New York. April 22.-The markets con-
tinue to work on opposite lacks, Liver
pool declining on the heavy receipts at
Bombay, the large movement in America
and the pressure to sell spots to Lam
oashire. This market advanced on shorts
covering in sympathy with the stock mar
ket, and on talk of manipulation in July
Rather against all precedents to adver-
tise any such intention in April, but new
ertheless such a rumor checks any dispo-
sition to sell Notwithstanding the factors
under which Liverpool and the splnners
are acting. Our local traders quickly bin
the market up when the houses supposed
to be interested in July became free sell
ers. New crop positions were affected
by the predictions of warmer, clear wealth
er throughout the cotton belt. The local
temper is bullish in face of the factors
upon which Liverpool is adversely affect
ed. Tenders are expected on May, which
caused the transfer of many long Mays
to July.
