lbS special Leased Wlre.t
 NEW ORLEANS April iS.-Liverpool re- msined in line with the procession and today reported additional advances of 3 points in deliveries and lis in spots with sales of 7,- 900 bales. Private cables attributed the rise to covering by shorts in near positions and a scarcity of sellers. In view of the rise of over one whole point in British consols how ever, the opinion prevailed here that brighter peace prospects in South Africa figured in the upward course of the English market. On this side all the statistics of the week were exceedingly bullish and served to hold the days advance within a few points of top prices notwithstanding considerable profit talk ing by recent purchasers. Closing quotations are 4mS points higher on this crop and about points lower on the next The weeks in sight fell short of last year by 3. 900 bales. Exports for the week exceeded port receipts by 8, 900 bales and the visible supply of American cotton lost 50. 900 bales more than the same week last year. Thus the port and counted interior stocks are 24o 900 bales smaller than at this period last year while the visible supply of American cotton is also 30 900 bales less. With such statistics and the impression that spinners are still in need of considerable cotton from this crop. it is no wonder that the markt coentnues to exhibit an upward tendency regardless of the rise already established,

NEW YORK. April i8.-The cotton market opened steady with prices 3q7 points higher and with shorts once more thoroughly alarmed by the great strength of the legitimate posi- tion of cotton. The bears found very little staple offered on the call and were disturbed by what appeared to be Southern and Northern spinners' demands for the near months A prominent German house eagerly bought large blocks of July wherever offered and through causing relatively firmer ruling of that op- ton than the rest of the list. Wall Street ap- peared to be increasing its short lines in Au- gust, while spot cotton houses bought the May position. Commission houses were large selMrs of the present crop months in general though more particularly the May option, investors fearing possible tenders of notices to them within the next few days.
