ofncc Of The Post,


Houston. THURSDAY Apri ~.
Today's session in the cotton markets was
extremely dull and practically featureless.
There vas very small amount Of new bust
ness done. most of tho trade seemingly con-
centrating its enerEies toward evening up
over the holidays which viii intervene be-
tween today's close and the commencement OF
business next Monday morning
Early Liverpool cables were quite favorable
and the higher prices which were reflected
therein were maintained until the end Of the
session. the close being ? to i-6id higher on
futures and 1-32d hiTher on spots. The spot
market was very ouiet. however. and at the
advanced scale only 1000 bales were sold. The
demand for spots from this source seems to
show no signs of Improvement and the bears
are usins this fact as an argument to the
effect that prices here should 30 lower
The activity on the other side affected the
American markets around the onening and for
a short time prices were above the last ones
quoted Yesterday but. as has already been
mentioned. there was very title business done
and in consequence OF lack OF support
small amount OF strength was Lost. The range
oi fluctuations was quite narrow however.
and a sort OF holiday feeling seemed to be
In evidence everywhere At the close New
York was shown to be to points up on
May and some OF the other near months.
while decline OF to points was scored on
come Of the distant positions New Orleans
was in practically the same condition, the
closing prices there being Q up 10 down.
Spots were generally quiet aud steady with
but ittle business reported from any OF the
more important points Prices In most OF the
markets were unchanged but Houston and
New Orleans scored an advance OF l-isc each.
Houston selling only Is bales at the higher
scale
The movement was decidedly builish all
around the receipts IN the Interior and at the
ports being quite lgaht. as wsre the estimates
for tomorrow. The bulls generally speak
Ing. are Of the opinion that this condition OF
affairs viii result in higher prices while
on the other hand. the bears say that in
view oil the lack OF activity in England. the
absence OF any material demand for spots and
the fact that the CROP and Weather news is
generally more favorable than has been the
casa for several days past. they do not see
how the present scale OF values can be main
ielned, Il seems likely. however that the
situation viii not be materially changed until
some OF the features named show some fur
Their development. In any event three days
must necessarily pass before either side viii
DO able 10 do anything further than make
plans to be worked on after the holidays,
Hosstons receipts for the day were 423
balss. against 1887 last year and os2 three
years ago white for tomorrow the estimate
ia 800 to 600 as compared with 1919 and
SSs Tho New Orleans estimate is 1900 to
900, sGainst 44ss and 1883.

A New Depot.

1t now seems to be settled that
ArdmOre will have a new Santa Fe
passenger depot in the near fut-
ure. 1t is certainly badly needed
and should have been built some
time ago. The company's business
here has fully justified the extend
ing of courtesies and the providing
of accommodations for its patrons,
but thus far neither the one nor

proposed plans provide for a two
story brick building and its occu-
paney is promised by the first of
the wear.
