of the minor railroad systems, was a
somewhat depressing factor.
An Influence In the same direction wns
the disclaimer on the part of parties In
terested, of the assumption that the en
trance to the Atchison directory of a mem
ber of the Arm of J. P. Morgan & Cos. was
an ind4cation of Morgan holdings of the
stock with a view of establishment of a
community of Interest.
The net changes In stocks give no ade
quate idea of the extent of the day's
price ranges. There was a considerable
show of strength at the opening, partly
due to the Influence of London on account
of operations by r a coterie of Americans
now in London. The reduction in the
bank rate Is accepted as thorough assur
ance over the future of the foreign mongy
markets, as London has large future re
quirements to meet and owes large Bums
to Paris, which Is important to keep In
the London market by the payment of an
attractive rate of Interest. The selling
pressure, however, made an end of the ad
vances before the end of the first hour.
The feverish tone of Rock Island was a
somewhat unsettling influence, owing to
fears that u corner may develop in that
stegk. The issue of $10,000,000 new stock
yesterday came as a total surprise to the
street, as there has been an enormous ac
cumulation of the stock recently, and the
outstanding short Interest Is known to
be large. The reaction In the stock In
sympathy with the general market did
not serve entirely to reassure sentiment.
There were a few points of positive
strength. This, however, had only slight
Influence In offsetting the general reac
tionary tendency.
The various tobacco companies were
most prominent, and advanced on the in
corporation of the new company in New
Jersey, which Is believed to be for the
purpose of taking over and combining all
the present companies. American Tobac
co rose an extreme 17i; Continental Tobac
co 274, and the preferred 574, and Ameri
can Snuff 474. Louisville and Nashville
was strong on the ground of Its compara
tively low price and large earnings, and
advanced 2%. Missouri Pacific rose at
one time 2%, believed to be on account of
progress In the great Missouri Pacific
project. In the reaction after the opening
the Grangers, Pacifies, Southwesterns and
New York utilities suffered most heavily,
St. Paul losing 4, the preferred 4% and
others in the group from, 2 to 3 points.
Declines of 1 to 2 points were fairly gen
eral in the active list. There was a good
rally, but prices ran off again at the
weak dosing almost to the lowest In some
cases.
There were some late rallies In the bond
market which redeemed It from the early
easy tone, making the changes for the day
Irregular. Total sales, par value, *3,710,000.
United States refunding 2's advanced %
per cent., and the new 4’s % per cent, on
the last call.
