Conditions Reversed From Those

BOSTON, May 28.—Wool business lo
cally is irregular The leading feature
of the past week has been the opening
Hnd sale of srfrne new’ clip territory
wools. These wools are selling very
slowly, the present condition being al
most a complete reversal of that pre
vailing a year ago No further sacri
fice sales of old wools are reported. Few
leading houses nave any volume of wool
to offer. Conditions in the West are
Improving from the dealers' standpoint,
as growers have moderated to some ex-
tent their demands. Buyers also have
changed their attitude a little The en-
j riaavor to market the new clip wools.
however, is so difficult as to prevent
j free buying In the West at the level of
' prices recently quoted.
Receipts of wool in pounds for the
week ended and Including Wednesday

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "The dilemma of the cotton mar
ket was made clear yesterday. The
trade buys contracts as hedges against
future need, hut refuses to sell. The
public is not in the market at all. The
talent, as a rule, has been bearish all
spring and has sold whenever a profes
sional speculator or a merchant would
buy All along speculative shorts in
numbers have counted on favorable
weather and favorable crop reports to
depress the market and give them op
portunity to cover at a profit. All this
was. of course, based on their belief in
a balanced market. Belligerent bears
never for a mpment imagined that the
public would drop out or that the trade
would turn into a sponge.
"Recently the weather became ex
tremely favorable and the character of
the crop reports reflected much im
provement. But because the long in
terest in the main is held by the trade
and is not for sale, nobody stood ready
to feed contracts to the market and ex
pectant shorts began to discover that to
get under cover they would have to bid
the market up to a point where scalp
ers would supply them.
"On Monday shorts were made ner
vous by the drift of the market. On |
Tuesday they were worried. On Wed
nesday they were apprehensive and on
Thursday they were excited. Under the
circumstances high price people experi
enced no difficulty in obtaining a hear
ing for bullish data and when they
talked of the possibility of too much
rain to follow in the wake of too much
drouth floor traders gathered round the
weather boards and talked in whispers."
* * *
Too much rain.
w « *
While there is some talk of reaction,
the bears seem afraid to put out ahy
lines just yet.
* * *
It was very evident during the late
trading yesterday that there was still
a large short Interest in the market.
* * *
McFadden brokers continue to buy
and it ! s said they are bullish on the
spot situation.

Disappointing Cables and Bear
News From the Weather Man
Encourage Selling.
NEW YORK. May 23.—On overnight
buying orders the cotton market opened
firm to-day. May 6 points higher, with
other positions showing irregularity,
being 1 off to 2 points up from last
night's close.
The appearance of clearing weather in
the Western belt with a probability that
it would extend to the rest of the belt
by to-morrow caused considerable un
loading after the call. Much of this was
absorbed by overnight buying orders.
Commission houses, the ring crowd
and Wall Street, also a few’ brokers with
spot house connections sold heavily.
The selling was said to be profit-taking.
May dropped back to last night's close,
while other positions declined some 4 to
•X points under the previous close. The
buying was light and scattered.
During the forenoon a renewal of
buying predominated, which checked the
selling pressure to a considerable ex
tent, resulting in prices recovering the
initial decline. May option, however,
was not in demand and held steady
around the early low point. The ad-
\ ance was attributed chiefly to the con
tinued rains throughout the cotton
states. Rains were heavy throughout
the State last night and reports of
heavy rainfall were received during the
•ntire dav There was fear among the
locals of too much rain, which stimu
lated a general covering wave.

OUT OF SOIL
Show Only 52 Per Cent of Cot
ton Is Above Ground Yet.
J. J. Conner, State Commissioner
of Agriculture, said Friday the rains
of this week would prove a wonderful
benefit to the cotton that has not yet
come up. Reports showed, he said,
that only 52 per cent of the crop was
up. The crop is late on an average of
thirteen days throughout the State.
"The showers of last night and ear
lier in the week will work miracles in
gardens." said he. ' But so* far as cot
ton is concerned, it would be better if
the rains would stop altogether now —
that is. If the fall we have had in
Atlanta has been general.
"After the cotton crop gets up, it
doesn’t need much rain; rain brings
grass.”
Reports to the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture from 65 counties
are favorable. Only a few counties
are still suffering from the drouth.
Spring oats are turning out poorly,
but fall oats are fine.
All crops are well cultivated. The
dry weather has given farmers plenty
of time. Demonstrators declare a
greater number of farmers will follow
their oat crops with sowings of peas
and other short crops, showing a
greater tendency toward diversifica
tion.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, May 23. Excepting
that it is too cool, a condition, however,
which will not last more than a day or
two. weather developments overnight
were very favorable.
A rain formation is directly over the
Atlantics and general rains and cooler
weather are indicated for the Eastern
States, while fair weather will prevail
over the Western half with rising tem
peratures.
The press gives grave political news.
London reports a serious battle between
Greeks and Bulgarians and the peace
conference delayed.
Liverpool was disappointing and
weakened further in the last hour; spoi
sales only 5,000 at 6 points wrlvance. Po
litical developments with consols low
er must have caused an unfavorable
impression Trading here was quieter
this morning. Prices eased repeatedly,
but support appeared on depressions and
held October to 11.30.
Forwardings from Liverpool this* week
ate larger than expected, probably due
to the delay in shipments on accont of
the recent holidays.

CHICAGO. May 23.—Wheat was quite
strong early because of the smaller of

came mainly from unfavorable crop re

Atwood. Yiolett & Co.: We believe
the advance has gone far enough, un

MODERN MILLER CROP OUTLOOK.
ST. LOUIS. May 23.—This is the first
week since winter wheat was planted
that reports regarding the condition of
the crop are conflicting. There is hardly
any doubt that the crops have gone
backward, yet it appears that the de
terioration is confined to small areas
and is not of a serious nature. In many
localities the crop is losing color, and
is uneven and stand not up to the ear
lier promise, but timely rains would be
much benefit.
In the southwestern part of the belt
lack of rain Is felt most, and there are
reports of damage by chinch bugs. It
will take only one more good rain in
the near future and a few show’ers later
on to bring the crop to maturity. Most
of the wheat has headed in a fairlx
satisfactory way. but the rapid growth
noted for some time past has not been
maintained, as the colder and dry
weather has retarded growth and in
some localities the straw is short. The
harvest which the conditions up to a
week ago indicated w*ould be exception
ally early will be delayed to some extent,
yet should be no later than in a normal
sense.
IOWA GRAIN OUTLOOK GOOD.
CHICAGO. May 23.—Des Moines says:
"We can not realize how much crops
have suffered in other localities and
States, but so far as Iowa is concerned
we feel that the oats acreage is about
as large as last year, and it Is stated
that the soil is in best of condition and
growth of small grain i# very remarka
ble for this time of the year. Should
we have anything like reasonable ard
pleasant weather, farmers will finish
corn planting very rapidly, and then
you can look for movement of corn and
oats that will surprise you.’
