NE\V YORK. May 41. Liquidation of

account ■=■ was the feature of ihe stock
market a s ’he opening today This issue
opened at a full 3 points off from
Monday * closing. Subsequently it
dropped still further, going to _*6l. but at
the end «>f fifteen minutes’ trading had
tallied from its lowest range.
There was also selling’of the hard < "-g
stock here. This was generally attrib
uted to profit-taking, as professionals had
purchased on the eve of the settlement
when these stocks were rising. Lehigh
Valley lost t and Reading -S.
United States Steot-common opened at
70. unchanged from 'he last night clos
ing. The copper group was urn very
active. Both Amalgamated and Anieri
ca‘n Smelting were ’« <>ff at the outset.
Later they rallied.
Baltimore and < >hio was unchanged
Atchison was up i 4. while Union Pacific
sq'srained the same amount of losses.
The curb was quiet and irregular.
American Railways shares in the Lon-
| don market were unsettled in tone, hut
there was no speculative selling move
uient in ibis department. There was

The New Orleans Times-Demoerat. in
I its summary of the situation Sunday
morning says.
“At the week-end the cotton market de
veloned new easiness The weather was
good, spot markets were lower, and the
bear talent encouraged in the hope that
enough is true of what the big crop peo
ple are saying to clear the future of a
promise of crop disaster The big crop
people say that the absence of cold
weather and the presence of moisture in
the soil are rapidly working wonders in
changing an abnormally unfavorable crop
condition into a normally favorable one
Some even go so far as Io express the
belief that rapid germination this year
ha® made the crop in some sections ear
lier than last year, when germination
was slower. though preparations for
planting were earlier and better. 'This
sort of gossip tells on the temper of the
rings when the weather is good and the
bull talent is standing aside
“Heretofore reactions upwatd have
come on the heels of every dip Then,
however, the market was in very close
juxtaposition to a very lengthy period
of extremely had weather, and in close
touch with steady spot markets all over
the belt At the week-end. the bull ap
peared somewhat more dependent <»ti an
early return of had weather to strengthen
the resistance to declines than has been
since the beginning of the year.
“On the other hand, the friend of the
staple adheres to the belief that the
crop of 1911 has been fully sold, that the
backset given the new crop is not full'
appreciated, that the bulge in ’he supply
is more apparent than real, and that im
portant and permanent declines are no’
at all probable Nevertheless, oq the
surface of things, the market, for the
time being at least, must depend more
upon such inherent /strength as the actual
bale can develop during rapid shrinkage
of stocks than upon speculative endeavor,
unless the New York bull crowd should
again take hold in a vigorous manner."
