New Orleans. April 26-Liverpool ad- vices were disappointing consequently our market opened , to 1 points lower. but subsequently, regained the loss ow- ing to the firmness of spots and the mod crate movement. closing practically un- from yesterdays prices Mr.
 Ellison has just issued a circular esti mating the crop at 10, 900 and the con sumption of American i0.450.000. In his revised figures he increases the probable consumption of Southern mills 166.0OO but reduces Lancashire consumption 99.0p0. Cables from Liverpool state that there Is great diversion of opinion there about the course of the market. still the figures of Lancashire consumption are too low. The fear that consumption had been nnder estimated. however. has been the principal factor in occasionng the re- cent sharp advance. Of course. as long as purchasers Of spot cotton are willing to pay present prices, speculation may force the market higher. but in all pre- vious years prevalent values have made it compulsory on the part of spipners to resort to short time and advices from Manch ster claim that the same measures will again be adopted this year The high CT the articl g3es the more enthusiastic does bullish sentiment become and as there is general unanimitv of opinion expressed in this dir 2ction We believe that of itself should make operators very conservative in trading either way in months we suggest that our new crop opinions. beca use with the ex- istlEg discounts any set back would cause a material advance in these pos tions

R. II. ssale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 New Orleans April 2s.-Liverpool did well enough today notwithstanding the fact that some opposition developed against the advancing tendency. Deliy- cries scored further rise of about two points and spots were marked up one sixteenth with transactions of 1000 bales and the tone called firm. Private cables reported that some traders were disposed to operate for reaction based on the Idea that the visible supply did not dimin- ash sufficiently during the week. It IS possible. however. that MT. Ellison also had much to do with influencing antag- onism to the rise. He ia reported to have issued circular estimating the Ameri- can crop at I0.65o00o bales and the con sumption of American cotton at To- 4o.ooN bales indicating d surplus of 2U.0o0 bales at the end of the season. These figures are generally liscredited here. The esti- mate of consumption being regarded as too low and the crcp calculation too largs. Aside from the fact that a very steady tone was maintained in tho face of ctis- tomary Saturday covering. there was no change to note in the attitude of this market. A fair demand was at hand and no pressure appeared from any sotIree. Closing quotations are practically un- changed from yesterday. It is seldom that such confidence Is displayed in the ranks of the bulls as is witnessed at present and even the high level of prices already established does not appear 10 disturb faith in the situation in the slightest degree. No consideration seems to be given to the fact that the higher the price. the more consumption is likely tc he restricted. but the disregard for this latter proposition is readily expl9in- ed by the una bated strength Of spots. the continuous demand in that depart ment serving as proof conclusive to many that much c,.ttr~ Is yet wanted though the cost of acquiring it he advanced. The situation looks distinctly favorable in ev- cry respect but 1t should be remembered that the unexpected generally happens and the prevailing level of values alone calls for the exercise of unusual conserv- atism in transactions.

MARKERS FOR FUTURES
THE LIVERPOOL CABLES WERE
 DISAPPOINTING.
Spot Demand in the South Continued to Be Strong and Other News .,s Was of a Bullish
 Character.

New York, April 26-The cotton mar ket opened steady with near months bgs points lower and far months unchanged to points lower. This decline was, en- tirely a sympathetic move. to conform with disappointing Liverpool cables. May sold off to 9.46; July to 9a0 and August to S15. with profit-taking fairly active. But at the lower prices commission houses and the room trade appeared as eager buyers and soon July had worked back to 9.A and August to 9.20. Aside from :. the cable news there was nothing in the sit- nation to warrant a reaction from the late advance of nearly 50 points Spot demand in tho South was strong at ad- vancing prices. this weeks 'in- sight" bid fair 10 be littl', more than half that of the same week last year. demand for goods was gratifying and speculative sen timent In public circles was very builish. Reports as to the new crop were general ly 'ncouraging. but had little effect upon the late months which held close to last rights final bids.

The rinancier's Statement.


 The Financier's Statement.
 New York, April 2s.--The Financier this week says: The official statement of the New York Associated Banks for the week showed an increase of 3.325, 800 in cash. of which $56i,60 consisted of specie and cash is only ssll. 2lo below that which was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the week, the estimated sum being A,l36700. In the previous week there was difference between the esti- the latter being ys6O. .l10. while the former was S2.o34.0 000 This wide difference. it was then believed. indicated that the statement was made on rising verges which. belief. it now appears. was most that the bank returns of last week re- hected actual conditions as regards cash. more closely than has usually been the case. The cash movement was well dis tributed throughout the week money coming from nearby points in fair amounts each day.
 Loans were decreased s1,0o7, 900 making $l3. 300 since April 12 inclusive. during which period stock transactions were in large volume. The requirements of stock commission houses have been largely met with offerings from country banks. chiefly at the West. who have freely loaned the balances with their New York correspondents so that the stock ex- tain all the money they needed elsewhere than from the local bank and trust com panies. The deposits were in, ceased last week H.n2, %00. The statement is. there- fore, out of harmony. the gain in cash less the loss in loans calling for an in crease in deposits of g. 22S 200. The re- quired reserves augmented by s4i3. 100 which amount deducted from the gain in cash of s3.325,5oo leaves s2SS2.400 as the increase in surplus reserve. This item now stands at sa, 46l .050. against SIS. 759. 775 tt the corresponding date last year. The cash changes by individual banks were comparatively small during the week. N.ne Wall Street institutions showed net gain of g, 200 900: two of this number indicated an increase of $4. 100. .0o0 and one decrease of Sf, i00. 900.

Hints To Farmers.

have oflen been asked by some
OF my farmer neighbors to give my
advice on the management OF the
farm and farm animals, through
the column OF some OF our country
papers, and | viii now try to give
them few hints, though some OF
them do not need them, as they are
already good practitioners.
II there are dozen mud holes
the road in front OF your farm,
don't take the time to al them up
wait till summer comes and they
will dry up. Ifthey are in front
OF someone else's farm 1t Is a dr.
ferent matter and he ought 10 fill
them al once.
When a rainy day comes, you
could grease the harness, clean up
the barn, mend your farm lmple-
ments and broken doors and gates
and put your tools in order. But
what is the use II is better 10 20
of to the country store, sit around
all day and tell whatyou would do
II you were in Congress.
Pounding a kicking COW with a
fence stake will not break her OF
the habit. She does not kick be-
cause she Is naturally vicious, but
because things have not been fully
explained to her. She feels che is
defending herself from personal
attack. A COW should be taught
to know what farmer means.
When he sits down alongside of
her TO milk, he should yell out:
"Ho, now stand over there and
keep mighty stlll, or I'll knock
your old horns OIL with a. crow
barr
A farmer is boss OF his barn and
everything In II. When he goes
out in the morning to feed his
stock, he should bang the door af-
ter him and yell out at the top of
his voice, and II the horses and
cows don't stand around and show
their fear OF him few whacks with
pltch.fork handle will bring
them to time. The more you pound
a horse, the more work he will do
and the more you kick a COW, the
more milk she VIII give.
fla farmer only half plows, half
drags and half plants his corn and
then goes oil fishing or runs after
politics, instead OF hoeing and cul-
tlvating, he will have more weeds
than corn. This will give him a
chance to complain OF his bad
luck and declare that everything
is working against him, A corn
crop ought TO take care of itself,
even to husking, but it is just mean
enough not to do it.
0nco in ten years the we'll ought
to be cleaned out. There is no
special rush about It until the
water begins to taste of old boots,
old hats, missing chickens, tur-
nips, beef bones, ctc. Bad we'll
water will breed typhoid feyer,and
1t may carry out three or four OF
the family, but there is nothing to
DO scared about. 1t is cheaper TO
pay doctor bills and funeral ex-
penses than to clean out the well.
