NEW ORLEANS. April 3o.-Private cable
 advices from Liverpool today were rather
 cheerful. indicating that the tone of prices was stimulated by the strength of spots and that short time in Lancashire was partially aban- doned. sgnifying better business prospect in that quarter even at the advanced prices ob- tafning. Early reports showed an advance of some points in deliveries, 2 of which were lost in the subsequent trading due presum- ably to realizing of p,ofts. Spots were marked up thirty-second with sales of 5000 bales Trading here was of a varied character with a tendency towards caution. but in the net re. suit the influence of I.iverpoors favorable at titude was quite manifest Closing quotations are 3@o points higher than yesterday. The spot situation here continues firm and q fair business was done today at a further advance In quotations. Were 1t not for the unfiinching strength in that department. 1t is possible that the prevailing level of value would discourage support to the market, but as the case stands. there Is a more ready disposition amongst sellers to retreat from any encourag- ing influences. It Is . market that Is full of possibilities either way. A sudden shrinkage In the spot demand would have a decidedly unfavorable effect. whereas protracted eager ness for actual cotton is quite certain to force prices upward.

NEW YORK. April 3o-The cotton trade this morning was surprised by e much better
 Liverpool report than, had been looked for
 in fact. some months were up as much as ob
 points. This combined with less satisfactory State reports. noted elsewhere, produced better feeling in the early market when prices rose 56lt points. bulls again being disposed to take the aggressive. Sut buying orders quickly petering out succe eded by fears that in the absence of new support and the recent narrowing of the short interest, it might be difficult to rapidly send prices up at this time unless big buying orders from un- expected quarters should set in. Receipts at all ports were estimated at I2 900 against 5000 last year. Business fell off to small proportions as prices gave way and little in terest was displayed. heavy Houston esti- mate for tomorrow unsettled bull confidence to some extent. The weekly bureau report by States shows less favorable condition than was estimated by yesterdays summary which lacked nothing in completeness. West Texas wants rain and there has been also a def- cheney In the States of South Carolina, Geor- gia, Alabama and Arkansas. In Texas. the reports say rain is urgently needed and in some counties of Georgia. there has been no rain. In the cotton bel today there rain at Montgomery, Atlanta. Memphis Oklahoma and a trace at Fort Smith, Palestine and Little Rock Highest temperature "A de- grees at Corpus Christi and the lowest was 60 at Chattanooga. Forecast for Texas and Gulf States tomorrow generally showers and elsewhere fair weather.
