PRODUCE MARKETS.
Chicago, 111., May 11.-Wheat had a varied
experience to-day. The government crop
report i/utting one way and bad California
crop reports and a large export business
tugging in the opposite direction made a
decidedly turbulent market of it. In the
end July had advanced %o. Corn and oats
were remarkably strong, gaining %c and 1 tc
respectively. Provisions were easy, but
show no material price changes.
Wheat showed at the opening the disap-
pointment felt by the crowd at the govern-
ment crop report issued yesterday. This
and the fact that Liverpool was lower at
the opening started July at 72%@<2%c, a
decline of %@%c from yesterday's close,
25 prem. | aml unt|er the liquidation which started, a
further decline to 72c took place at once.
But the reaction was as sharp as the de-
cline had been. Tills was due primarily to
the reiteration of crop damage from Cali-
fornia and was helped along by a quick
improvement at Liverpool. Another matter
that went a long way toward obliterating
the bearish effect of the government report
was the elimination by the board of No. 2
spring as a contract grade. July was want-
ed at 72%c, but dropped back to 72%c be-
fore going higher. It had several rapid
and material changes after that. It rose

vance. To-day, however, the general tone
in London was so strong and the, improve-
ment so great that it extended to the
Americans without waiting for New York's
initiative. The cessation of the day's trad-
ing in London was followed by the an-
nouncement here of a $500,000 gold ship-
ment on Thursday, and this was followed
by a vague rumor that shipments for the
week would probably reach a total ol
$7,000,000. Although gold shipments have
been expected and confidently predicted lor
this week the bulls lost heart in face of the
actual announcement, and the whole mar-
ket sold off, with a subsequent recurrence

the last twenty minutes the market became
suddenly wild anu excited. July shot up
from 72%c to 73',jc. The demand for the
moment was enormous. The reason given
for it was a vague rumor that 100 boatloads
—eciual to 800,000 bushels had been taken
at the seaport for export. The closing was
nervous at 73Vic asked.
Corn was not very brisk in the trading,
but It was very strong, it opened In a hes-
itating way, but soon began to improve,
and the best prices of the day were cur-
rent at the close. Shorts took alarm at
the firmness of wheat and the- continuance
of recent small receipts.
Oats were firm, with May particularly
strong, the principal Influence being the
l ength of wheat. It was largely a chang-
ing market. The demand for shipment was
good, but offerings scarce.
Provisions were again extremely dull,
with an under current of weakness on ac-
count of liberal receipts at the western re-
ceiving points. Buying was scattered, the
firmness of grain preventing any material
decline. , , , ,,,. , .

News Office, May 11.—Liverpool broke 2
to 2% English points to-day, and the Ameri-
can markets opened down in sympathy.
Trading during the first hour in New York
was extremely dull, with fiuetuations re-
stricted to a range of 2 to 3 points. On
second call there was an advance, and at
the close the market was 4 to tl points up.

Bradstreot comments on the cotton siiua
tion as follows;
The strong statistical position of cotton
and the rather discouraging prospects for
planting in portions of the Mississippi val-
ley have had an effect in stimulating cot-
ton prices, in the face of war in Euroi**,
actual and prospective. The fact that the
advance in prices has been so small (cotton
is now 7 11-itic, :)sc above the price paid at
the middle of March, but %c In-low the price
a year ago) is only additional proof, often
lost sight of in'the cotton as in other mar-
kits, that other factors than an apparently
strong statistical position are to be reckoned
with. Advices from Liverpool, as per Elli
son's latest circular, are that early predic
tlons e t supply are proving reasonably cor
reel. These prediction® favored a decrease
in the Indian supply of 300,W bales, and an
increase in that from Egypt, now figured a
00,01,0 bales. Ellison's estimate of the Ameri-
can crop is in the neighborhood of 8,050,000
bales, a larger estimate than is current hirt
and 1,500,000 bales more than was produce)
last season. Our exports to Europe an
home consumption in seven months have ac
countt d for 1,400,000 of the l.nuo.ooo bale
American excess, leaving the doiielenc
In the Indian supply to be made up from
stocks on hand. European consumption is
figured at about the same as lasi season
while American spinnera have already take
100,000 bales mere, and Canada. Mexico an
Japan will take 22,000 bales more. The out
look, therefore, Is for a reduction in stocks
of cotton, the world's visible supply is now
100,000 bales below that held a year ago, and
that European stocks will be reduced to a
smaller total than in any year since 1890.
That stocks of American will be reduced to
relatively a greater extent is also fore-
shadowed.
New crop prospects are not of the rosiest,
and the domestic crop will be late. Of
course European political conditions are not
settled, but Ellison's advice to English mill-
owners to protect their sales ol yarn by
purchases of raw cotton seems sou nil. In
conclusion be says: "It is possible, of
course, that the prospects of the new crop,
which just now are not brilliant, may ex-
perience an improvement marked enough to
at least partially neutralize the lnlluence of
thri strong statistical position for the bal-
ance of the old sea.sdn, but it will be time
enough to take such improvement into con-
sideration when it puts in an appearance.
In the meantime one can only deal with the
facts and reasonable probabilities as they
at present exist, and, aside from adverse
political developments, they certainly point
to a further upward movement in values."

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New York, May 11.—The relative strength
of actual cotton as compared with the fu-
ture list continues to be the prominent fea-
ture of the cotton market, without exciting
the speculative Interest that the situation
might easily attract in normal conditions
of business. Very little desirable s;>ot cot-
ton i^ available, exceut In the way of high
grades, 011 which the demand Is not running
at present. The scope of fluctuations to-
day was only a matter of 5 to 8 points, tak-
ing the swing of the more active positions
The English cotton news was not satisfac-
tory, and crop news, while quite abundant
was more or less conflicting, with a bear-
ish average as to private accounts. Alter
opening at 1 point advance to 2 points de-
cline, the market was inactive, but linally
stfady in tone at a net advance of 3tf/0
points. _
HUBBARD BROS. & CO.
New York, May 11.—Hubbard Bros.' cot
ton letter says: To the surprise of the trad'
the official weekly crop report of conditions
sustained the information the commission
houses have been receiving from the cotton
belt regarding the poor start of the crops;
poor stands are reported from nearly every
state due principally to cool nights. This
ivport caused an advance from last night's
prices, with as much strength in the old
as in the new crop.

co-operative basis, with a market for their
cotton assured." This message ought to
set at rest the peiturbed spirits of those
individuals who from, one cause or unother
had conjured up from tho perfecting of the
new round baling process a creature as In-
distinct as it was terrible, which, in som
mysterious manner, was to work all kinds
of undefined evils upon the cotton grower
and the cotton manufacturer.
Hut here comes the announcement that
planters and ginners will be offered the
chance to share in the benefits of the new
process upon a liberal basis, while in his
address before the New England cotton
manufacturers' association Mr. 1). C. Ball
demonstrated the advantages that would
accrue from it to the mlllmen.
Added to this must be considered the in-
terview. published in another column, with
Mr. Henry Hcntz, president of the New
York cotton -exchange. He calmly and ac-
curately gage« tilt- opposition to the new
process, and from an independent stand-
point, supported by practical experience,
he says that "it is absolutely certain that
cotton packed in cylindrical bales under the
system adopted by this company will bring
higher prices all the world over than that
packed in the prevailing style."
In the assured market and the higher
price lies the advantage for the grower, and
in the realization of that fact by the grow-
ers is the strengthening of Mr. Hentz'8 opin-
ion that It is not "possible for the opposi-
tion to this innovation to prove other than
self-limiting and temporary."

It is estimated that 1250 acres of tobacco
were raised in Suflleld. Conn., last year,
which probably averaged the growers not
far from $200 an acre. At this average price
the total value of Suffield's crop would be
$250,000.

last week. The call for fleece and terri-

in good demand, with values holding firm.
