Liverpool cotton cables were disappointing and the
woa her WIS favorable west of the Mississippi River,
though rainy in some sections east of that river.
The Missouri River is very high, and fifty miles be-
leveos. Still the crop conditions in the main are
more favorable than a while ago, and this fact liz not
without its influence. though very few believe that
the next crop will be as large as the last two. The
market IL really ovcrshadOwed by the May notices.
One hrm, which it was rumored would stop a good
deal of May cotton made this encouragement today
he notice day for delivery on May contracts. Alarga
number will be issued before the market opens on
that day. We desire that you have your contracts
either liquidated or transferred to the later months
to-day or tomorrow. Every interest in long Mays
must be closed mp i'll any event before the close of
the market to. morrow." Some say that no improve
ment in prices is probable until after the notices are
out OF the way.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MONDAY, April "a.

MONDAY. April "a.
The stock market to-day was very irregular
and was a great disappointment to the traders
who bought the list on the favorable bank
statement Of Saturday. There was no trouble
about money. which was available at low rates
throughout the day. but the market was to an
extent constantly disturbed by the rumors
which were circulated that Germany had de-
manded a formal apology for the words which
Capt. Coghlan used here last week in describ-
ing the situation in Manila Bay after the bat
tie. These rumors we're not confirmed. but
they left the market In a nervous state. from
which II had not emerged at the close. Lon
don was a seller OF the international stocks
throughout the day. but 1t was not because OF
any uneasiness as to our foreign relations.
Prices had risen in some specialties to a level
which invited sales to take profits. particularly
In Norfolk and Western common and Denver
and Rio GranGe common. At the opening the
entire market was strong. as there was
an accumulation OF buying orders over
Sunday in Federal Steel. American Steel
and Wire. Continental Tobacco and some other
Industrial specialties. The strength lasted
for about an hour. and then on the free sales
OF the traders to take profits prices ran of
steadily to the close Of the session. when short
selling OF the list was encouraged by the
apathy OF the public and the signs OF a bearish
aJtltuue Ill Jne bTdnkeI stoSho u"ohs viz
larger traders. A number OF stocks recorded
wide fluctuations. Anaconda rose sharply on
the report that a controlling interest had been
secured by the Standard Oil people through
the exercise OF options recently given. 1t re-
acted near the close. In Sugar Refining more
interest was also displayed early In the day.
when the price rose largely on the revival OF
stories OF a settlement Of the trade warfare
which have 80 often done duty before. The
stock weakened materially later in the session
In sympathy with the balance Of the market.
In fact. at the close there were few groups OF
stocks that did not show losses averaging
about a point from the days best figures.
There was every indication that the short in
terest had been increased.
