COTTON LETTER.

New York. April Hubbard Bros. 6
Co. say Liverpool surprised the trade
by advancing some 5 to 6 points and our
advices state the improvement was due
to American buying based on anticipated
lighter movement. AS Manchester hal
not bought for several days, spnners
are expected to buy freely during the next
week before the Easter holidays. The local
trade feel the market is entitled to sharp
reaction from the recent decline ana
while me advance has been largely due TO
manipulation of the summer deliveries,
they think the market will be carried
higher before the advance eliminates.
Outside trading has been limited in vol
ume as the crop advices are of such
character as to check buying, and the
strong statistical position prevents any
selling in anticipation of a decline.
New York, April murphy & Co. say:
Cotton advanced in Liverpool 3-32d for
spots with sales of 10000. Futures adj
vanced to on old, and to points on
new crop deliveries, and so closed. The
advance exceeded expectations, and was
attributed to buying by Manchester and
the continent, but our locals suspected
manipulation, hence this market opened
only points higher for old and points
up on new crop months, later neglected
owing to better weather conditions over
the belt. Small receipts at ports and IN
terror coupled with the advance in Liver
pool, stimulated speculation for out-of-
town account. which resulted la an adj
vance of IS points on old crops, and 0
points on new crops.

Price. Mccormick & Co.'s Letter.

New York, April 4.-Price. Mccormick
& Co., to-day issued the following circu-
lar:
We beg to call your attention to the fol-
lowing suggested figures in connection
with the absorption of cotton for a period
of three months between Dec. 30, 1898, and
March 81, 1900. The visible supply of
American cotton on Dec. 80, 1899, accord
ing to the Financial Chronicle was $780,
712. On March 81, the visible supply of
American cotton was 2,776 .523 Represent
ing a decrease during the three months of
sSi, 1S9 The total crop in sight on March
81, was S111,764. The crop in sight Dec
80, was 5.792, OPS making the net in sight
for the three months 2,319,939. This repre-
sents an absorption of cotton from the
visible supply for twelve weeks. after
allowing for the additional crop move
ment in the same period of 1924 12S or at
the rate of 267 600 bales weekly. There
will come in sight during the balance of
the season to Sept l. say probably not
more than 100000 which, added to the
visible supply of American cotton on
March 81, of 2T6,52 will give a total sup
ply of American cotton available for the
balance of the season of S,976,523.
Assuming that the absorption for the
remaining % weeks of the season will be
at the rate indicated above, namely 267,
OO0\bales weekly. the amount required
could be 6,l41,000 representing a deficit of
2l6i4 AT.
Should, however, the absorption be at
the rate of only 100000 bales weekly, the
amount required would be 100000 repre-
ssnting a deficit of nearly 100000
In either case it seems clear that the sit
uation will approach periIously near ex-
haustion before the end of the season, and
as we are reliably advised that English
spinners can pay six pence, and American
spinners 10 cents rer pound for cotton on
the basis of present prices for goods. 1t
seems to us not improbable that cotton
will sell at this figure before the price
will have any effect upon consumption.
