appointing Liverpool and unfavorable

Soon after the opening, fresh buying
was induced by reports of a good SPot
demand which could not be satisfied
with the limited offerings on factors
tables, but prices were held down by
the sheer weight of selling orders from
manipulators. Up to noon the active
positions at the highest were 1 to 2
points lower than yesterday’s finals,
and at the lowest they were 10 to 11
points lower. M the Kading July

are of the opinion that min would not
hurt the crop in many sections, as
reports are beginning to make men-
tion of hard, dry ground and it is
generally recognised that while cot-
ton is up to a good stand in many lo-
calities the rainy spell since planting
began has not been favorable to root
development, but has left the plant
in a poor condition to stand anything
like a prolonged spell of dry weather,
no matter how healthy and well de-
veloped its foliage may appear.
In the spot market about 1506 bales
of f. o, b. cotton were sold up to 1

AGO GRAIN MARKET.
By Sanger & Ettelson,
New York, June 7.—(By private wire
to Sanger & Ettelson.)-The market
today has been very quiet with only
a small business doing. There was
nothing in the cables from Liverpool
which merely reported a similar con-
dition over there. Although there were
indications of a better inquiry for
•pots. Prices eased off after opening
on some selling by the long contingent,
who are against the market on account
of the better weather conditions
throughout the cotton belt, but after
the market had reported a figure below
yesterday's prices a little more buying
came in. This was stimulated by re-
ports from the southern markets that
more was doing In actual cotton ex-
porters having buying orders in the
continent. Under this buying, prices
recovered last night's close, but alto-
gether the market was sinall and un-
interesting. We believe that there is
considerable outstanding interest In the
July position which will be liquidated
gradually. Any sudden decline would
bring this liquidation on the market
and would tend to widen the present
difference between July and October.
At the same tfme on a falling market
the spot demand should Increase and
with any bad crop reports we might
see a revival of speculative interest
Burwell, King & Co's Letter.
New York, June 7.—(By private wire
to Burwell, King & Co.)—It is a widen-
ing market. Remaining longs Are con-
fidett that the first streak of bad
weather will justify their position and
are stubbornly cotesting a further de-
cline. About all the selling has been
don ori a few days of good weather
follow a long spell of unfavorable
weather any but (he strongest profes-
sionals care to attempt and the result
is a narrowing and Irregular market.
Bulls are waiting for the bad weather
to revive demand and start covering;
Increased as
ment, with July selling at 7.89c, Octo-
ber, 7.94c and December, 8.06c, or net
declines of 8 to 16 points. That this
decline did not catch spot orders on
the long side seemed disappointing to
scalping shorts. The market during
the later trading ruled generally
steady to firm on covering and New
Orleans buying accompanied by the
reports of very firm spot markets in
the south and private wires claiming
rains In various portions of the west-
ern belt. The close was very steady
at an advance of 2 to 6 points. Sales
estimated at 206,000 bales.
Receipts of cotton at the port* to-
day, 20,144 bales, against 29,724 bales
last week and 1651 bales last year.
For the week 160.000 bales, against
122.770 bales las week and 14,244 bales
Metal Market
By Associated Press.
New York, June 7.—Tin—-Market un-
changed in London at 186 pounds 7s
6d for spot and a shade higher at 185
pounds, 2s 6d for futures. Locally un-
settled, >29.87 1-2.
Copper—Lower abroad at 65 pounds
11s 3d for spots and futures, loocally

Spelter—Unchanged in both mar-
kets, being quoted at 28 pounds, 12s 6d
in London and $5.30 locally.
iron—49a 4d in Glasgow and 45s 6d
in Middles boro. Locally unchanged.
Amalgamated Copper got lower, and
this served to discorauge the bear ag-
gression on the stock. When the at-
tacks were deserted from the tendency
9f.the general list an advance mani-
fested itself. The best explanation of
the advance is that prices declined yes-
terday and the traders had proceeded
as far as they dared on the bear side
in view of the present very inferior di-
mensions of the market.
The day’s gains were pretty well
conserved, owing to the almost total
lack of either buying or selling in the

Fort Worth, Tex., June 7.—The mod-
erate receipts of cattle today in no
way affected the market and under
generally dull tone prevailed with
prices no better in any class. The
steer run was composed of medium to
common quality grassers, with the sup-
ply of butcher stock made a few loads
of fairly good quality cows and med-
ium to common quality grassers, with
a moderate supply of vealers of fairly
good quality, and a proportionate run
of bulls, stags and oxen. Trade today
in all quarters was slow with prices
barely steady with the decline the first
two days of the week. The steer mar-
ket today ranged from >3.25 to 2.66 for
the supply. The butcher stock trade
was slow and dull with the best cows
selllug ea^y at the 25c decline of the
first two days of the week. The best
cows today averaged 934 and brought
>2.50 with the bulk ranging price from
>1.50 to >2.40. Bulls and stags are
quoted from >2 to >2.50. The calf mar-
ket ruled about steady with tops sell-
ing at >4.75 and the bulk ranging in
prices from ».25 to >4.50. No quotable
Qhange can be no tlced in the market

an advance of about 4 was looked for.
In the afternoon ■hurts were dumfouhd-
ed to find the local market 16 points
higher than the low of the day, July
having sold up to 8.16. Private ca-
bles stated that the English market
declined in consequence of more fa-
vorable crop accounts. Doubtless yes-
terday’s weekly and the continuance of
fair weather had an unfavorable effect
on values abroad, but expressions from
across the sea entertain a favorable
opinion of the future course of the
market. There are more hopeful signs
for ggace between Russia and Japan
on the polliical horizon, influential
members of the imperial fainlly becom-
ing reconciled to the inevitable by join-
ing forces with the peace party in Rus-
sia looking to a settlement of the war.
All markets were favorably affected
by such developments today. There
was more doing in actual cotton, Amer-
ican and Continental spinners having
re-entered the market for immediate
wants. Notwithstanding the large ex-
ports to foreign shores thus far this
season, •pinners’ stocks of Europe on
May 1 were smaller than last year and
Europe’s consumption for the month of
April was 149,000 against 154,000 last
year. If it should oome to pass that
spots are to become in better request
than of late, the market would be in-
fluenced more thereby than if favorable
weather was to continue in the belt.
The supply of desirable grades is so
small in the limited local supply ware-
houses that buyers meet with much
difficulty in efforts to fill orders. The
manner in whih the large old crop is
being consumed speaks only too well
for the future. Thus far Japan, with
all her trouble, has,taken 286,960 bales
against 48,006 for the whole of last
year and 148,900 year before. Com-
pared with conditions which existed
at this date in 1903, when 19,000,000
bales was the season's yield, the pres-
ent outlook is not any more promising
and it is doubtful if the orop, as a
whole, is any earlier; planting in some
portions of Texas, Arkansas and Louis-
iana remaining unfinished at so late
a date as this. Last year two bales
were reported at Brownsville, Tex., on
June 11. This year there is no telling
when the first new bale will be report-
ed and grave doubts are entertained
as to whether or not the late planted
will mature.
Burwell, King & Co.'s Letter.
New Orleans, June 7.—(By private
wire to Burwell, King & Ca)—The
cotton market today seemed to be
controlled entirely by people who for
one reason or another want lower
prices. Bullish sentiment grew among
the most solid element in the market
and there were bull features that ought
to have put values up for a material
gain and yet every time the market
gave indications of putting on a spurt
it was controlled by a volume of sell-
ing orders that evidently came from
powerful interests. The two most
important features of the morning
were the indications that much was
being done in diplomatic circles be-
tween Russia and this country to bring
peace between Japan and Russia and
a strong spot demand that swept fac-
tors’ tables of everything offered at
anything like the market price. Con-
servative spot men said that the spot
demand was batter than it has been
for weeks. The market opened quiet
with prices showing surprising
strength against such bearish features
as a disappointing Liverpool market
and an extremely favorable weather
map. On the call the atclve months
showed a loss of only 1 and 2 points.
During the morning prices alternately
sagged under selling by manipulators
and recovered on the bullish news
mentioned above, but the fluctuations
were narrow, the rayge of prices up
to 1 p. m. being ony, 19 points. At
the lowest prices the aotive months
were 16 and 11 points lower than yes-
terday's close and at the highest were
unchanged to 1 point lower than yes-
terday’s close. The greafr portion of
the weather map was clear and dry.
