THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS,. THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1892.
STOCKS ARE ALL HIGHER.
THE BEAES CEASE HAMMERING AT
THE MARKET.
Reported Decreased Acreags in Cotton
Causes an Advance—Awaiting the
Government Eeport.
New Yobk, May 4.—[Special.]—a party of
foreign capitalists are on a tour over the Atch-
ison road and sending to Europe favorable re-
ports of their observations.
It was rumored that Atchison had full in-
come interest in hand.
Stocks had a more natural market. London
bought and the bear hammering ceased. The
average advance was three-quarters.
Bonds firm. Atchison fours, ; incomes,
65)tf; shares, 3o)£. Texas and Pacific firsts,
85. Fort Worths, 102. Aransas Pass '85s, 04.
Kansas and Texas fours, 813^ 5 seconds, 603*.
International firsts, ex-coupon, 109#.
Sterling dull and easier. Documents, $4 8G;
choice acceptances, $4 86X» baukers demand
$4 88; cables, $4 88#.
Silver easier. Sales, 75,000 ounces, bars, at
about 87}£.
Coffee active. June 5 points lower, May 10
points, balance unchanged.
Cotton advanced to 7.46c for August, but de-
clined to 7.39c. The advance was on the Liv-
erpool news, a reported 25 per cent decreased
acreage all through South Carolina and light
offerings. The decline was on realizing. There
is probably very little short interest here, the
market being chiefly long, including a large
outside representation. Sales: May 2000 bales,
June 12,600, July 11,200, August 02,100, Sep-
tember 6900.
Wool pretty firm, chiefly on small supplies.
Manufacturers purchase sparingly.
R. Q. Lowe sailed on the City of Paris to-
day.
M. Lothrop of Texas, J. Slayden and Miss
Wells of San Antonio, and M. S. Howe of
Houston are here.
Atwood Violett & Co.'s Circular.
.New Oht.kans, La., May 4.—[Special.]—
Atwood Violett <fe Co. say: Futures: The
exports from this country to all of Europe at
the end of March were 11,000 bales, and at the
end of April were only 6600 bales more than
last year, and yet Ellison in his circular of
April 19 says that not only must America ex-
port from April 1 as much as last year from
that time to October 1, which amount was
1,332,000,but that we must give Europe 223,000
more. In other words we must exporc 2,217,-
000 bales more cotton from May 1 to October
U
1 next than were exported last year, otherwit
we will have to carry this excess ourselvdP
into the new crop. At least his report is
equivalent to that.
A further improvement to-day in Liverpool
of 1 to2-04d was followed here by an advance
of 8 points, 6 of which were lost by the clos-
ing.
Our crop advices to-day from reliable
sources, aro that between Charlotte and At-
lanta, east and west of the Atlantic line, no
rain is needed, warm weather continues and
prospects as good as they can be at present,
and early planting coming up. While Texas
accounts say from Sherman to Brenham they
are very favorable, except a little too much
rain at Sherman and not enough at Brenham.
Port receipts to-day were 4700 against 5200
last year. The estimate here for to-morrow
is 1200, against the same last year, and 5800 at
all ports last year. Both sides seem to.be
awaiting the bureau report. They will report
the acreage planted to May 1, without giving
any indication, we understand, as to what
the total acreage will be. The advance of 1-16
cent oii spots at Liverpool, with sales of 6000
bales, i3 understood by many to mean that
spots there are very strongly held. The price
of the new crop months are beginning to
attract attention. Whether they are a purchase
or a sale depends largely upon the planting
and growing conditions of this month. So
far as the acreage is concerned we think it
will be proven in the end that the cotton world
will now regulate their purchases and sales
upon the basis of about 12 to 15 per cent de-
crease in acreage and with that settled the
course of the market will follow good or bad
news concerning the crop.
Spots closed firm, sales 1550 bales, includ-
ing 800 sold yesterday after hours. Quota-
tions are unchanged.
F. 0. B.—Sales 260 bales; deihand very
light. Little or nothing doing, as interior
sellers are unwilling to let go except at full
prioea. Medium grades most in request.
I, E. Glenny & Co.'s Circular.
New Obleans, La., May 4.—[Special.]—I.
E. Glenny <fc Co. say: Although spot Bales in
Liverpool wore small, only 6000 bales, prices
were advanced l-6d and firm, doubtless in con-
sequence of the strength of futures, which
closed 2-04 to3-64d higher and cables were more
encouraging, generally looking to an early
settlement of the strike, but nothing positive
has been arranged. Our cable said there
would be a meeting between masters and men
to-morrow, result uncertain.
Our market opened steady at four points
advance and improved still further at one
time to-day, being nine points above yester-
day's figures, declining about two points. We
remained steady until near the close of busi-
ness, when a few more points were lost, the
closing being three points higher than yes-
day.
Business is very dull and transacting limited
and until some settlement of the Manchester
difficulties is arrived at it is likely to con-
tinue so.
The semi-weekly movement at the interior
towns is less than last week and year before
and the receipts at all ports to-day are less
than 500 bales. The closing quotations for
August was 7.08c to 7.09c.
HtTbbard, Price & Co.'® Circular.
New York, MayJ 4.—[Special.]—Hubbard,
Price A Co. eay: The Liverpool market this
morning was 2-64@3-64 better for futures. In
the New York market, notwithstanding the
more favorable advices from abroad, the
opening prices were slightly below last night's
figures. A gradual recovery, however, set in
and by 11.30 an advance of from 5 to 6 points
had been established. This was followed by
a recession by 12.30 to 7.41c for August. The
improvement seems to have been the result of
a covering of the short interest and the reac-
tion that followod is attributable to realizing
sales on the part of the weaker and more
timid long interest.
During the afternoon an easier feeling con-
tinued to prevail, resulting in a loss of nearly
the whole of the earlier improvement. Final
{>rices were barely steady about 1 point below
ast evening's figures.
For the present the market seems to have
discounted the unfavorable crop news and
eontinuous buying is required to support it.
The Post's Review.
New Yobk, May 4.—[Special.]—The Post
says: The stagnation of capital and the para-
lysis of aggressive enterprise, now equally ap-
parent in every nation, are a fresh illustration
of the world's community of industrial rest.
Six months ago optimists were predicting
that our own extraordinary good luck in 1891's
harvest would cut us wholly loose from Euro-
pean embarrassments. Probably there was no
financial critic who did not in a measure
share this belief. In the American security
market the belief has been partly justified;
no where else.
The actual meaning of the situation undoubt-
edly is that the industrial world is waiting for
Europe's recovery from the shock of 1890 and
the ureaent uneventful dullness aad quia* are
perhaps the best assurance that the process of
recovery is at work. The era of dullness may
be long; for experiment by which the worst
was staved off in 1890 was new and was de-
signed to avert immediate crisis by distribut-
ing its bad effects over a long space of time.
But the quiet which now prevails in European
finance is a sign that this work is gradually
approaching its end.
Doubts the Statement.
Hearke, Tex., May 3.—To The News: I
beg to call your attention to correct a state-
ment published in your Sunday's issue from
your correspondents, Atwood & Violet, as
copied from Bradstreet, in which they say:
"There is a tendency to decrease 20 to 25 per
cent in acreage, but there is plenty of time
yet for the planter to change his mind." This
I hold is not true for the greater part of the
cotton district. Whatever reduction there has
been in cotton acreage the land has not been
abandoned or "turned out," but lias been
planted in corn, oats, and a variety of grasses,
and the planter can not now change his mind
unless he plows up a growing crop. What-
ever reduction there has been in the cotton
acreage is now a fixed fact, unless perhaps in
some small sections where overflow drowns
out other crops, then cotton would likely be
planted. Yours truly, Farmer.

COMMERCIAL.
News Office, May 4.—Locally the situation is
unchangod. The demand is very poor and the
movement just sufficient to meet the consump-
tive demand. The fanners are all busy and in-
terior merchants are buying in limited quan*
tities.
The spot cotton markets were firm and steady
to-day. Liverpool advanced prices l-16d and
closed firm. Savannah and Boston each ad-
vanced l-16c. This market put up all grades l-16c
and closed firm with sales of 423 bales.
Liverpool opened quiet but steady at yester-
day's prices, gained 2 points and ruled quiet,
advanced again and closed quiet but steady and
2 to 3 points higher.
New York opened quiet but steady and slightly
below yesterday's prices, gained about 3 points
and ruled barely steady, declined slightly and
closed barely steady and at about yesterday's
figures.
New Orleans opened steady and 3 points higher,
gained 1 to 2 points and ruled steady^ doclined
about 2 points and closed quiet but steady and 2
to 3 points over yesterday's figures.

PRODUCE MARKETS.
CHICAGO.
Chicago, 111., May 4.—There was not much
life in the wheat market to-day. Trade was nar-
row and largely professional, and while there was
a good deal of bull news the market was ex-
tremely doll most of the day, and while holding
was rather firm it did not show any upward im-
pulse.
Crop news still favored friends of wheat.
Cables were firm and some advances were re-
corded, while nearly all domestic markets were
somewhat higher. All this gave the market a
rather firm 6tart, the shorts being good buyers.
During the last hour trade was dull and the close
was easy at the lowest price of the lay.
Corn showed decided strength; weather indica-
tions pointing to delay in planting, if not serious
reduction in acreage. Cables were also better.
Oats—Quiot and rather firm, in sympathy with
corn.
Hog products quiet and steady.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
New York, May 4.—The stock market to-day
gave no indication of getting out of the rut of
dullness and practical stagnation into which it
has fallen, and while there was some show of
animation in the early dealings, the later trading
was marked by even more intense dullness than
has been seen at any time since the first of the
year. A rather firmer temper prevailed, however,
due for the most part to arbitrary purchases be-
tween this market and those of London and
Philadelphia.
Reading. Atchison, Now England and St. Paul
occupied the most prominent position in point of
activity, but in neither were the movements of
pecial importance.
The features of the day were continued pres-
sure upon Northern Pacific and subsequent re-
covery with strength developed in Missouri Pa-
cific on light transactions and udvancos j^in
Cordage and Northwestern preferred.
The close was quiet and firm at or about the
best prices of the day.
The strength of the bond list was most encour-
aging.
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds neglected.
