WALL STREET BUYS MAY

New York. April 1.-THE cotton market
opened easy, 1 to 8 points lower In re-
sponse to weak Liverpool cables, and fol-
lowing the call sold off under liquidation
by small holders who were frightened to
this course by large port and interior re-
ceipts. There was little in the local out
look to stimulate bull support. In addi-
tion to the large receipts were reports of
splendid weather conditions pretty much
over the entire belt, dull speculative trade,
continued short time at Lancashire mills,
Of the labor troubles in Augusta and
large estimates OF receipts
When the least expected, Wall street
came into the market as a buyer of the
May options. At the same time the New
Orleans market stiffened up surprisingly
on July and August Ring shorts were
soon making every possible effort to
reach cover and commission houses eager
ly bought the present crop months. From
steadiness the whole market turned firm
and near the close was even strong on
active buying for both accounts through
out the list. The fact that new high
prices had been established in the New
Orleans market to 9.1s for July as against
800 here, in itself frightened the shorts.
The close was steady, with prices Is
points higher. Late report had 1t that

Murphv 4 Co. cotton Letter.

New York, April 15.-Hesitation was
shown in cotton this morning, and bust
ness was on a very small scale. The trade
preferred to await new developments. The
old crop appears to be regarded by many
as a back number, and the belief is that
it will not fall much short Of ten and
quarter million despite the government
and other estimates. The disposition now
is to watch the weather in the south. For
the present at least there has been an
abundance of rain, especially where need
ed in Texas. The great drawback now is
the impression having been maintained
ON a dissappointingly high scale. the i'm
preston having been that the sharp de-
crease Of some days ago was the fore
runner of an early collapse. There was
rain today at Amirillo. Okla. Chattanoo-
ga Atlanta, Montgomery, Charleston,
Augusta and Savannah also had rain.
Prices opened 2 to points lower. Outside
business was on a small scale. Liverpool
was hesitating. Port receipts were II, 900
against 1900 last year. Expectation is
that while the market may not show
much Improvement In the near future,
present prices are not likely to suffer
to any great extent. The short interest
is not insignificant and trade conditions
continue too satisfactory to tempt ag-
gressive bear operations. and besides this
there are probabilities Of big bull leaders
resuming their hold on the market. Prices
moved after the opening to above yes
terdays closing prices. but again weak

Mississippi is following the suit
of this State by abolishing public
hangings, on the grounds that they
are demoralizing and robbed of
much of their moral effect when
performed in public view. In this
State, at one time, they were fast
becoming jubilee occasions in the
black parishes, where it was said
negro juries would often go out OF
their way to provide these public
entertainments for their race, the
negroes invariably knocking OF
work and going for miles to wit
ness hanging.
