NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.
HI. & b. Beers Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, La, April 3.-Early Liv-
erpool advices were OBSCURE ging. as ca
bles from there stated that the continent
tai trade was in an unsettled condition
and that reports from Manchester were
unfavorable. Our market however, OPEN
ed l point higher, and on the subsequent
improvement in Liverpool superinduced
by large buying, for parties manipulating
in New York, an additional advance of
"a from the bottom was established, re-
aliZing later occasioned a decline of 8 40
10 from the top, making the net gain %
to 26 points on the day Port receipts
were heavy, showing an increase of 14,O00
over last week so far, "a. 900 over last year
and an excess of 1900 over year before
last. The actual semi-weekly interior
receipts were over four times as large
as last year, and the loss in stock was
only 11,0C0, against 1900 last year, all
the legitimate factors in the situation
have not warranted the reaction realized
but by New York manipulation a scare
was created, causing heavy covering by
shorts, as it was feared that a corner
might be attempted in the May option
in that market. 1t is a well known fact
that textile trade conditions have recent
ly grown worse in all countries, and the
advance in the article, instead of anchor
ating the outlook, will only tend 20 ag
gravate the dullness by widening the diff
ferences between the price of manufac-
tured product and raw cotton. Spinners
now claim they are selling goods for less
money than when they bought cotton on
the basis of cents for middling, conse-
quently middling is quoted at sic
there is certainly no incentive for them
to buy under present circumstances. The
apathy exhibited by them is perfectly
natural when it is considered that statis-
&c rfGh nd frad Do
is very unsatisfactory. Manipulation may
succeed in forcing values higher. but we
think the short interest has been reduced
to a minimum amount, and that legiti-
mate features will again prevail in regu-
lating prices ultimately.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter..

New York, April S-The alarm created
here yesterday by rumors of manipulation
in May did not extend to Liverpool until
after our opening to-day, when the de-
mand from the shorts enabled the arbi
TRACE brokers to buy there and sell here
at substantial profit. Here the principal
feature has been the continued buying of
May by the shorts, which has carried
that position we'll above the distant deliv-
cries. Stop orders were touched on the
advance, but there has been an absence
of outside buying except to cover. Re-
ceipts at the interior towns were heavy,
but the estimate at New Orleans was
lighter than expected. The demand for
May has been freely supplied by the long
interest, the supposed largest holder be-
ing a free seller on the advance. Liver
pool is expected to follow rapidly to-mor-
row in answer to our Improvement.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Eather PnnhY.

There IL funny old story about the
pansy which many children know, but
many, again, do not The pansy has
five petals and five sepals. In all pan
sies two Of the petals are OF plain color,
and three are gay with stripes and
spots of bright color. The two plain
petals have but one sepal between
them, while the two smallest, or the
gay petals, have q sepal each, and the
one large petal has two sepals.
AS the story goes, the pansy repre-.
sents a family-a mother, two daugh-
ters and two stepdaughters. The moth
er Is very cross and cruel to her step
daughters, obliging them both to sit on
one chair and wear homely dresses,
while her daughters have a chair each
and very gay dresses indeed.
But why doesn't the father object to
such treatment Of his daughters? The
question is, can you find the father7
He is at home. Oh, yes. And you will
have to tear the house down, taking
out the wife and children, TO find him.
He Is a little bit of man, with G
white wrapper on and a nightcap. But.
poor man, he is sick, and If you will
look closely you will see that he sits
with his hands on his knees, look Of
despair on his face and his feet in q
tub Of hot water.
