COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Hayden, Stone A Co.s “There are so
few incentives to buy cotton and the
general outlook seem* 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 flnda 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 la
known about the crop.”
• • •
M. D. Burnley: "It is rumored the
tone of Germany’s reply is friendly and
no trouble is anticipated I believe cot
ton bought to-day will pay nice profits

PRIMARY MOVEMENT.
Monday, May 31, being Decora
tion Day, all the American ex
change* will be cloaed, with the ex
ception of the New Orlean* Cotton
Exchange.
All exchange* will reopen for
usual business Tuesday.
NEW YORK. May 29.—In the absence
of Liverpool cables, trading was again
small in the Cotton Exchange this
morning and flrat prices were 1 up to 2
point* under Friday’s finals The un
dertone was steady There was some
selling by Wall street and local scalpers
at the outset Shorts were the princi
pal buyers There was also a good de
mand attributed to leading spot inter
ests This held the Hat steady around
the previous close A* a whole trading
waa 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 figures 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. While the report
was very bearish, it fell flat on the
market."
At the close the market was steady,
with prices t to 2 points lower than the
closing quotations of Friday.

News and Notes
On the Grain Crop
CHICAGO, May 23—The Price Cur-
rent Renorter says
“Needed rain has fallen over the dry
area, and In time to help the growing
wheat and oats and to give the corn
crop a good start..
“Too much rain Has Injured some
wheat in the Southwest, a number of
Texas counties reporting damage, gome
damage has been caused by chinch bug,
but the wet weather Is very destruc
tive to the insect.
"Damage to wheat by Hesalan flv has/
been amply confirmed and the area cov
er? half of Kansa*. two-thirds of the
Mlssisaippl-Missouri lands and half of
the big wheat counties of Illinois and
Tnd’ana, with some damage fn Southern
Michigan On the whole, th*» loss from
this pest may amount to from 50,000,-
6<V> to 60.hno.000 bushel? 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 A Co. say: “Reports
show extension of flv damage Into Ohio

area westward Pawnee County reports
50 per cent loss. ' Oklahoma and Texas

the price to decline within the next few
days.
"The market is strong for anything in
fruit, all peaches, strawberries and
cherries s-elling 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 price*. The season
for Florida oranges and grapefruit is
over.
"We had the first cantaloupes of the
season out of Florida this week. The
crop is expected to start in earnest next
w'eek, which will be used in the place
no reason for a break in prices, since
our heaviest receipts come from Italy,
ard the prospects of her attention being
called to more strenuous business than
shipping lemons there is every reason for
the rrre.rket to hold firm. Watermelons
should start next week. The crop re
