CLEVELAND MADE $4oo,ooo
By the .Skyrocket Flight of Northern
 Pacific Stock.

New York, May n.-Former President Cleveland made $4OOOO0 by the skyrocket fight of Northern Pacific, according to a group of stock brokers who, in the smok- ing room of the Waldorf Astoria tonight were discussing Wall street matters.
 According to them, MT. Cleveland bought a considerable block of Northern Pacific outright year ago when the stock was selling in the forties. He made the purchase, 1t was said on the advice of his former secretary of war, Daniel s. Lamont, who is vice president of the Northern Pacific system.
 MT. Lamont, soon after he became con- nected with the Little Nipper' proper ty advised many of his friends to in- vest in the stock, and bought large block in the street, when it was going begging in the street. MT. Lamont. it is said, has made more than $1,0O00O0 by the phenomenal rise in the stock.
 William c. Whitney who was also in MT Cleveland S cabinet, and Thomas F. Ryan, his associate in street railway ventures, also made a lot of money out of Northern Pacific, according to the brokers They got in on Union Pacific. too, before 1t began it's remarkable up- ward flight.
 E. c. Benedict, the banker and close personal friend of MT. Cleveland, has made immense sums out of steel stocks, according to the brokers.
 Nearly every Tammany Hall leader of prominence, it was said in Delmonico's, by the brokers who gather there nightly. has made large sums by following the advice of James R. Keene.
 Richard Croxer is credited with having cleared si0O GOO on tips from MT. Keene.
 State Senator P. H. McCarren is said to have cleared up s3Oo.0OO on advice from the same source.

Murphy 6. co.,o Cotton Letter.

New York, May 1.-The Liverpool cot ton market came strong this morning, being to points higher, with spot sales of 4000 bales. The opening here was also strong and higher, July contracts selling points higher Shorts in distant months were belittling the poor crop outlook. The absence of rain continues. After the open ing rumors of rain in Mississippi and Arkansas caused a setback
 The Chronicles report for the week was as bullish as looked for. Dry wealth CT continues at most points Many dis tricts have had no rain for three weeks There is general complaint of moisture and unsatisfactory stands of cotton in Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama. The total visible supply Is 2,560,OO0, against 2,4950 900 last year. including 2,4S7, 900 Ameri- can cotton, against 2,037, ,0O0 last year.
 Spot cotton at Liverpool advanced 3-32d today, the price being 7-16d, against 5ssd the same date last year, which many regarded as ridiculously low and unwar- ranted even by fine crop prospects.

The Prophets Fate.

From the Ohio State Journal
 Hello" came a wee, small voice over the telephone.
 Hello answered the weather prog nostigator wearily.
 'Is that the weather bureau?"
 'It is.'7
 Are you the gentleman who tells peo- pie what sort of weather we are going to have?"
 'I am."
 "Well will you please tell me what sort of weather will prevail in Columbus on Easter?'
 Present indications, based on the con- sensus of observations made by our fore casters throughout the United States, seems to point to a variable Easter day. There is likely to be a rising wind in the morning, followed by copious April showers The sun will make a gallant effort to shine about p. m., whereupon dark clouds will appear in the west and more rain will fall" . But couldn't you arrange for love- ly Easter day without rain?"
 ''No-say, Is this the agricultural ex- pertinent station talking?'
 NO, it isn't. It's Mrs. Swagger, do you hear! I can't wear my new Easter bonnet to church, and think yours just horrid!" (Rings off)

 New Orleans, May 1.-The strength of the American cotton market yesterday was doubly reflected in the advance to- day in Liverpool. The English market rose seven points on deliveries, closing firm at the advance, while spots were up S-s2d on reports of slight rainfall in sev- eraI sections where moisture is needed the domestic markets failed to respond to Liverpool's good advance. the trade looking to growing crop conditions as the all potential influence in shaping fu- ture values for the staple. No more con vincing evidence of this fact can be shown than the turn of the markets to- day. Our information does not lead us to conclue. that any substantial injury to the start has yet been done. only about the usual drawbacks in scattered sections of the cotton belt. But with the present and prospective small stocks of the raw material the market is apt to be very sensitive for some time to come.

A WEAK BANK STATE MEN !

< New York, May 1.-The statement of the Associated Banks for the week end ing today shows:
 Loans. sS97,7l6sOO. increased s7.266. 300; deposits s977 49O, 600; increase $4.279, 300; cir culation ss1,Os1,1OO; decrease $51,sOO; legal tenders s7s. 7Ss 800; increase s7s4. 200; specie sT79T60.7OO; decrease s2,542, ,0oO; reserve s252 800, 200; decrease s1, ,757, 800; reserve re- ouired s2A, ,s72, 725; increase $1.Osss25; sur plus ss,127, ,475; increase s2,s52,6 ,625.
 sNew York, May 1.-The Financier says;
 The Associated Banks of New York lost s2,S52,625 surplus reserve last week, springing the present total excess down to sS,127, 475. The loss in two weeks amounts to $s, s,6S23OO, most of which went to the treasury. The increase in loans was s7,266,50O, which, in view of the con- ditions prevailing since Monday does not seem to agree with what Is known to have occurred during that period. The enormous liquidation in loans which took place as a result of stock panic com ing as 1t did at the latter end of the week, Is probably not reflected In the statement of averages. and 1t Is fair to infer that the loan item and necessarily the total deposits are smaller than rep resented. This being true, the reserve requirements of the banks are lessened, and the condition of the institutions from a. cash standpoint is better than repre- scented in the statement. The weekly. ex- hibit Is better than represented in the statement. The weekly exhibit cannot be regarded as unfavorable of itself, but it is apparent that there Is nothing In the eft r. al m n anything but frmness in rates. The furry on the stock exchange certainly caused heavy shipments of currency to this center, both by institutions and by operators, whose accounts had been weakened It is also true that a great deal of investment buying from outside sources has been going on These infiu- ences do not show in the current exhibit. The export of a small amount of gold during the week in the face of money rates far above the normal created some comment but it is explained that this was on a previous order. To what extent the international exchange situation has been affected over the last week cannot be stated accurately but it will not be strange If some unexpected features ap- pear as result for the causes already alluded to- The official statement of the city national banks made last week show that they have lost ten millions In cash since the previous call in February, while deposits have contracted about s11, ,300. 900 and loans have remained al- most. stationery. In other words their reserve is lower than at the beginning or Febr,iary. It is significant that of the losses in deposits the greater part can be traced to the withdrawals of interior Institutions. Any maintenance of firm rates here. however, will attract funds to this center.

 About this time last year, or perhaps a little later, trade in textile fabrics be- gan to lose its bouyancy and after mid summer rapidly grew worse A reversal this year if the trade conditions is not unlikely and if perchance any mishar overtakes the crop high prices another season would surely result.
 With depleted mill stocks the world over even with full crop prices are not likely to reach the low level of two years ago, as the world will require in any event fair sized crop.

On the rise the West and Europe purchased several large blocks of near months. Soon after the call the market turned heavy and broke six to nine points under profit taking and strong reaction theory.

Receipts were trihe larger than expected and the outlook was favorable to a large movement next week The weather chart reported showers In the western and parts of the central belt, while the forecast in dicated general rains for the better part of the belt, tomorrow.
