Cotton Futures.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The MeSSengerO
New York, April 2S.-Speculation is en-.
sering the cotton market and the trading
today was lively and the market strong.
The good spot business in Liverpool con-
tinues, and although futures there hest
Iated yesterday while our market was
closed. they advanced sharply today.
The opening here was %erratic. Some
months were 5 points down, while others
were 5 points up. There was no sign of
aggressive selling of the months of this
crop and they were in great demand all
ever. under the influence of the continued
better reports from the south, were sold
unhesitatingly and participated but
slightly in the strength of the market.
Delivery notices of May circulated freely,
out had no depressing effect. Heavy buy
ing by one house was the feature of the
day. August opened at 1888, advanced to
AS, receded to TAO. again advanced to
Lf9 and closed at IA to 7.4S. with the
tone of the market steady. Rumors are
current that the Liverpool and New Or
lean markets are manipulated in favor of
the bull interest, but there is no manipu-
iation here. and while reactions will occur
we expect cotton to sell higher on its
merits. & co.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, April 2S.-There was intense
excitement on the resumption of business
owing yesterdays holiday. The early
transactions were upon a very heavy
scale. Up to noon the record showed
sales of 200, 900 bales, with trading IN 500
to 1000 bales lots. quite common. The
marke. had an irregular opening. The
bases of the early improvement was the
strong attitude of the Liverpool market,
while our market was closed yesterday
and the continued strength of the English
market today. Private cables assert that
English spinners are we'll supplied with
orders for goods, while in need of raw
cotton supplies and that English senti-
ment regarding the outlook remains quite
bullish on the theory of confined peaceful
tendencies in foreign political circles. At
the best point today the market showed a
net rise of 8 to Is points and finished
steady in tone at a net advance. of 10 to
II points ON near positions and l to 7
points on far months.

To Report Tariff Bill to Committee
N

Washington, April 2s.-The republic
IAN subcommittee OF the senate
finance committee, which is preparing
the tariff bill, decided definitely today
not to attempt to report the bill to the
full committee before next Monday.
The democratic members Of the COM
mitee, when the bill Is presented, will
ask for sufficient time to examine the
bill in detail, with the view Of suggest
ing any amendments they may con-
slider it possible to have accepted by
the committee. They expect TO make
this examination apart from the repub-
Leans and to sit with them only when
a conference is necessary. Amend
ments which they know will have no
chance of being accepted will be re-
served for presentation in the senate
The democrats insist hat they have
no purpose OF placing distractions in
the way Of the orderly disposition OF
the bill or Of delaying it's passage be-
yond the time necessary to present
their views. but insist that they must
have time for a thorough examination.

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION.
To Be Given the Tariff Bill by the Demo-.
Gratis of the Senate Finance Committee
before it is Reported to the Seuate.

Washington, April 27.-The democrat
ic members of the senate finance COM
mittee today followed up their refusal
of yesterday to allow the tariff bill to
be reported direct to the senate with
the announcement that they would eX-
pect to be given opportunity for a thor
ough examination of all the schedules
Of the bill as amended before it is re-
ported to the senate. They have al
ready employed one xpert and will
employ others to take I'D the bill in
their behalf as soon as it is presented
anime the bill sufficiently to permit it
to go to the senate in about two weeks
time after they receive it.
There has been some talk among the
democratic senator's of granting hear
ings by the full committee, but this
proposition does not appear to have met
with general favor. The democratic
members Of the committee fear that
insiStence upon this course would be
construed into a determination to delay
the bill for the sake of delav. which
they insist is no part Of their pro-
gramme.
The decision of the democratic mem
bers may have the effect Of causing a
~postpOnement of the presentation of
the bill beyond Thursday. Some of the
republican committeeman now say that
they may not conclude their work be-
fore going into the full committee.
They are still working with the hope
Of presenting the bill Thursday, but
are less hopeful than formerly.
The republicans think they discover
in the present attitude of their demo-
cratic colleagues a disposition to delay
h passage Of the bill, which they had
not previously counted upon and are
making their preparations for a long
siege in the senate, as we'll as il COM
mittee. Some of them express the fear
that the bill will not become a law be-
fore the first Of August.
