advices were disappointing, consequently
our market opened 2 to 4 points lower,

ing to the firmness of spots and the mod
crate movement, closing practically I'M
changed from yesterdays prices. Mr..
Ellison has just issued a circular esti
mating the crop at 10650,000 and the
consumption of American 10,045,0 00 In
his revised figures he increases the
probable consumption of Southern mills

state that there is great diversity of
opinion there about the course of the
market. Still the majority seems to
think that Mr.. Ellison's figures of Lam
cashire consumption are too low. The
fear that consumption had been under
estimated, however, has been the princi-
pal factor in occasioning the recent sharp
advance. OF course, as long rs purchases
of spot cotton are willing to pay present
prices. speculation may force the mark
ct higher, but in all previous years
prevalent values have made it compul-
sorry on the part of spinners to resort
to short time and advices from Man
chester claim that the same measures
will again be adopted this year. The
higher the article goes, the more enthu-
siastic does bullsh sentiment become,
and as there is a general unanimity or
opinion existing in this direction we
believe that of itself should make opera
tors very conservative in trading either
way in summer months. We suggest
that our friends hereafter confine their
deals to new crop options, because with
the existing discounts any set back would
cause a material advance in this posi-
ton. H. & B. BEER.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 26.-Today's stock
market was rather quiet and gave very
little evidence of the activity of the
large speculative forces which have kept
up the animation of the market during
the week Pennsylvania and New York
Central were the only conspicuous stocks
to show sustained strength. with some
sympathetic influence on the stocks of
subsidiary or allied companies. The II
points rise in New York, New Haven and
Hartford was supposed to have some con-
nectioR with the strength of the two
principal trunk line stocks. There were
share advances in number of indus
trials and specialties, which had no
apparent connection and were not ex-
planned by any news development. The
bank statement proved closely in accord
with yesterdays preliminary estimates

unchanged to three points lower. This
decline was entirely a sympathetic
move, to conform with disappointing
Liverpool cables. May sold off to 946,
July to $40 and August to 915 with
Profit taking fairly active. But at the
lower prices commission-houses and the
room trade appeared as eager buyers
and soon July had worked back to ga

cable news there was nothing in the

rent in public circles was very bullish.

Rixey Motion Not Popular.
Mr.. Rixey CVirginia) submitted an ar
gument in favor OF a bill introG aced by
nl1n TO-DAY to admit Confederate veterans
TO national soldiers homes, and to ex
telld the same national aid to state Con
Iederate homes in the South as was ex-
tended to state Union homes. He believer
the time had come when the doors of
Union homes could be opened to Confed
crate veterans The restrictions against
ex-Confederates participating in the gov
ernment and against ex-Confederates
holding commissions in the army or navy
having been removed, he argued that tta
soldlers' home barrier which stands
across the path of ex-Confederate soldiers
also should be removed.
Mr.. Richardson (Tennessee) the Dnroo-
cratic leader, interposed to declare that
never would he be willing to see ex-
Confederates enter Union homes. The de-
bate grew lively, differences of opinion
developing on the Democratic side. Mr.
Richardson (Alabama) sided with M.
RlXey, While Mr.. Lamb (Virginia). Mr..
Bartlett (Gecrgia) and others opposed the
suggestion.
Mr.. Lever (South Carolina) formally an
nounced the death of the late Represent
atlVe Stokes Of his state, which occurred
last summer, and after adopting the Gus
tomary- resolutions of regret, as a fur
tner mark OF respect the house adjourned.
