Market In .Soft n iidTlcId to Assnult I of tin Ileum. NHW YORK. May 21.-Tho stork market was soft from the outset toJuy and yielded ' readily to tho assault of the bears. There was practically no buying demand of any j Importanco perceptible and prices lost I ground pretty steadily nil day. even on a light volume of trading. Lnto In tho ufter- noon Third Avenuo made a sudden advance l of nolnts and caused some uneasiness among mo room shorts, who bought moder ately to cover. Hut the rally was Inslgnlli cant outsldo of Metropolitan. Brooklyn Transit, Sugar and Tobacco. The sudden upward movement In Third Avenue was unexplained. e.tept by Inst week's move to sccuro the discharge of the receiver and the progress being made In the better ment of the system. The long outstanding short Interest In tho stock market was alined at by tho advance. Tho heaviness of the market during the day reflected the keen disappointment over tho rallure of last Week s encouraging de velopments to attract any outside demand. It was soon evident that London specially had been looked to hopefully to take up American stocks and tho early morning news from that quarter showing declines Tor the International stocks waB n disap pointment. The sales for London account wero not in large volume, but their effect was decisive and soon overcamn the strength In tho few specialties which at tempted to make heiidw.ly against the tide. It wa clear that HiM-culators who bought storks lato last week counted upon London taking them on their hands after that mar ked hud subsided from Its hysterical out burst over the relief of Mafeldng. Hut Loudon shared with the continental bourses a mood of depression. International houses In Wall street attributed this to disap pointment over tho denial of the report that President Kruger had made humble ad vances for peace am) Herlln advices re ported fears of an outbreak between Russia and Jiuian In tho New York market the grangers and the Puclllrs were the llrst to show acute signs of weakness, but ulllmiitely practically all of the active railroad stocks fell from 1 to 2 points below Satutday's close. Sugar rose at the opening on tho an nouncement of advances In the price of re fined, but It was sold In such volume nnd with yueli cnnlldence that It fell Into weak ness with the rest of the market. The weakness in the wheat and cotton markets was not without effect In Wall street. In tho money market tho supply of mercantile paper Is reported to bo decreasing owing to the setback to trade In various lines. The growing ease of money Is attributed to tho same cause. Hear operators profess uneasiness over the likelihood that freight rates will not hold In face of the decreasing tralllo of railroads. The grain tralllc of the western lines has fallen to the lowest of the year, and Is tlll below last year's levol. Westbound merchandise tralllc Is re ported to bo sulllclent to maintain earnings ns yet above last year, but current earn ings, In spite of the higher rates In force, aro only slightly above last year. Iloncls wero murh better sustained rela tively than stocks, though there were weak spoU In the list. The accumulation of Idle funds seeking Investment Is making somo slight Impression on the bond mnrket. Total sales, par value. $2,0),noO.

NHW YORK, May 21 A heavy business was transacted In cotton futures today, re sulting from a decision to liquidate, follow ing weak cables from the Liverpool markot. which private advices reported to bo In a state of collapse. The market here opened 2f.1 points lower and further declined lift 20 points. Liquidation of long accounts was tho feature. Hxcept for some conservative buying on the reaction theory the shorts were tho best buyers. A few good people have been buying In a moderate way on I ho belief that the market has been oversold and Is entitled to n considerable reaction. Sentiment In tho main, however, keeps bearish on the brilliant character of the crop accounts and the sagging tendency of southern spot markets. Southerners con tinue to sell the new crop positions and send bearish advices regarding the crop out look. Prlvato advices say there Is no specu lation In cotton nt Lherpool, while the spot demand abroad Is slow, following a poor outlook for trado and consumption. Under heavy general selling August dropped to $S.7ti lato In the day, but rallied slightly near rho closo on profit taking, being llnally steady at a net decllno of 7fi20 points. LIVHRPOOI..

Con ditions were rather unfavorable for the sellers In that Chicago was reported a flat 10c lower and buyers wero anticipating a good run for tho week. In consequence the market nt this point wns very slow to open nnd It was a good deul 011 the drag from start to finish. Prices In a good many cases wero not over 5c lower, but the gen eral market would hove to be quoted 51il0c lower than last week. In spite of the slow movement practically everything was sold and weighed up In good season. Tho market on cows and heifers wns In Just about tho samo condition ns beef steers. Huyers seemed to feel that they bad bon paying pretty stiff prices for cow stuff and wherever they could they bought It 5c and even 10c lower. The most Important ch'Uigo of the day was In connection with slock cattle. The rece'its of that kind of cattle were the largest experienced In a long time, twenty tlvo cars being reported on sale. For some time thero has been a. feeling that stock cattle were way too high for this season of tho your, but tho receipts have been so light, while thero has been considerable Inquiry from thu country, that It has been im:6?lhIo for buyers to get tho market down. This morning when they saw the larger receipts they seemed lo come to their senses and they pioceeded lo take off 15ft 25c from last week's prices wherever pos sible. As a matter of course some sales did not show that much decline, but that was what buyers aimed to take oft. The talk Is that the milrket will go still lower, some sny $1.00 lower. In the next thirty to sixty days. Representative sales: RRHF STHHRS. No. Av. Pr No. Av. Pr 4 COT. $3 7.1 37 1190 4 50 1 C70 3 71 14 1300 f SO 21 1111 4 2.1 r.o 1114 1 mi .
