 The first session was called to order about o'clock Friday afternoon, and after the audience had finished sing ing the National anthem. divine bless ing was invoked by the Rev. MT. Wales The address of welcome was delivered in most eloquent manner by the Rev. Mir. Hay, pastor of the Imperial church. In his address he gave complete, Coll else and most interesting history of; the Imperial valley and its settlements, relating occasionally some instances that were indeed Imaginable, but at the same time tended 10 show sturdy quail tIes are possessed by the first among those who have set about to reclaim this valley to man and his inherita nee. In response to Rev. Hay, who welcomed the strangers to our midst 50 nlodestly, but feelingly, Prof. A. J. Cook spoke in d happy manner and immediately put the audience in good humor, say ing he was agreeably Surprised at the number present and would still have been pleased if the attendance had not been half as great. Referring 10 the valleyhe said we hada wonderfully fer tile soil-it was good all the way down. The crying need of California is our best help-water, water. We have il here in large quantities, all we needed, and more too. And what struck him the most forcibly was the splendid people he found in this community, and he said he would never see the word ''Imperial'' in paper without feeling thrill from head to foot, and would recall with extreme pleasure the hearty welcome with which he had been received. By way of advice the professor gave some very good hints, such hints as would help any comnun- ity if acted upon. Union ot feeling, union of action, is what he believes in, and with that union of spirit d com munily can work wonders. He sug gested that we form book clubs, and put forth very feasible plan whereby it conld be done. Sympathy of feel ing. he said, was a wonderful thing.
 In another talk later in the afternoon Prof. Cook took as his subject, ''Shall Imperial Have a Club?' He insisted that if we did not form club, we would be back number. Clubs did more toward encouraging the building up of community than one could pos sibly imagine at first. As a member. learns something of value, he will bring his knowledge before the club and the whole community profits ma terially. He enumerated several in- stances where towns and farming dis tricts have grown and hourished as Green Bay tree under the helpful guidance of an enthusiastic and pro- gressive club.
 Friday evening the session opened with music, and seats in the hall were at premium. The question box was opened and the number of questions that were asked showed conclusively that there was wide-a-wake interest being taken. Questions about plants, crops, irrigating, drainage, etc.. came up and were discussed. Two papers

New York, May 2S.-Prices for cotton
were two to four higher in the first
hour. Gables were in full response to
the few bullish features in yesterdays
bureau report for the week. There
was some little concern because of the
cooler weather in the South, and there
was also talk of too much moisture of
the Northern section of Texas and
Northern boundary. In the absence of
really striking feature, tits an easy mat
ter to influence the market by hap
penings, and the cold weather scare
was worked this morning, although it
failed to broaden the market to any
material extent. The situation remains
one of uncertainty, one side
being comforted by small receipts and
the other by good progress for the new
crop so far and apathy of spinners.
On other hand there is danger of some
unexpected doings either by Liverpool
or New Orleans during our close on
Friday and Saturday, hence operators
On both sides are extremely cautious.
Rain fell to-day at Oklahoma and Fort
Smith and the port receipts were 5000
against 1870 last year. The indiffer-
ences of New England mills was as
cribed largely to leading short inter-
csts who were advising mills that sup
plies could be had at s cents later on.

COTTON FUTURES.

l to points higher in response to firm
Liverpool cables and light receipts
While there We're occasional slight set
backs later, the general course of the
market during the balance of the day
was upward on covering by local and
outside shorts, prompted by the close
proximity of the holidays and by less
Dearlsh crop accounts from several
sections of the belt. The private ad-
vices from the South told of increased
export demand for spot cotton and
more inquiry from Northern spinners.
The weather reports gave light rains
in portions of the belt to-day and not
ed unseasonably low temperatures
throughout the Northern section. The
forecast pointed to general rains in the
belt tomorrow. Belief that Liverpool
will be still higher tomorrow on the
wet weather forecast and better spot
demand in the South, prevented the
bears from making vigorous attacks
upon the market in the late session.
Again, a scare of belated May shorts
influenced the rest of the list consid-
erably. That option started points
above last nights final bid, at 9.14c
and continued to advance until 9.3Oc
was reached. The final bid was 9.27c
with the final offer 930c. The market

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Cotton Letter.


New York. May 2S.-Liverpool,
though higher, was a disappointment
to our local trade, who were free SELL
ers at the opening, especially of July
which were pressed for sale. A small
short interest in May covered, causing
an advance of ten to fifteen points on
that delivery. This advance alarmed
the early sellers of yesterday, who in
buying August, brought about the rally
of the morning. Crop accounts con-
tinue to be very favorable, but the
light movement affected the continental
opinners, who are asking for cotton as
they need about three hundred thou
sand bales from now to the end of the
year. Japan was reported as a buyer
in the Liverpool market. July here
has been relatively the weakest month
all day. 1t offers the cheapest market
for the continental spinners in America,
but there are few who look for any
demand as long as crop reports con-
tinue good.
