STOCKS AND bonds.

New York. April THE speculative en-
thusiasm for an advance in prices of Sc
curttbes received a decided shock in the
showing made by the clearing house banks
i'm their weekly statement to-day. The
buying demand fell away and stocks came
IN on the market at declining prices.
The most important part of the earlier
gains were wiped out, and the market
closed unsettled and irregular, prices NOV
ing in contrary directions in different
parts of the list, and net changes being
mixed The short session thus ended be-
can auspiciously enough, under the infiu-
ence of renewed buying orders from
abroad. which were said to have their
source in Holland Bull pools resumed
their operations In various stocks, and
the continued strength in Sugar gave tone
to the industrial list. Pennsylvania. Bal
tinore and Ohio preferred Missouri Pa
cinc and Chesapeake and Ohio We're con-
spicuous examples of strength. The list
promptly gave way upon the appearance
IF the bank statement on the tape. Pre-
urinary estimates of the gain in cash had
placed II from 100000 to 100000.
Operations with the sub-treasury alone
furnished an increase of 81, 100000 to the
hanks. Wall street is in the dark as to
uhat drain on the banks resources has
sa far offset this advantage as to bring
The cash increase down to 81 73S, 400. II
was also expected that the continued liq-
uid9 tiOn of loans for account or holders
of government bonds, who have been SELL
ing them to realize on the advance in
prices. would offset the expansion of loans
on account of the stock market transact
tions to large extent. The large reali2-
ing of speculative profits in the stock
market was indicative also of a paying
off of loans to some extent.
The street was wholly unprepared for
a large increase in loans. which showed
the enormous expansion of $12, 300. This
served 20 swell the reserve Requirement $
to the extent OF 50, 500 $50. and the cash
increase fell short of this by 81. 931. $50.
which therefore measured the shrinka %
on the surplus. The inference IS clear
and unmistakable that the encroachments
made by speculative demand upon the
loanable resources Of the banks have been
outrunning the increase from other
sources. a check to speculative activity
Is counter-indicated.
Business in the bond market has been
on a very large scale, and lower class

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Yacht MajOrie Arrives From " Long
Cruise south.

The yacht Majorie arrived yesterday
from Key West, and is berthed at the
foot of Bull street. She is handsome
little craft, with beautiful lines. and mas
only been in commission about year.
During this time, however, she mas Deeh
used pretty steadily, having been on sew
eral long cruises.
On her arrival at quarantine at noon
Yesterday, the yacht was detained by ON
Ger I.iniey, because of the fact she was
indirectly from the West hides, ana had
touched at ports against which the gov
eminent uses precauton. DR.. Liniey touhn
all well on board, and as there was no
reason for further detention, he secured
permission from Washington to give the
vessel a free pratique. She then pro
ceeded for the city, arriving late IN the
afternoon. -
Mrs. Van Wickle, widow of the late
Pennsylvania coal operator by this name
owns the Majorie, and is aboard with
relatives. DR.. w. r. Lognshore, the
family physician, and other friends, are
also among the party. 1t is the intention
of che visitors to spend few days in Sa-
yannah, which they will devote to sight
seeing. From here the yacht will prob
ably go to Bristol, r. l., the summer
home of the Van Wickles.

Price. Mccormick & Cos Letter.

New York, April 7.-Price, Mccormick
& Co, say in their circular to-day:
The statistical position in cotton as
revealed by the figures Of the morning
shows extraordinary strength. The stock
at the ports is 10000 bales less than last
year. The stock at the interior towns is
nearly 100000 bales less than last year.
The stock at the interior towns is nearly
200 Oo0 bales less than last year. The stock
in Liverpool is 100000 bales less than it
was last year. The total stock being but
little more than One-third of what it
was last year. The receipts at the interior
towns for the week promise to be al
most nothing comparatively speaking and
the amount of cotton coming in sight for
the month of April as estimated by com
petent authorities, will not exceed $50, 900
bales
The short interest in the New York
market is enormous, being estimated at
10000 bales for August delivery alone,
and over LOCO. 600 bales of new crops. There
is no pressure 10 sell actual spot cotton
from any source, in fact it is hard to buy
and the inquiries being received from
American mills, both Moth and South,
indicate that the extent to which they
have supplied themselves has been gross
ly exaggerated.
The visible supply towards the end of
the year will probably be smaller than
for twenty years, while consumption un-
less checked by an advance in prices, will
probable be double what it was in 1880
Under the circumstances those who are
fortunate enough to own cotton have only
to wait to obtain very full prices for it.
There seems to be a natural corner in
cotton which will be further aggravated
by the complete crop failure in India
and the small supplies available from
Egypt There is no attempt at artificial
manipulation so far as we are able to de-
termine
The normal relation between an enor-
nous demand. and the small supply, will
probably result in extreme prices for the
article. The sale of new crop deliveries
seems to us a very perilous operation.
Al most, there is a profit of half a cent
a pound in it. and should anything hap
I5en to the growing crop, there would be
a loss of three cents pound. The world
will require a crop of 100000 bales next
wear in order to prevent an advance in
cotton to nine or ten cents."-ad.
