New York Cotton Market.
DULLNESS IN COTTON.
Business Small and the Low Prices
Unchanged.


IReceived daily by G. T. Iiavenner, banker and

New York, April 1l.-No striking
changes in the cotton market are likely
at present, so far as it may be influenced
by crop conditions. Liverpool may infuse
some activity here The Lancashire trade
is good. The other side still persists in
the belief that the present crop will en-
ceed the last and attaches no importance
to the superabundance of low grades
claimed by the bull clique. AS for the
lateness of the crop now being planted, a
Liverpool writer calls attention to the
fact that the later crops have been big
crops and that all the chances after pro-
longed bad weather will be good.
New York was two points higher in the
morning. Liverpool was one-half point
higher for futures, and unchanged for
spots, with 10000 sales. The New York
market dragged without the slightest fea-
ture excepting little selling of the late
months by Liverpool. 1t was the dullest
in months.
The interior receipts for the half week
We're %, 500 as against $500. Port receipts
for the day were $500, against 13.400 last
year Fair weather was indicated for to-
morrow The market closed 1@2 points
advanced.

Pacific Mail was one of the features OF
the day. The stock opened at 30 Ia and
closed at 81 3-4, the two figures being also
the low and high for the day. The buying
of the stock was at all times good, and at
some periods of the day there was much
the look about it of accumulation prepar-
atory TO quick bulge The tip is out that
such a movement is to be made In the near
future, but everything in the condition and
prospects of the company warrants the be-
lief that much higher prices will be
reached with or without manipulation.

CONFIDENCE IN THE
MARKET RESTORED
Money Easier and the General
Condition Improved.
Sharp Advances in Which Indus
trials and Specialties Share.
Manhattan and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Again Attract specu-
IntOrs.

New York April lit was not al
together easy to assign definite reasons for
the advance in today's stock market. The
money market, to be sure, was decidedly
easier but such an outcome in that quar-
ter has been clearly foreshadowed for sew
eral days, and it is not the speculative
habit to await the upshot of pending de-
velopments in stock market operations.
There was, it is true, disposition to re-
fer the strength of the market to the
showing made in the Governments report
on the condition of the winter wheat crop
which was more favorable than had been
anticipated, although the percentage was
the smallest with two exceptions Of any
similar period in ten years 1t was per-
haps significant that the wheat market ad-
vaIced Notwithstanding the encouraging
Government crop estimates. 1t may be
further set forth in connection with the
advance in prices that the st. Pauls state
ment for the first week of March was
highly encouraging and that sterling ex
change declined further. 1t is believed that
the arrangements for the remittance of the
Spanish indemnity have been concluded,
and that with today's formal ratification
of the Peace Treaty nothing remains to
be done beyond the payment of the s20,
100000 to the representative of the Span
ish Government.
The days advance was quite general and
it may be noted that the much reviled in
dustriais and specialties participated fully
in the movement. Last weeks lesson as
regarded these stocks seemed to be wholly
forgotten, judging from the movements
that took place in Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
Manhattan Railway, the Federal Steel
stocks, American Steel and Wire, and Con-
tinental Tobacco. There was no news
whatever bearing upon these stocks. but
there was no further talk of last weeks
bugbear-discriminat by money lend
ers. There was apparently no change what
ever in the attitude of the latter as re-
CARDS these stocks, but the speculation in
the fancy shares was resumed with all the
enthusiasm of a fortnight ago.
The standard issues were all very strong
and the dealings in these shares were by
no means overshadowed by those in the in
dustrial division. There were pronounced
Northern Pacific. and New York Central
London was small buyer on balance of
the international stocks
The anthracite coal shares were notice
ably strong also. as were Southern Rail-
way preferred and Missouri Pacific. The
dealings in the stock market disclosed the
fact that the short account was of unsus-
pected proportions and further that the
manipulation Of the fancy stocks had been
resumed with all the confidence that was
present early in the month. The upshot
Of the present craze may be awaited with
interest. The market closed strong and
active and at the best prices of the day.

well during the day also. and the record
of Peoples Gas was almost as good as that
of Brooklyn. The spurt was made in all
these securities in the last hour although
they had been strong during the entire
day. One OF the stories circulated regard
ing the gas company was that it intends to
advance the dividend to I per cent, but
no confirmation of this could be had. Mr..
Flower is said to have replied to a ques-
tion relating to the dividend that the COM
pany is abundantly able to pay per
cent. However, the adjournment of the
Illinois Legislature without any action
adverse to the company is sufficient good
news to account for much better ad

A BIG DEAL AT NASHVILLE.
Street Railways and Light Plants

Baltimore, April 1.-THE deal for the
purchase of the Nashville Street Railway

the acquisition OF the other street rail-
way properties and gas companies. The
Baltimore Trust and Guarantee Company
which is financing the big deal is now COM
pleting the details of the transaction. That
company is buying in the stocks, and as
soon as they are delivered the new company

bonds though the total mortgage will be
for $4,000 900. Bonds to the amount Of
81, ,500, 900 will be retained in the treasury

nies absorbed as they mature. There will
also be an issue OF stock, though the

The tone of the New York stock market
yesterday was by far the best that has
prevailed since the raid of last Friday.
There was an almost continuous advance
in prices in all parts of the list and in
few stocks the movement was rapid and
even bordering on the sensational. The
close was at the highest figures for the
day and the opening at the lowest, SO that
the record of gains made is an excellent
one. The cause of the change of senti-
ment may be ascribed to two matters, the
lowering of the money rate and a crop
report that was poor but not as bad as had
been expected. 1t is useless to predict
what the outcome of the advance Will be
today and for the remainder of the week
but 1t is certain that the sentiment of
the public and of the room traders. as
well. has undergone a change, and is now
much more bullish than ii was yesterday
morning. 1t is perhaps most probable
that there will be gradually advancing
market for the remainder of the week
with recessions from time to time when
small spectators take their profits and
holdovers from before the slump get their
money back. 1t is said that Mr.. Flower
was heavy buyer of his specalties yes
terday afternoon, and that he talks bull
lishly of the prospects for the remainder
of the week. The opening this morning
should be at a good advance over the close
at any rate, owing to the excellent buying
at the close. The money rate was at one
time in the afternoon as low as 2 per
cent.
Brooklyn has again forged 10 the front
as the leader OF the resumption of the
advance. The stock was picked up all
day until the last hour, and then shortly
after o'clock the price began 10 advance
rapidly. The opening in the morning was
at ll6 IA, and the top figure reached was
125 1-2, or a little better than nine points
advance The close was fraction below
the top. The big blocks of stock that
were bought at the high prices at the
close showed that the public has only
been waiting for II to move before buying
1t heavily. II seems probable that the
advance will be continued today. AS TO
the future OF the stock during the COM
ing three or four months, the shrewdest
people in the street are wholly bullish.
The earnings of the company during the
summer season will be enormous.

The talk of Manhattan is uniformly bull
ish. One of the houses nearest to Mr..
Flower advised its customers TO buy the
stock yesterday for an immediate advance
and the record of the hour of the

rect up to that time. Mr.. White, of this
city, is again buying the stock in consid-
erable blocks, and predicting 140 for it in
the near future. The top price reached
by it yesterday, 119 3-S was made at the
close which seems to insure a good OPEN
ing. The advance for the day was more
than 3 points.
