New York, Juns 22, Pi Ices declined owing to good ralna in Texas, favorable weather in the Eaatern section and the report on the acreage by the Financial Chronicle putting the total at only .54 of o'ne per cent, less than that of a year go, whereas moat reports have atated that there would be a' decrease in the area of 6 to 7 1-2 per cent. Previous to this there bad been steady liquida tion by large Wall Street bull interests aod some scattered liquidation in other directions, The generality of the crop reports have been favorable from Tex as and an improvement has been voted also in the crop areas from the great iecti in east of the Mississippi river. On Wednesday, however, came the re port about the acreage already mention ed, putting it at a far higher total than moat people had expected and thia seemed to "cap the climax." It stated the total at 87,377,276 cres, against 37,581,022 last year. The government figures on last year's acreage, acrord ng to the corrected data, were 36,681 icrej. Liverpool prices have shown 'lie effects of that cheerful crop news. On ti e other band,' however, the spot .1 maud had continued unabated, both at home and abroad V . Liverpool's daily spot sales have been from 10,000 to 18.000 bates. It is nolle ed too. that on the decline some large Wall Street interests; long identified with the bull side, bot which recently sold out. have latterly been buying again. Some of the Waldorf-Astoria el ment also appear to have bought on i he break which has occurred during th- week. Large spot houses have, it b t ears, been buying at times on quite a liberal scale. Some of them are get ting reports from the South which make it very clear that the better grades of cotton are being beld with a teoacity which defies downward reactions from time to time in the market for futures. Many in the trade too. seriously ques tioned the correctness of reports put ting the decrease ip acreage at leas then one pr cent, and they are ot the op n- ion that the jfovernrnenreport on The subj ct which will be published July 3rd will make it very plain that the de crease la muefa greater or somewhere between five and seven percent. Thy also maintain that it is use less to expect any serious -or permanent decline in cotton as long as ths spot demand con tinues so active and persistent. Just now it is considered a esse of perfect weather versus a big demand with the spot demand Inclined to be the more potent factor. : ' Law Department funds Low, Washington, June 22.
