COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Hayden, Stone A Co.: “There are so
few incentives to buy cotton and the
general outlook seems so unfavorable
that conservative Interests are more in
clined to buy on weak spots for the
time being. When weather conditions
are favorable in the latter part of May
and early June, prices are not apt to
be so depressed that the first unfavor
able turn In weather finds no selling
power to prevent recoveries. For this
reason many are more disposed to fa
vor purchases on weak markets than at
tempt the selling side until more Is
known about the crop.”
• • •
M. D. Burnley: “It is rumored the
tone of Germany’s reply Is friendly and
no trouble Is anticipated 1 believe cot
ton bought to-day will pay nice profits

port on condition is expected Tuesday

By HAYWARD A CLARK.
NEW ORLEANS, May 29 —The sur
prise In politics over-night was the
news from Washington that patience
with Mexico Is at an end and that
Washington will send that country a
note close to an ultimatum Coming
at a time of general political tension,
this step could only tend to further dis
turb trade feeling
Weather conditions over-night were
favorable; generally fair weather pre
vailed outside of the Atlantic*; there
was no rain west of the river, but gen
eral light showers east Indications are
for partly cloudy to fair weather oyer
the entire belt to-day, but increasing
cloudiness and becoming unsettled in tne
Western States toward Monday.
Little Rock. Ark., reports the worst,
flood in the Arkansas Valley, rains and
floods damaging crops.
The market opened unchanged and
firmed up a few points on scattered cov
ering Reading Is rather pessimistic,
but New York gossip, with haMly an
exception, shows the intention there to
disregard anything and to work for a
while on technical conditions It Is
claimed that there is a abort interest to
work on This admission of Intention
explains to a great extent why the mar
ket has not gone down lately, and the
stubborn rallies from depressions. New
York will be closed Monday
The Bureau condition report Tuesday
is expected to show an average for the
belt around the tan-year average of
79.5. We compare with a condition of
74.3 per cent on May 25, last year.

Conditions by States follows
NEW YORK. May 29.—In the absence
of Liverpool cables, trading was again
small in the Cotton Exchange this
morning and first prices were 1 up to 2
point* under Friday's ftnalB The un
dertone was steady. There waa some
selling by Wall street and local scalpers
at the outset. Shorts were the princi
pal buyer* There was also a good de
mand attributed to leading spot inter
ests This held the list steady around
the previous close As a whole trading
was merely confined to evening up over
the holidays.
| While cables from Berlin stated that
the tenor of Germany s preliminary re
ply to the United States Is of a friendly
character, traders were inclined to con
tinue their watchful waiting policy
pending the publication of the Govern
ment’s condition report next Tuesday
morning The report is expected to be
a bearish document, probably In the
neighborhood of 80 per cent
That the trade has discounted all
bearish news was made obvious this
morning when The Journal of Commerce
Issued its condition figure? as of May
23, showing percentage condition of the
crop as 80 4 per cent, against 78.2 per
cent a year ago. against a ten-year av
erage of 79 2 per cent. Whil* the report
was very bearish, it fell flat on the
market."
At the close the market was steady,
with prices 1 to 2 points lower than the
closing quotations of Friday.

"Needed rain has fallen over th< dry
area and In time to help the growing
wheat and oats and to give tne corn
crop a good start.
"Too much rain ha* injured some
wh*at In the Southwest, a number of
Texas counties reporting damage. Som*,
damage has been caused by chinch bug
but the wet weather is very’ destruc
tive to the Insect.
"Damage to wheat by Hessian fly has
been amply confirmed and the area cov
ers half of Kansas, two-thirds Of the
Mississippi-Missouri lands and half of
the Mg wheat counties of Illinois and
Indiana, with some damage In Southern
Michigan On the whole, the loss from
this pest may amount to from 60,000.
000 to 60.000.000 bushels The prospect
at the present time Is for a yield less
than last year on an acreage 10 per
cent larger than that harvested."
• * •
Clement Curtis & Co say: “Reports
show extension of fly damage into Ohio
wheat and a widening of the Kansas
area westward Pawnee County reports
50 per cent loss. Oklahoma and Texas
correspondents sav prospects are re
duced by too much rain. On the basis
of reports to date, we estimate a de
crease o f 80,000.000 bushels from May 1
promise.”

>dvices from B. W. Snow indicate

Weekly Review of
Atlanta Produce
The Fidelity Fruit and Produce Com
pany, In their weekly letter to the trade,
aay
"While our market has been badly
overstocked on a few tinea, it is In very
good rihape on most varieties The re
ceipts of squashes, cucumber* and to
matoes have been heavier than the
demand which caused prices to break to
around $1 per drum we have informed
Ch® growers and shippers, who will no
doubt divide their shipments to other
markets and send only enough to At
lanta to supply the demand, which will
erahle us to gM satisfactory prices for
their goods. Beans, wnile around $1.25
per drum, are cleaning up daily, re
ceipts are heavy, The potato market
has been better than usual, with Flor
ida receipts cleaning up without a break
In prices. The Georgia and South Caro
lina crop is now moving at very good
prices with receipts just about equal to
the demand. The low price for beans
has practically stopped the sale of cab
bage: v^ry little demand. The Florida
celery crop is over, only the green sum
mer variety to be had, which Is now
selling at satisfactory prices. Lettuce Is
very scarce. Pepper* of good' quality la
In limited supply The receipts of Ber
muda onions are heavy from Florida,
Georgia and Louisiana, and we look for
the price to decline within the next few’
days.
“The market Is strong for anything in
fruit, all peaches, strawberries and
cherries selling on arrival at good prices.
There is not enough good stock to supply
the demand Pineapples from Florida
are becoming more plentiful, but selling
on arrival at good prices The season
for Florida oranges and graDefruit is
over.
“We had the first cantaloupes of the
season out of Florida this week The
crop is expected to start in earnest next
week, which will be used in the place
of grapefruit. Contrary to expectations,
the lemon market Is w’eak. We can see
no reason for a break in prices, since
our heaviest receipts come from Italy,
and the prospects of her attention being
called to more strenuous business than
shipping lemons there Is every reason for
the market to hold firm. Watermelons
should start next week. The crop re
ported short Poultry Is firm, with
slightly advanced prices. Eggs are about
the same as they have been for some
time.”
