HAVEN & sToUrs COTTON LETTER.
Especial to News and observer.)

New York, April, marked Irregular
ty has been seen in the movement of the
cotton market this week. The compare
tive steadiness which had prevailed in
spite of the inactive conditions of the
preceding fortnight gave place at first to
a rather rapid selling movement and de-
cline This was accompanied by liqui-
dating sales on the part of the large
long interest both here and in Liverpool,
and the nearby options on last Wednes-
day broke below 8 cents, making declines
of fully 80 points in some of the deliver
les. 1t was, however, succeeded by
sharp rally, based mainly upon the COW
ering of the considerable amount of short
contracts put out by traders during the
decline The Winter deliveries which had
also sold off in sympathy with nearby
months recovered in company with the
latter, although they displayed less de-
cided strength. This may be attributed
to the more favorable news regarding
weather conditions at the South, and
preparations for the new crop, which, in.

COTTON.

New York. April THE cotton market
opened steady with prices two to six
points higher, this improvement being
based on firmer English cables than ex
pected and reports of light to excessive
rains in the Western belt. The bullish
news fell fiat as a speculative stimulant,
however, and Immediately following the
call business dropped off abruptly to a
struggling room weekend evening up
of accounts. Local shorts, New Orleans
representatives and Europe bought the
summer months on the call but later
neglected the market. The far months re-
ceived scarcely a semblance of attention
all the session. Receipts were fair with
predictions plentiful for continued liberal
interior shipments for some time to
come. Southern spot markets were de-
scribed as fairly steady but very tame.
The market for futures closed steady
