COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 10.-The cotton
market opened firm with prices l to 4
points higher, and gained an addition
al point or so Immediately after the
call on furry by room traders COW
ering, foreign buying and some South
ern support. Wall street appeared as
large buyer of the August option,
paying 800 for several extensive blocks,
put at the same time unloading July
holdings eagerly. The first wave of
puylng carried the entire list of new
high record figures. April reaching
9l9c; May, 9.09c; July, 9.10c and Au-
gust, S.92c. For the rest of the ses-
sion the course of the market was
very irregular. Frequent spurts of
liquidation and light selling for re-
action by professional bears, caused
marked weakness at times and kept
prices we'll below the top prices of
the first half-hour. Early cables
were very bullish, Southern spot mar
ket reports strong and sentiment gen
orally friendly toward the market, the
late influences were discouraging. The
official estimate for to-morroW'S re-
ceipts at Houston and New Orleans
furnished the chief cause for uneasi-
ness in bull circles, while increased
estimates for this weeks 'in sight"

prompt smaller holders to hastily take
profits. Nevertheless the New Or
leans market held generally firm all
day with July at 9.16c, when the
same option here was selling at 9.03c.
Throughout the day Wall street bulls
were large sellers of July persistently
bought August. This depression in the
near and support of the later months
caused a narrowing in the price be-
tween the two, to 16. points, as against
q but few days ago. .
The market closed quiet and steady,
net unchanged to points lower.

market opened steady at 42%c, sales
60, and closed quiet and unchanged,

out of the market. The fact that
there is a distinct yielding tendency
was indicated after to-days closing
when sales for domestic were made
at 34hc, and indications pointing to
further recessions. To-days receipts

Murphy s. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 10-Liverpool this
morning made a fairly good response
to our advance of yesterday, though
there was nothing to indicate any en-
thusiasm so far as the futures market
was concerned. Spots, however, were
pretty strong, sales of $4,000 being re-
ported at an advance of 1-16c. The
movement showed signs of increasing,
but this was considered due to the re-
cent heavy demand for export, and
the general feeling around the opening
was extremely bullish. New Orleans
also opened up well and this increased
the disposition to expect higher prices
in this market, Commission houses
were also well supplied with orders,
and for the first half hour, the local
market looked strong. Later cables
from Liverpool. however, showed an
easier tendency in that market, and
New Orleans also turned weaker. I'M
der the influences the tone of the local
market turned easier, which developed
into something like weakness when to-
morrows estimate for Houston was
published, showing 1900 to 5000 bales
expected, against 7S4 last week, 2,296
last year After a decline of about 8
points on active months the market
turned dull with a firm undertone,
though considerable profit-taking was
expected. Inc weather lHfouBH Oul the
belt was favorable, both for the back
ward crop preparations and for an in
creased movement. Cotton is leaving
the country rapidly, however, and the
domestic spinning industry is in
prosperous condition, taking the situa-
ton as a whole. Tomorrow New Or
leans expects 5000 to $780, against A.
425: Houston, 1900 to $500,
against 1926 last year.

was too much liquidation of July con-

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 1O-Liverpool
showed sharp advance before our
opening, but lost the major portion of
the advance, closing quiet. Our ca
bles state that the reaction was due to
heavy realizing and offers of spots
from this side. Exporters report more
business offering from the interior,
which will be apt to increase the
movement at the ports during the next
rev days. Heavy realizing was also
the feature here after the opening and
showed the pressure of limited selling
orders on the basis of 9.10c for July.
When Houston and New Orleans re-
ceipts came heavier than expected,
prices fell below the closing quotations
of yesterday. The local trade looks fer
a further reaction in Liverpool to-mor-
row on these receipts. European buy
ing orders We're here on arbitrage or
ders during the morning. Outside long
interests were transferring Mays to
August. Wall street liquidation in July
continued.

A noteworthy thing in the list of fic- tion announced by Houghton, Mitflin & Co.,, this spring is the extraordinary geographical range of the books. Two continents, three countries and dozen states are covered by the authors. The scene of Mary Johnston's Audrey is laid in Old Virginia. In 'The Diary of a Goose Girl" Kate Douglas Wiggin takes for her demesne a bit of Sussex in old England Maude Egerton Kings idyl, Bread and Wine" has its scene in Switzerland, and Abbie Farwell Browns Tn the Days of Giants" be- longs to Scandinavia. Within our own country, north, south, east and west are drawn on for scenery and back ground. William Sage's "The Clay bornes" is a Virginia product; Charles Egbert Craddocks "Champion' is a Tennessean of course; Arlo Bates Diary of Saint" belongs naturally to New England, as does also Jennette Lees 'tSon of a Fiddler Georgia Wood Pangborn's Roman Biznet," in spite of it's foreign sound is a story of upper New York state But the west has been an especially attractive field to the au- thors of this New England house. Four of them write of the country beyond the Missouri Bret Harte's heroes could not be other than Cahfornians, Mary Hal lock Foote's The Desert and the sown" deals chiefly with Arizona, Frank Lewis Nason's At the End of the Trail' is a tale of Colorado, and Ripley D. Saunders John Kenadi is an Arkansan. E U
