Mr.. Munn's opinion of the effect Of
The Tribune's enterprise is worth read
ing and keeping in mind. He says:
The finishing of two of Carbondales
young men right up in the front rank
of the Scranton Tribunes Educational
Contest indicates that the old town has
been developing some progressive
youths. In proportion to it's popula-
ton and means, / think this city has
produced about as few college men as
the most God-forsaken place on earth
which I believe is Jericho. But these
ambitious boys-Maxwell Shepherd and
Herbert Thompson--who finished sec
ond and fifth, respectively, in the race,
show a new and admirable spirit. or

Carbondalians are sure of something
first-class. as choice comes in the order

vices were more favorable than looked
for, consequently our market opened
500 points higher, declined S@4 later
on longs realizing, became steadier
subsequently on the firmness of spots
and light reports, closing at a net gain
of points on the day. The port and
interior receipts continue very small,
and it is claimed by those well posted
that it will take three or four days
more before the railroads in the Gulf
states will have their lines in normal
condition The semi-weekly interior
receipts are estimated about $4,000
bales, against $4,000 last year and $500
year before last. Manchester cables
say that the recent sharp advance dur
ing the past week paralyzed business in
the cloth market reducing transactions
to minimum proportions. Buyers We're
not disposed to follow the upward
movements, while producers were un-
able to offer any concessions. There
was a continued demand from India
and some sales to China, but the situa-
ton was unsatisfactory. An immense
amount of liquidation has taken place
during the past three days, in the face
of the very small movement and the
frmness of spots. However, it seems
as If the &c level is not attractive to out
siders, who, for the present, refuse to
follow the advance further. If any new
features should transpire in the situa-
ton there may be an incentive for re-
newed speculative buying. The future
course of values will be ruled princi-
pally by receipts.

highest level of the season. The
opening figures proved to be top for
the session, however, as soon after
the call tremendous liquidation set in
and soon carried the whole list to 4
points lower. Arbitrage houses were
very large buyers all the forenoon
and at times in the later session COM
mission houses and Wall street APP
peared anxious to reduce their here
tofore enormous load, taking advan-
tage of the bullish influences at work,
so that the market would absorb their
offerings without weakening appre-
ciab1y. The English market had been
generally expected to decline to 31A
points and the surprising course of
that market prior to the New York
opening for the moment badly fright
ened the shorts. The West seemed
to be an eager seller in the afternoon,
spot cotton houses, Philadelphia inter-
ests and Europe bought near months.
Port receipts were rather larger in
proportion than the average of late,
though still considerably under those
of the same week last year ConserV-
alive estimates placing this weeks ''in
sight" at $4,000 to $4,000 bales, as
against 10000 same week last year
were not without their influence. In
terror town receipts were very small,
but 1858 bales, against shipments of
1851 bales. Near the close July cas-
ed off to 8.91c under a furry of COM
mission house selling, but Immediate
ly stiffened on active bull support and
demand from shorts. The close was
steady with prices net to 10 points
higher. Total sales were estimated
at 100000 bales, mostly May, July and
August contracts.

murphy s Co... Cotton Letter.

New York, April Notwithstanding
the rather more liberal movement ex-
pected for to-day, Liverpool responded
to our closing decline of Saturday by
an actual advance in the near po-
sitions. while the more distant options
were unchanged and neglected. There
was a tendency among some interests
in local trade to view the Liverpool
situation with suspicion on the ground
that the advance was probably the re-
suit of manipulation from this side.
This explanation was not considered
plausible, however, in consideration of
the strong position of spots in market,
which reported sales of 1900 bales at
an advance of 1-32d. The early est!-
mates for to-day's port receipts was
Il, 900 bales against 11,704 last week and
1924 last year from which it will be
observed that while comparing favor
ably with last year, the movement
promised to be somewhat in excess of
bull expectations. The strength at
Liverpool was not to be overlooked
and the local market opened at an ad-
vance of practically to points on
active months. Considerable long cot
ton was liquidated on the advance but
the market readily absorbed offerings,
Little news of Importance developed.
Southern reports generally reflected
favorable weather and progress with
crop preparations during the past
week. In view of the strong position
in the market of the current crop,how
ever, reports of this. character are al
most entirely neglected. Estimates to-

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, April 7.-Liverpool sur
prised the trade by advancing sharply
in the face of the lower markets in
America on Saturday. This caused our
market to open SOLO points higher than
the close, when heavy selling began,
apparently for the saTle parties who
were sellers last week. The volume of
this selling was sufficient to bring
about a reaction in Liverpool, and
here arbitrage brokers were large buy
ers, as Liverpool is relatively higher
as compared with this market than
at any time this season. 1t is esti-
mated that upwards of 100000 bales
have been sold to Liverpool brokers by
the longs during the past week. The
movement of the crop continues on q
very small scale. The interior towns
and the semi-weekly movement prom
ises to be very light. Long selling
continued after the posting of the New
Orleans estimate. Local traders look
for better foreign markets tomorrow
on the light movement. Manchester
and Egyptian merchants were large
buyers in Liverpool to-day.
