RENEWED ENERGY
 FOR STOCK MARKET. Speculative Buying Ran Prices
 Upward in Wall Street BAIT FOR OUTSIDE SUCKERS Attraction Being Badly Needed for Outside Buyers-Professiona ManipuIators Mix Up In
 Buying and Selling.
BAIT FOR OUTSIDE SUCKERS

New York April 1S.-The promise of good bank statement on Saturday and the further relaxation in the money market, which resulted, were the main motives in the renewed speculative buying of stocks today. The movement of prices was ex- ceedingly irregular and proft-taking was on very large scale. The overwhelming of speculation was not achieved without aggressive leadership by the professional element, who called to their assistance all the arts of manipulation to move the prices upward so as to afford the requis- ite attraction to the outside speculative world. While they were developing new points of strength they or their profess sional brethren were actively selling to take profits in the recently exploited stocks.
 Sugar was temporarily strong because of the advance in the price of the re- fined product after the market had closed last night but sagged away in a charac- teristic manner on the good news later in the day. Its depression was empha- sized by the heavy import duty levied up- on refined sugar in the British budget. The most effective leaders of the market were Atchison and Union Pacific. The
 
 placed on a per cent dividend basis, and that Pennsylvania interests were to be represented in the directory.
 In Union Pacific it was said that the Southern Pacific collateral bonds were to be redeemed, thus releasing the Central Pacific stock, and that Union Pacific was to cooperate with Northwestern in the formation of transcontinental system to offset the Burlington deal. Atchison enjoyed an extreme advance of 2B as a result of these maneuvers and Union Pa : cifc was lifted 2A. There were other ad- vances amongst the Southwestern and Southern Railroads, which were largely sympathetic. New York Central, the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis stocks, Canada Southern and New York, Chicago and St. Louis advanced from 11a to 3$4 in company, and Pittsburg, c. c. and St. Louis rose "A over last night in sympathy. The New York public utilities had their period of strength as did a number of other specialties, notably Colorado Fuel Tennessee Coal New York Airbrake, Pacific Coast. and United States Express, the latter on the election as directors of officials of other express companies The gains in this lot of stocks ran from about to 10 points. The re- taxation In the money market had the greater effect since there was no respon- ; sive hardening of the sterling exchange rates. The budget speech was received too late in Wall street to attract much at- tention, but the decision for $300,000,- 4. 900 loan, which is equal to the maximum estimate, is bound to be a potent factor In the future of the New York money market.
 Dealings in bonds continued large, and the market irregular Total sales, par value, $4,400,000.
 United States new As advanced A per cent on the last call.

pun's Review for April.

New York. April 1s.--Dun's review of April 20 will say:
 Reports from numerous branches and many correspondents of R..G. Dun & Co.,. in the cotton belt, indicate that cold weather, and in most sections incessant rains, have delayed planting for the new cotton crop. The season Is about two weeks late. Acreage will exceed last year, though cancellation of some early orders for fertilizers show that the in- crease will not be as large as the higher price for cotton prevailing earlier in the year seemed to justify. Sales of fertil- izers have. been far in excess of last year, and there will be a larger use every where. In the Atlantic coast states rains have been very heavy and in some places farm work was wholly suspended. There is much difficulty in obtaining labor, hands being fully employed in commer- cial and industrial lines at higher wages One estimate is made that on account of higher wages for farm hands an increase in the cost of fertilizers and of many feed products the cotton crop this year will cost at least one-eighth more to raise and gather than last year. Condf- tfons are much the same in every section of the south. In the southwest a consid-. erable increase in acreage is reported and lands put down in winter grain de- stroyed by insects will be replanted in cotton. $eorgia cotton mills are running full time, but in other section of the south there has been considerable cur tailment of production. A number of new mills are in course of erection, notably in Tennessee.

will likely be down to small proportions before the end of the season.
 Estimated receipts at New Orleans for tomorrow, 5000 to 4000 bales, against 442S and SS1. At Houston 27OO to 5000 bales are expected, against 2296 and 187.
 Another bullish factor today was the weather in all parts of the south and west. Cold and unreasonable weather prevailed everywhere except in the east ern section of the cotton belt Frost was reported last night in northern Texas and for tonight same predictions are made for Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and other southern states with general cold rains.
 This will further delay planting. The only thing Is. the news today was too generally bullish. but it certainly will re- strain short selling. Purchases for long account would seem to offer great possi- bilities

PRICE GOES UP 7 POINTS

New York, April 1S-It was an un- usualie trying day for shorts In the cot ton market and at times considerable excitement prevailed on scrambles to reach safety ground by room bears and on fiurries of buying for outside account, the latter mostly foreign. On bullish Liv- erpool advices and very bad eather re- ports the market opened steady with prices to 5 points higher and soon fur ther advanced on a covering mood and news from abroad. Reports that heavy frosts had extended over Northern Texas unnerved shorts and prompted buying of scalping nature. By midday the ad- vance had reached a matter of to ' points with the market very firm. Ru- mors that spot cotton was advancing rap idly on better demands from the mills, claims that the cotton goods markets were stiffening and prospects for contin- ued cold weather and rains Tn the South tonight all helped to strengthen local bull sentiment. On the rise May reached S.16 and July SIP. The early afternoon wit messed the best prices of the session, a hurried turn for cover and Wall street buying of July. Thereafter the market was quiet and sagged under profit-taking and selling in anticipation of q sharp re- action tomorrow in Liverpool. Estimates for fairly large receipts tomorrow at New Orleans and Houston helped to ease off the late market. Throughout the session rumors of July manipulation were in cir culation and that option led in all upward movements. Profit taking sent prices down to about last nights closing in the last half hour and the market closed quiet net points higher to ? lower.

 New York, April 1s-strong and higher cables liberal sales of spot cotton in Liverpool at advancing prices and bad weather south, with shorts covering was enough to bring about a sharp advance here. Only for the desire of some longs to secure profits 1t is more than likely this market would have scored further advance. but it is shaping in that direc- tion.
 Prudent shorts are covering on all po- sitions and we believe it's wise thing to do. Ports today are small. total of T. 6s9, against 15,611 and 3S75 same day a week ago and a year ago.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York. April 1S.-The stock market opened showing somewhat irregularity, but for the most part at advances in com parison with yesterdays final figures. The advices regarding the labor situation at Pittsburg, while somewhat indefinite, were in the main encouraging, and on this account the United States Steel stocks opened at material advances from yesterdays last prices Other noteworthy gains in the industrial quarter were noted in Sugar and American Smelling. Among the specialties there were tremendous transactions in Copper. Anaconda, with ing, however narrow limits. Dealings were in tremendous volume throughout the rest of the list. Northern Pacific and Burlington were somewhat reactionary. although it was expected that so-called deal between those roads would probably be announced today. The Erie issues op- ened exceedingly strong and active. Atch- ison, which was the feature of the mar ket at the close of business yesterday. was reactionary today on the appearance of tremendous profit realizing sales.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 1S-The market for spot cotton today was very quiet. There is very good inquiry for the higher grades, but they are comparatively scarce, and therefore cut but little figure in the current movement. The weather was alto- gether unsuited for the satisfactory in~ spection of samples; added to which fact the Interruption of telegraphic service left the speculative element in something of a quandry as to the probable condi- tion of our markets. The sales were 2950 bales, including 1200 to arrive; prices un- changed.
 There was some lively trading in fu- lures, and the bulls seemed to have every thing their own way. Liverpool came in at an advance of 2-32d on spots and 2-64 @3-64d on deliveries, and gained an ad- ditional 1-64d in the latter department. This gave rise to feeling of jubilation on the part of the longs, and the local market responded by opening 5@S points higher. But in the meanwhile, the storm seemed to be getting in it's work on the Atlantic coast, and telegraphic communi- cation with both New York and Liver pool was shut off. The market later on eased off somewhat, and finally closed @5 points above yesterdays closing prices; May sos; June 7.9S and July 7.95
