New Orleans, April 20.-The weekly
Chronicle weather report was construed
unfavorably by Liverpool, and occasioned
a sharp Improvement there. Our mar
ket responded by opening sac points

weather and heavy receipts, declining 447
points from the top, subsequently rallied
slightly on shorts covering, closing at
gain of 2G3 points on this years posi-
lions, but showed a loss of 2T3 points on
new-crop months. From all the infor-
nation we have received, the cold weather
and heavy rains have not done any seri-
Gus damage. Our correspondents, on the
contrary, claim that the rains have been
beneficial and took advantage of the
steadiness to sell new-crop options. Re-
ferring to the official records of the gov
eminent. we find that practically the
same conditions of low temperature have
prevailed in April for years.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Good Bank Statement nnd General
Trend of Prices Upward.

New York. April 2O.-The week of the
largest transactions in stocks in the his
tory of the Stock Exchange closed with
the natural pressure of liquidation sales
a. the high level. The rapid upward
course of prices at5the close yesterday
brought in the expected horde Of outside
buyers this morning and the profession
ais added their efforts to the excited de-
mand of the outsiders to make opening
prices. as high as possible.
The result was some wide spreads in
prices aud congested buying orders in the
favorite. stocks, notably St. Paul and I'm
ION Pacific. Specific official denials were
put out of the report of the projected
combination of Northwestern and Union
Pacific to offset the Burlington deal. so
the spectators substituted st. Paul for
the former and found ii Just as effective
In attracting demand for the stock. Man
ipuIation in ST. PAU was very palpabie
and violent. but the price was pushed de-
terminedly upward to 10 after having
already crossed its previous record price
yesterday. The final high price was made
in a vigorous effort to rally the market
from the decline into which it had fallen
as result of the mass of realizing sales

cessful In only a few stocks and the I'M

Of net results shows that the persisting
strength was confined TO st. Paul, Union
ard Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific.
Texas Pacific, the local fractions and
some OF the minor stocks.
The bank statement was more favora-
BILE than expected by reason of the heavy
loan contraction, which gave the surplus

the showing had evidently been overdis
counted and the selling to take profits
on purchases made in anticipation of the
statement had evidently not been COM
pleted when the market closed. The sales
of two hours of trading were 1,4l5O00

Murphy & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, April 2O.--Cotton advices from
Liverpool this morning showed an ad
vance of from 2@3 points over yesterdays
close. This had very little effect on our
market, after the opening, which showed
an advance Of from 4lf5 points over our
final figures of yesterday New Orleans
and other shorts did little
covering on the opening, owing to
reported rains in Mississippi and points
in Texas and Oklahoma. Besides the
prediction for the next thirty-six hours
is for further rains in the Atlantic states.
The Chronicle makes an unfavorable
showing, reporting considerable portion
of the cotton belt having too much rain,
being particularly heavy in portions of
the Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas districts. Furthermore lower
temperature has prevailed, with hard
frosts reported from some points in Texas.
The rainfall has been heavy in some dis
tricts, and very light in others AS re-
suit OF the wet weather, planters COM
plain that farming operations have been
greatly interferred with, and in some Sec
tons, almost entirely suspended. Taking
everything into consideration, we are
quite bullish on cotton for a good turn,
although do not look for a decided
change until the season further pro-
crosses.
