Murphy 6 Co.'S Qnc.) Cotton Letter

NEW YORK. April 25. 5.-Nctwithstanding the good rise yesterday. cotton opened higher to- day the general list showing lG5 points ad- vance and April i2 points on less active transactions than yesterday. The remarkably fine showing at Liverpool again surprised bulls also inspired them with confidence. It was expected that an anxiety to take profits would lead to substantial decline in the carly market but this not the case. At the same time it noted that while the more conservative element were not sure to prices advancing by leaps and bounds. the rampant faction were talking wildly, some pre-
 tending to believe in or cents further rise. Perfect weather prevailed all over the South today A further slight gain followed the opening May notices representing 50 900 bales were sold during the morning. The net gains at Liverpool was 2d4 advance and this alone prevented local liquidation to any ex- tent llp to noon The statistical developments at Liverpool for the week regards stock have again been bulish. The supply of all kinds of cotton fell from l.l LOGO last week to oS6 900 while the American stocks de
 creased 35 900 and now 965 900. The afoat stock. however. increased 3 900 for all kinds and s4, 900 for American. Attention is called to the fact that prizes for middling on the spot at Liverpool today is 5ltd against 42I-32i last year It may further be noted that total stocks there, while showing lt
 crease for the week are 800. 900 ahead of last year, but this should not count for much in view of the persistent claims of decidedly good trade conditions with indications of a continuence to the end of the season

would stop and ask themselves if they

unctly wrong to encourage the publica-

week in such columns in some of the
most widely circulated newspapers. The
letters are far from enlightening. and
the advice given is idiotic.
