atoms were confined to a range of points
| and resulted in practically no change
| from last Saturdays closing figures. LiV-
Y this morning sent a small adj

| our market opened points higher, May
closing on the call at 5.57c. Immediately
| after the opening the absolute dearth
! of orders for either side of the account
became apparent, and the trading was
| confined almost entirely to the profess

/ narrow range during the session and
| closed steady, with 5.5zc bid for May. The
/ situation the price and and the arguments
/ as 10 the future course of the market
/ remain unchanged. Both public and prf-
! vate advices from the south undoubtedly

/ a favorable decrease in the use of fertil-
izers, but Spectators and investors here,

| cline, that the movement is seriously re-
| tarded by the cold and snow, and that the
/ comparative shrnkage in receipts is due
to that and not to any unusually rapid
| marketing of the crop. The friends of
cotton. however, while admitting that the
| weather may have influenced the volume
of receipts somewhat, contend that the
| great rush of cotton is over, and think
/ that we shall not see the proportional
/ increase in receipts after the effects of
| the cold snap have passed on. While the
| bulls seem to be paying their hope, a re-
| markable feature of the market during
| the week has been the evident compla-
| cency with which the more thoughtful
| bulls regard the prolonging of the great
J depression in cotton. many of them to
