ANXIOUS AND UNSETTLED.
MARKETS OF THE WORLD ARE ALL
UNSOUND.
The Banks Afraid to Give Muoh Credit.
Gold Exports Continue—Poor Outlook
for Higher Prices for Cotton.
New York, May 13.—[Special.]—Loans do-
CTeasod $4,900,300 ; 6pecie increased $634,200; legale
increased $4,549,200; deposits increased $894,200;
roserve increased $4,959,850; excess in reserve, $17,-
784.725.
Stocks had another exciting day, with heavy
selling for both long and short aocount. Prices
deoiinod 1 to 5 points, including the best dividend
paying properties, which were evidently sold for
want of the roady cash. New York Central de-
clined to 100H, Lake Shore to 120, St. Paul to 68*4,
do, preferred to 115, Burlington to 81%, Rock
Ieiand to 68, Illinois Central to 95. The decline
was assisted by rumors that Hollins A Co. had
susponded, but they denied it in an official letter
to the stock exchange.
Bonds quiet; Atchison fours, 80)4; incomes,
47%; International firsts, 107; Kansas and Texas
fours, 794; seconds, 4?.; Texas and Pacific firsts,
75; seconds, 19H.
Silver steady at 83% c por ounce.
Sterling strong.
A half million dollars in gold went to London
o-day, and furthor important shipments to Eng-
land and the continent are expected next wook.
London again had a troublo9ome day, and the
largo joint banks will neither loud nor discount
freely.
Coffee advanced 10 to 20 points on Havre nows
and light offerings. Spot No. 7, lft&c.
Cotton very steady in the face of tho Liverpool
nows, which was unfavorable, neither Liverpool
nor Manchester being disposed to operate except
from hand to mouth, owing to financial disturb-
ances all over the world.
Wool was slow and tame. Tho manufacturing
trade was unsatisfactory and everybody appears
to be preparing for a slight retrenchment all
around. Sales this weok, 700,000 bales, including
400.000 bales domestic, mostly California.
Tho Texas sales were 12,000 pounds of fall at
17@19c; 20,000 pounds of spring at 14@16%c;
11,000 pounds of scourod at 45@47c.
Boston was extremely dull. Territory sold at
easior prices.
Tho now Texas clip meets with very little do
mand; sales, 240,000 pounds at 14*4@18c.
J. Goodman of El Paso and Mr. Haas of San
Antonio are here.
Cotton and Wheat.
Siegfr, Grunor & Co. of New York under date
of May 9. says: During tho present weok under
review the serious decline in the 6tock market
elaimed the attention of everybody, and the mer-
chandise mnrkots were rather neglected in con-
6oquonce. While all tho turmoil was going on iu
stocks, cotton maintained its ground very well
indeed, and since comparative quiet has been re-
stored in tho former the staple has done even a
little better. This, as foreshadowed in our last
roport, is duo principally to continued fears of
ovorflows in this country, supplemented of courso
by the firmness of tho Liverpool market. As
will be soon by reference to tho abovo quotations,
the improvement has been groator on tho so-
called now crop months than on tho old crop de-
liveries, which shows conclusively enough
that it is based upon fear of crop
damage rather than bettor statistical position.
But again as regards the progress of
the crop, tho "bullish influence or prospective
overflows was mitigated somewhat by good rains
in states where most needed, notably Texas. Wo
continue of tho opinion, thorefore, that buying
cotton for a rise would be promutnre, and must
etill point to tho fact that tho doilciency in tho
world's visible supply as against last year is ono
of quite romarkablo smallnoss. What bad trado
moans in England can again be soon by tho
monthly statement of export of yarns and
cloths, and, unfortunately, the horotoforo
bright spock of good trado in this
country haa lately also undergono a change.
Financial uneasiness is working harm in com-
mercial circles as much as in stock circles; col-
lections are 6low and banks are not at all roady
to accommodate customers. It is to say tho least
doubtful whether tho decrease in spinners' tak-
ings or oven a part of thorn ouly will be made up
this season under such circumstances. This iias
helped to bring tho old maxim to tho frout again,
that a short crop may after all prove a long ono,
for surely no statistician basing his calcula-
tions on a crop of 6,50U,000 bales would have ar-
rived at a rosult which is now actually before us.

As anticipated, the liquidation of May con-
tracts, both hero and in Chicago, started tho ball
rolling in tho upward movement in wheat. In
tho beginning of tho weok it was naturally hold
in chock by tho somi-panic in stocks, but there-
after the advance became all the more rapid
Continued drouth reports from Europo, with at
last advancing markets abroad, were at tho bot-
tom of this improvement. Siuce yesterday it is
reported, however, that good rains have fallen in
Austria aud Hungary, which of course has cooled
oil tho excitement somowhat. A decliue this
morning would havo been natural, but a fur'Jior
advance took place instoad, bocause of an ox-
coodingly unfavorable report from Illinois, suc-
ceeding that from Kansas yosterday. Tho latter
state reports a loss in area of 40 per cent, condi-
• £> romai"der 63 por cent, making an average
of 38 por cent for tho state. Illinois, on tho other
hand, estimates tho area dostroyed by wintor
frosts and Hoods at 30 per cent in tho northern,
49 per cent in tho centrel and ISporcoutin
tho southern divisions. With this to work
on operators look of courso for a very
poor showing by tho agricultural bureau to-
morrow, and some of thom aro bold enough oven
to form an estimate of tho growing crop. It is
hardly necessary, we think, togo into particulars
at this stage of the season. To an uubiased ob-
server it has been manifest that tho wintor wheat
crop started out under advorse condition*, which
instead of improving became worse as tho soason
went along, aud that, furthermore, tho spring
wheat season starts out undor extraordinarily
bud weathor conditions likewiso. While much of
tho latter crop mav improvo through favorable
weather later on, it is not unreasonable to say
that this year s United States whoat crop can
not possibly bo othorwiso than a very small ono.
Now if tho Europoan crops givo an oqually bad
promise it will not bo very long before the pres-
ent enormous supply will interfere as little with
an upward movoment as tho supply in cotton did
last yOar. That prices do not rush up now is
thereforo to the advantago of tho bulls. b*causo
it makos tho improvement all tho more lusting in
tho long run. •
The demand for whoat lor export continues at a
steady rato, though not as large as heretofore.
On the other haud there is a continuance of larire
clearances, showing that fnucli of the whoat now
arriving from tho west had already been plaood
abroad.
Acco-ding to Bradstreet's the world's visible
supply stood as follows on May 1: 1S93,172 039 000
bushels; 1892,1^,894,000; 1891, 95,409,000: showing
a decroa«o for the month of April of only a little
ovor 6,000,000 bushels.
Tho iutorior receipts for the week ondinxr April
29 aggregated 2,626.000 buBhols, as against, 2 30" -
000 bushels for tho corresponding wook last year
Exports from both coasts last wook 2 775 (Kj6
bushels, as compared with 3,951,000 bushola in tho
same weok ono year ago.
I. K. Glenny & Co.'s Circular.
Niw Orleans, La., May 18.-I. E. Glenny A Co.
say: Liverpool to-day was 2-64d lowor on futures
and spots easy with sales of 5000 bales. Our cable
said tho declinowas caused by financial distrust,
although they thought it had boen too rapid.
We sro of the opinion that tho incroasod rato of
Interest not only rondors tho cost of carrying
cotton against wnich contracts havo beou sold
more expensive, but it materially incroasos the
difficulty of getting money.
Notwithstanding tho docline iu Livorpool tho
American markots wero well sustained to-day,
the fluctuation! in both Now York and our mar-
ket. being confined within a range of 2 to 3 points.
Opening easy at about 2 poiuts decline, our mar-
ket remained stoady during ths eutiro day, olos-
lng at 1 point lowor than yosterday.
1 here was almost, nothing douo in spots, the
sales of which amountod to only 150 bales. Tho
market was easy.
AJt.hnn«h no uaw failures in tho north and
west wore reported to-day, the financial position
6phow8 no signs of improvement and the New
York stock market closed at tho lowest prices
yot touched, evou the best stocks closing at a ma-
terial declino.
Owing to this condition of affairs busiuoss in
cotton is very much restricted and mostly con-
fined to liquidation, a gouoral dosir j boing shown
not to engage in uny now transactions of any
magnitude.
At wood Yiolett & Co.'s Circular,
New Orleans, La., May 13.—Atwood VioIettA
Co. say: Liverpool oooned 3 to 4 points lowor
and recovered about half. This market ooonod
and closed slightly lowor than yostarday.
The financial uuoasinosa evinces a disposition
toward general conservatism, and thereforo as
tho buying power of t.ho poopio docroased, either
willingly or unwillingly, it moans goneral econ-
omy, which in tho aggregate of courso is very
groat, and thereforo as stocks of goods of all
kinds accumulate it means fowor orders to manu-
facturers. This is particularly so of cotton, and
Dun & Co.'s trado reviow for tho wook says cotton
goods aro accumulating and there is considorablo
anxiety in tho woolen goods trado.
A prominont New York firm in thoir circular of
May 3 says: "The troublo is becauso wo are im-
porting more than exporting, aud have boon for
Boine months past. Tho excoss of imports over
exports for the nine months ending March 31
last is $17,000,000, whilo during tho same period
last year tho excoss of exports over imports was
$209,000,000.
Those are tho figures for merchandise and it in-
cludes gold coin and bullion, which must bo paid
in something. This shows how our largo stocks
of cotton and grain have postponed this
trouble."
Wo quote from their report to show how gradu-
ally increasing bad trado conditions havo brought)
ubout tho declino in cotton for tho past lew
months, and until trftdo bocomes better or finances
improvo or a serious iujuiyocours to the growing
crop, we naturally can not oxpoct porinanont im-
provement.
Tho world's visible supply of Amorican to-day
is 3,003,000 bales. While this represents a loss
since last Saturday of 105,000 bales, the visiblo
Bupplv of American at Livorpool to-day is only
7000 bales loss than Saturday last. Tho stock
there is not being reduced rapidly enough to re-
lievo spot holders. Lower markots sooin to bo in
order.
Spots eloped quiet and easy, with sales of 150
bales; quotations unchanged.
McEIroy & Gibert's Circular.
New Orleans, La., May 13.—McEIroy & Gib-
ort say: Futures—Liverpool, after opening 3-64d
down, recovered l-64d and closed firm at a not
Iosb of 2-64d on tho day. Spots, although official
quotations remain unchangod, wore dull and
easier, with sales of only 4000 bales.
Our market opened1 about 2 points off, ruling
quiet and steady, and at the closing is 1 point un-
dor yosterday on the near months and unchangod
on the distant.
Tho markets generally, both here and on the
other side, ovideuco a lack of intorost with no
special features to report. Tho unsettled condi-
tion of tho mouoy market seems to bo tho chief
factor in tho featureless situation, and to it cau
bo attributed tho weakness exisitiM in spots in
New York, as woll as in this murkot, and the en-
tire question resolves itself into what we havo
stated boforo, that tho key to tho situation is
held by tho othor sido, and wo can only look for
lifo and animation when a good spot domand will
bo spiling up in Livorpool.
Tho rumor current yesterday and of which wo
iuado montion concerning the probablo assign-
ment of a New York Wall street firm, has boon
denied to-day, but the very fact that it was circu-
lated evidences tho general feeling of uneasiness
as far as tho monetary situation is concerned.
Spots horo were quiot, with sales aggregating
only 150 bales. New Orleans expects to-morrow
1100 against 2700 here and 7400 at all ports a year
ago. Receipts at port to-day will be about 6000
against 4200 last year.
Hubbard, Prlco & Co's. Circular.
New York, May 13.—Hubbard, Price & Co. say;
The small sales of cotton in Liverpool to-day
would seem to indicate a feeling of indisposition
on tho part of spinners to buy largely of the raw
matorial in tho face of tho prosont condition of
uffairs in London. In tho faco of tho unfavorable
advices from Livorpool our market has shown
wonderful steadiness to-day, declining at tho
opening some 2 to 3 points aud closing stoady at
quotations, practically the same for this crop and
a shade easior on tin noxt. No chaugois to be
notod in tho pessimistic fooling that rules in every
branch of commorce, and the cotton trado is no
exception to this condition. It seoms impossible
for any one to look at cotton oxcopt us forecast-
ing a further declino in tho price of an article
alroady selling at a very low price, and until some
positivo factors aro developed either by an in-
creased domand by English or American spinners
or poor crop advioos it seems likely that tho mar-
ket will remain quiot and steady within a limited
range of fluctuations.
Agreeably Disappointed,
London, May 13.—Tho mombors of tho stock
oxchango gathored on tho floor this morning ex-
pecting to hear tho failure of sovoral firms
officially anuouncod. They wore agreoably sur-
prised, however, when they found that only two
small failures had occurred, and that some of tho
firms that were supposed to bo in difficulty had
effected their settlements. This knowledge pro
duced much relief and added steadinoss to tho
market. A number of firms, including that of tho
Greek speculator montioned in yesterday's dis-
patches who woro said to havo been doeply in-
volved, recoivod sufficient assistance to carry
them ovor a settlement.
The Post's Review.
New York, May 13.-The Post says: Of tho
bank report littlo cau bo said, oxcopt for its re-
flection for the drain of money from tho west to
New York. Curiously onough, whilo intorior ox-
changos aro so univorsally in favor of this city
as to compol such inovemout of currency, it is tho
west whoso demand for monoy is at presont par-
ticularly koon, whereat iu New York so immense
have been tho sums reloanod by tho fortnight's
liquidation that money can scarcoly now bo
placed at all on call. Wore tho general situation
loss clouded borrower! in the mercantile com-
munity would bo tho movement's beuoficiaries.

bank failure out west all combined to depress
