mercurial industrial gave evidence dur
ing the latter part of the day or being
over sold and after having fallen nearly
eight points recovered more than hall
of the decline. The room traders VINO
had sold the list on the strength OF the
weakness in Sugar were driven TO cover
by this rally, and aggressive strength
developed at q few other points. AS
consequence the closing was active anu

low point of the day but showing net de-
clines for the majority of stocks Inc
weakness of Sugar in the morning caused
signs of lively sympathy at other points
in the Industrial list. Peoples Gas, the
Tobacco stocks and a number of the iron
and Steel stocks fell away easily from
one to three points. The strength mani
tested by the New York traction stocks
served as an offset to this, the railroad
list maintaining condition resembling
suspended animation. Large inroads upon
the Pacific stocks, Pennsylvania and the
Changers turned the tide toward depres-
sion until aggressive strength developed
in Missouri Pacific. This stock moved
up to 541s in the late transactions on
heavy buying and Brooklyn Rapid Transit
rose buoyantly to 1919 with stimulating
effect on the general list Very heavy
selling orders were attributed to Chicago
account and a sharp fall in New York ex-
change at Chicago to 35c discount may
have been due to this cause. The move
ment in the Specialties was due to indi-
vidual causes. The street was full of
rumors all day rgarding Sugar and haV-
ing to do with the rise in price of raw
sugars. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was ma
nipulated by pool with a preliminary tip
for an advance.
London showed disposition to buy
stocks here in spite of the stiffness of
the London money market on the taking
up of another installment of the war
loan, but last weeks large increase in
loans here is generally attributed to large
borrowings for London account to carry
stocks here. Although the stock market
weakened on the banks showing. the
money market failed to show any effect
of the decrease in resources of the banks.

ume and prices were well held. Total

New York, April 9.-The week opens
without change in the general condition
of the market. Demand has been indif-
ferent in all directions for both staple
and fancy cottons. Sellers are not press
ing goods On the market and prices are
without material change. Print cloths
idle and only limited demand for print
cloth yarn goods of any kind. No change
in prices. White goods are scarce
throughout. Buyers in the market for
spring season of 1901.
New York, April 9.-The short interest
in cotton received a scare this morning
in reports OF floods in Central Texas
which were said to be overdrawn and
sensational. But as cable accounts were
considerably better than expected, the
general trend of prices was upward. The
first call resulted in an advance of two
TO seven points, which was increased by
later business to a gain of six to nine
points. There was some hurried buying
to cover short contracts, and, for the
time there were indications of broaden
ing speculation. Still later, however, the
latter feature disappeared and prices gave
way to the extent of five to six points
from the top figures. The easier ruling
was accelerated by selling on the theory
that floods at this time of the season
in Central Texas would be more helpful
than harmful through enrichment of the
soil in advance of seeding. Crop &C
counts were fairly good, considering the
cotton belt as whole. In the afternoon
covering by room traders, with sellers
scarce, was a feature. The market closed
steady at a net advance of three, TO nine
points
