May 20.—Wheat opened this morning with a weaker tone and with prices ranging from %c to %c lower.

Free offerings and lack of demand caused the market to turn very weak, and prices sagged off 1c to I%’c further on free offerings and lack of de mand. There was a rather bearish French crop report. Corn was unchanged to %c and %c low er on increased offerings, larger world’s shipments than looked for and a big in creased amount on ocean passage.

May 18.—Although cables were better than due, a favorable weath er map occasioned an easy opening of the cotton market here today, when prices were sto 13 points lower. Private weath er advices predicted a continuance of fair weather over Sunday. A notable feature of the early trading was selling by Ala bama interests, who recently have been bullish. After a while trading was not active. At the close the market was 16 to 23 points lower than Friday's final figures with the tone easy.

HAYWARD 4 CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, May 18.—The weath er continues ideal for field operations. The mao shows fair over the entire belt, except partly cloudy over a small por tion of Texas. No rain except a sprinkle in Oklahoma City. There was a further rise of 10 degrees in temperature in the Western states, and north Texas and Ok lahoma show a minimum of 62 to 66 de grees. which is right. Night tempera tures were somewhat low in the central and Eastern states, but indications point to rapid warming up over Sunday. In dications generally are for fair and warmer weather, except possibly increas ing cloudiness in the western portion of the belt, with no prospects, however, of any rain of consequence. Liverpool was disappointing, coming 1 to 2 points lower than due on futures, and 1 point better on spots. The stock of American cotton is 1.280.009. against 810.000 last vear. 'Die Bremen stock Is 589.000. against 196,000. The Havre stock is 309.000. against 243,000. and the stock afloat for Europe is 352.000, against 174,- 000 American cotton. Our market lost about 14 points in the early' trading. Fear of the power of the billing interest in New' York is still a prominent factor, inasmuch as it causes a scarcitv of sellers. The market is narrow 4nd responds quickly either to buying or selling. It broke further in the second hour. October selling to 11.36 on weakness in New York. Professional news from there reports bull operators as rather dis appointed at the poor response of the market during the past few days. The steadv decline in English consols during this week is brought in connection with recent news from London that the coun ter is threatened with the possibility of another coal strike. The announcement in today’s press by the president of the Freight’ Handlers union in Chicago that a general strike throughout the country win be ordered attracted attention. The market next week depenUs principally on the weather. • Warmer weather is a cer tainty and should there be no disturbing rains prices are likely to show further concessions.

This condition, it is believed, is only temporary, and that the market next week will react both as to demand and prices. Both live and dressed poultry, espe cially hens, ducks, geese and turkeys, in excessive supply, which will result in the accumulations now in the market having to be sacrificed in order to move it Live fries of good size selling readily at pa ing prices A fair demand prevails for fancy table butter. The market is overstocked with cooking butter, at lower values. There is no change applying to old Irish potatoes. The new crop has been plenti ful for several days, at lower values, but the market is now cleaning up, with bet ter prospects for the next few days. Uabbage plentiful and selling at low prices, the home truckers more than meet ing the requirements at very low prices A good demand prevails for fancy toma toes, round green beans, egg plant, cel ery, yellow squash" and new corn. There is also ». good demand for new peaches and cantaloupes. The banana market is very strong and high, witli indications of further advances. Oranges and apples also scarce and high The lemon market is weak, with tHe demand limited owing to the unfavorable weather. NAVAL STORES. SAVANNAH.

The principal strength ening influences were a steady tone to cables and a moderately bullish tone in Liverpool to absence of pressure on Ar gentine cargoes and expected smaller world s shipments for Monday. Corn was ’» to %c lower on increased offerings in the pit and favorable weather for seeding. Trade was small. Oats were % to %c lower, mainly in sympathy with other grains. Provisions were 2% to 10c lower along with hogs, which lost 5c at the yards. There was a firmer undertone in the wheat market today with final prices ranging from % to %c higher. The vol ume of trade was the smallest, for the week. The trade was almost entirely pro fessional.
