STOCK LETTER.
New York, May 19 .-'The stock mar
ket was only moderately active today
but a large part of the selling move
ment was under way. Scattered liqui
dation was in evidence but the pressure
was not severe enough to cause de
clines of much more than 1 to VA per
cent the average. The Whit Monday
holiday in London prevented arbitrage
operations and afforded no opportunity
to test the opinion of London on the
favorable local bank statement on Sat
urday. The uncertainty of the extent
to which the industrial contest in the
Pennsylvania coal fields may be car
ried sufficed to restrict dealings. In. the
afternoon the development of a small
opposition at the meeting of stock
holders of the United States Steel cor
poration was utilized (for pressure
against the. steel stocks, the declines in

numerous stocks made substantial re
coveries and in some instances estato

spicuous in the latter category was
Sugar which after showing a good de

COTTON LETTER.
New York, May 19.' In the cotton
market this morning Interest centered
on the news rami Texas indicating a
(big storm in the Southwest section and
as a result prices moved up a little.
Some private reports claiming serious
injury to growing cotln but the gen
eral trade disregarded thej? reports.
The fact that Liverpool was closed to
day restricted business and the feeling
was nervous and unsettled There was
plenty of rain at Fort Smith, Memphis,
Oklahoma, Vicksburg and little Rock.
Some were claiming too much rain at
these places and some were claiming
too little. Receipts were running mod
erate about 4000 for the ports against
11,000 last year. There was more or
less talk of poor dry goods trade. The
main thing against activity was the
holiday at Liverpool and without ad
vices from there people here were at
sea but nevertheless renewed disposi
tion was shown to liqsljye as the
morning advanced and at the same
time it was said that there was now
danger of the market being before long
oversold as it previously had been
overbought. A heavy estimate" for
Houston tomorrow Intensified the lower
tendency shown at times and the ab
sence of decisive news : of crops inquiry
in Texas, kept , the trade dn suspense
and the majority were inclined to take
the short side. One block of 10,000 July,
sold at .71 today. New York advanc
ed sharply 'before noon on reports from
New Orleans where bull leaders were
active. ..

ing ceremonies the remains of Major

the cortege moved slowly to the grave,
where the committment service was
read, closing with "Nearer, My God,
to Thee," by the quartet.
Taps were sounded, followed by a
salvo of artillery and the last sad rites
over the distinguished soldier had
been performed.
WAR BENEFIT TO SPAIN.
Loss of Her Colonies Proved Blessing
In Disguise.
New York, May 19. Spain's condi
tion cannot be accurately judged from
the pleasureable excitement of a pop
ular festival, when the streets of the
capital are thronged with visitors and
there is a brilliant display of equip
pages in the parks, cabjes the Madrid
correspondent of The Tribune. -
Without reference to adventitious
aid to the present ceremony, with its
Spanish vivacity and holiday humor,
the facts justify the conclusion that
the country is in a greatly improved
state and that the war involving the
loss ef the colonies has proved to be
a blessing in disguise.
The terrible drain upon the re
sources of the kingdom from military
expenditures has ceased and the pres
sure of taxation has been relaxed. The
law adopted a year ago requiring the
payment of import duties in gold has
operated well and is enabling the
treasury to create a gold reserve avail
able for resumption - purposes. While
nothing definite has yet been, accom
plished in the direction, of a contrac
tion of the currency; there has been
a material increase in the purchasing
power of the depreciated medium of
exchange, and there has been also a
great gain in the buoyancy of the pub
lic confidence.
Bankers and merchants are convinc
ed that a better era has opened for
Spanish Industry. ,
