MARKET WAS
CAUTIOUS
Board-Room Traders Attempt?
ed to Bid up Prices.
FOUND STOCK FOR SALE
Spilling Out of Long Slock by Tired
Holders, While Not of Largo Volume,
Made Closing Weak at
About Lowost,
(Rr A??oclat?.l Pro??.?
NEW YORK, May 14.-The board room
traders in stocks thought this morning
tliat Uiey saw a brighter outlook and they
Marled to hid up prices In an exceedingly
cautious manner. They demonstrated to
their own satisfaction that stock was
for sale at the higher level, so lliev gave
up the attempt to lift tin.? market. When
they attempted to sell they found a very
Ughi demand and _ yielding markot. The
professional traders aro oulto nn cautious,
However, on ihe short sido its on the long
?Ide, as they lind it very difficult to buy
pack stocka at the lower levels. During
tho last hour to.day thero was a spilling
out of long stock by tired .holders grown
disgusted with the lethargy of the mar?
ket. This veiling movement was not o?
lingo volitine, but It was still In pro?
gress wbeh the market closed, making It
weak at about tho lowest. Tho rather
brighter view of things inken this morn?
ing was due principally to the tone of the
market review of the Iron trade bv a
lending authority In that trade. Tho
United States: Steel stocks nnd those of In?
dependent companies wore notably ilrm In
responso to this showing. But further
price concessions In pig Iron were report?
ed during the day, und the unstable con?
dition In the iron market had Its Influence
In the late break In prices.
This morning"? report of a possible ad
JtiHtmetit of the lal">or difficulties on the,
Oreat Northern system was a Cheering In?
fluence. Hut railroads In the ?Northwest
were notably weak afterward-, St. Paul,
in fact, led the late decline with a droii,
to 1% below last night. Northwestern lost
over a point and Its preferred stock, whioh
sold last February at 230. waa offered
down to 210 before Unding a purchaser
for a ?Ingle hundrod shares.
The announcement of ? ? export o?
tl.Otfi.GO. In gold to Argentina was an un?
favorable Influence, taken In connection
with other developments In the foreign ex?
change situation. Although the open
market rate of discount is declining in
London, the retention of the Bank of
England rale was a disappointment. The
unremitting activity in tho cotton specu?
lation etili continues to keep alive the
solicitude over the foreign exchange sit?
uation.
Tho bond market was quite broad, but
Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,{_0,
000. United Slates _'e, coupons, advanced
'/i per cent, on the last call,
The total sale.?? of Stocks for the day
were 390,800 shares.

What New York Afternoon Papers Say
of the Market.
(Special to Tbe Ti-ies-rjliipstc?j.)
NEW YORK, May H.-The Mall and Ex?
press say?: With an? extremely dull and
uninteresting stock market, and with
prices swaying to and fro frequently, the
lowest level being made In the late after?
noon, attention wae directed to other mat?
ters, such as the full statement of the
country's foreign trade in April, the Euro?
pean bank statements, the prospects ot
gold exports in the future and the cotton
epeculatlon. The List named is .having a'
detrimental Influence on the textile Indus?
tries of the country and the New York
dry goods trade.
? There 13 no doubt whatever that this
cotton ?peculation la holding the atqck
mnrket In check ag to the volume of busi?
ness, and also that it Is previ?tln_ a re
pponse ln prices that might othorwlso be
?natie to tno recent extraordinary .rnl?lc
?talements of the railways.
Speculative Wall Streot has a lurking
fenr that culmination of the bull move?
leu-? In the Southern staple, which may
como at any moment, may bring ln aome
troublo that incidentally might react on
Iho security markets.
The Commcrolal-Advertlser says: Con.
aitlona outside the market were, aa a rule,
favorable to-day. .-._,__,
Although the Bank of England direc?
tors still refused to reduce their discount
rate, tho money markets continued easy
?nd sterling exchange grew aomewhat
?asler, butting an end to any further gold
?xports for this week.
The strike of the Great Northern em?
ployes, which -yesterday seemed certain?
to-day appeared to afford considerable
hope of a compromise.
Since last Friday the banks have paid
over altogether more than ?l.800,000.
Prices on the Stock Exchange held up
fairly well during the early trading, but
they fell -harply when a determined raid
waa made against the market In the final
dealings. Liquidation was notable, but
the absence of support waa, as usual,
keenly felt.
The Evening Post aays: Events which
had more or less to do with the course
?f to-day's atock market?which was dull
and rather weak?were a further rise In
potion and ft further declino In foundry
[ron and announcement that another
?,???,??? gold would go to Buenos Ayres.
New York was little more than a spec?
tator In tho cotton movement, and has
little clue to Iho upshot of tll.e whole af?
fair. , ...
The lower Iron prices?to-day's reduc?
tion being only alight?perhapa derived
added interest from the remarkable ? re?
turns of the country's present output,
the May 1st figures, published this morn?
ing, showed the largest weekly produc?
tion In the country's ?history. April s en?
tire output ran 19,000 tons above that of
March, nnd 76,000 tons above any other
month on record. This has very obviouu
relation to the course of prices, and ex
?jlelns tho trade's expectation of fllmln
ihed Iron Imports, Stocks began with an
uncertain movement, gome rising fraction
?Hy, hut a further continuous ebbing oft
of values followed, A few stocks, notably
Bt, Paul, yielded rather sharply toward?
tho close.

iSdwIfi! to 7_e _l_i??-DUnat?_.V ?
NEW YORK, May 14.?The opening of
the stock market waa generally fairly
firm, as tho previous day's professional
pressure had not brought out stock In
quantities, while the labor and other news
waa generally regarded as favorable.
There was some disappointment that the
Bank of England had not reduced Its
rate, but this waa offset by the absence
of the expected gold exports.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Tho liquidation In Pennsylvania appear?
ed to havo about run Its course, and It
was thought that some of tlie Philadel?
phia houses were short of the atock. The
buying looked better than the selling.
COLORADO FUEL:
The manipulation ln Colorado Fuel was
resumed with conalderable success and
was materially helped by the kno?vledge
that most of the stock was closely hold,
and that consequently It would not be dif?
ficult to mark It up, There was no con?
firmation of the report of special pur?
chases by the Rockefeller interest.
THE FIRST HOUR:
In the first hour, in apite of the renew?
ed liquidation in Rock Island, the room
developed a distinctly more bullish tone,
and the floor traders were generally
operating for a rally. There was a little
commission house trading, but London
wae not doing much.
U. S. STEEL:
The appearance of better support ln
Unltod etntes Steel hod a generally fav?
orable Influence, nnd especially as Steel
officials did not give any countenance to
tho reports of a draining demand. It
was thought poesible, however, that for?
eign competition would Influence the mar?
ket In the near future.
THE GOULD ISSUES:
Tho simultaneous atrongth of a num?
ber of Oould lasues revived the old atory
of a holding company for the Gould
roads. The moat vigorous of the manipu?
lation seemed to be In Wabash preferred
and Missouri Pacific.
SUB-TREASURY DEBTOR:
The sub-Treasury was debtor at the
clearing-house 1954,929. Inquiry haa been
made at 'the sub-Treasury by two banks
for {500,000 each in eagles for shipment to
Argentina Saturday.
THE SECOND HOUR:
The market was inclined to shade off In
the second hour and traders took profits
in places, using the expected shipment of
gold to Argentina on Saturday as a bear
argument. It was recognized, however,
that there was no possibility of any ex?
ports to Europe before next Tuesday, even
If oxchange continued favorable, which
was by no means certain.
MANIPULATION SUSPENDED:
Thero was some reason to thlnlt-Oint
manipulation In Colorado Fuel and Iron
by the younger Rockefeller element has
been temporarily suspended.
QUIETLY ACCUMULATING ST. PAUL:
St? Paul noted as If It were being qulot
ly accumulated and held about the present
level to facilitate the operation. It was
checked whenever the traders tried to
take advantage of the buying to.bid It,
but there seemed to bo a good market
for any genuine selllrj;.
THE AFTERNOON TRADING:
The tone was very dull In the early
afternoon and a little heavy, although
there did hot seen? to be much long stooH
coming out except, l'i New York Central.
The aupport tn the Gould stocks seeniod
as good as any, but the Grangers held ?veil
Ir? view of the Improving labor outlook.
NEW YORK CENTRAL;
There was a poor market for long atock
In New York Central, and It took nearly.
all day to realize 1,000 shares for one tired
holder, and then only at concessions of
% on each hundrod. The expected new
capitalization Is unquestionably bringing
long stock to market.
WABASH AND MO. P. :
W. E. Can-Sir waa again credited with
some activity ln the Wabash issues arid
perhaps ln Missouri Paciiis.
THE CLOSE:
The close was heavjr and stocks were
generally lower. There was not much
stock pressing for sale, but nobody seem?
ed anxious to bid up, and the Waldorf
Astoria crowd had apparently a little to
sell.? Commission house business was no
factor at any time during the trading.
COTTON M-JRKETS.
NEW YORK. May 14.?The cotton mar?
ket opened firm with prices 3Q10 points
higher, and while the volume of transac?
tions was not so heavy as that reported
yesterday, rule tremendously active and
excited. The early strength was under a
renewal of the scramble of shorts to
cover, which this morning j'eceived en?
couragement from the sensational atrength
of spot cotton at Liverpool, where an ad?
vance of 6.10 In tho fair for middling was
reported with sales of 20,000 bales. At the
initial prices .hero realizing sales were
very heavy, but tho market advanced to
a lQvel net .?14 pointa above last night's
clbs'-ig : before any mate>rlal halt ln the
upward movement could be effected. Then
It appeared that the shorts, who for the
time being could bo forced, were pretty
thoroughly covered, and It was noted that
the prolonged advance was having tha
effect of attracting actual cotton to this
market from all directions. Including Eu?
rope. This, with the covering previously
effected, naturally eased the market for
the moment and the lout sold off to a
level net G points higher to 8 points lower.
Later, however, the?e was renewed ex?
citement under strong advices from South?
ern spot markets and smaller receipts
than expected, which brought about a
fresh scare of shorts, |nd the covering bo
came quite as active aa at any time re?
cently. .Under this prices were sharply
rallied, touching new high records for the
day and season. May sold up to 11.44, July
to U.00 and August to 10.7C. these prices
never having been surpassed during the
last ten years, so far as these particular
options aro concerned, though during the
famous January corner ln 1901 the spot
month sold up to 12.75. The weather to?
day was favorable, exports light, and
while the spot markets In this country
were strong, and In most Instances high?
er, small sales were reported. T.heso fac?
tors exerted little Influence, owing to the
speculative conditions now obtaining, how
evor, and the market at' the close was
very steady at within about 2<86 pointa of
the best of the day and unchanged to 17
points nlgher on all except June, which
was nominally 6 points lower. Total sales
of futures were estimated at 750,000 bales.
Cotton futures opened firm and closed
very steady.
