 NEW ORLEANS. April 4.-Our market opened 5d6 points higher in sympathy with more favorable Liverpool advices than expect ed, improved 4d5 points additional on the light New Orleans and Houston estimates and the bullish weekly statistics, Realizing caused on the day. The amount brought into sight during the week was S3 ooo against 50 900 last year and 7l 900 year before last. The total marketed from Sept. to date is 356,- 900 in excess of last year and 900 900 over year before last: therefore, as the commerc lal year before last the movement on it's face would point to a crop of lo,I39 900 compared to last year. or Io.436. 900 compared to year before last. The interior receipts during he week 46. ooo against 6s. 900 last year, showing loss in stock of 27.oOo. against American ashore and ahost to Liverpool Is lil0.o00. against 93l 900 last year and 697 900 year before last. The visible supply of American decreased 10000 during the week against decrease of 50. 900 last year and I77. 900 year before last, and the aggre- cess of last year and 359 900 over year be- fore last Spnners takings of American cot- ton to date aggregate 7,266, 900. against 6. 604, 900 last year or an increase Of 662 OOO This proves that the mills are well supplied with the raw article and the question now arises will there be the same eagerness to stock up m a 9-cent basis as was done on much lower level? The chances hand to- mouth policy will be pursued consequently conserva- tive operators think present prices discount a great deal. Sentiment continues bulish how ever. and With encouragement from outsiders any favorable feature will be eagerly grasped with view of forcing values higher. Re- ceipts will probably continue light until the railroads and country roads get in normal condition.

 NEW ORLEANS April 4.-Liverpool con- tinues to grow better 1t goes along in its own modest way. The liberal stocks of cot ton accumulated in the English market may afford degree of comfort to some. but the quantity does not seem to be sufficient for all eoncerrea fi that Qfare~rS ae 'eaefi day ~eeextis has developed necessary additions to the spot sales at advanced quotations. Deliveries to- day were elevated about 3sA while spots were marked up 32 with transactions amounting to 10000 bales On this side there was immense realizing of profits on long con- tracts at the advance which prevented prices from reaching dhe Scent level. though they scared perilously near that figure. The week ly statistics were exceedingly bulish and the tendency of receipts continues distinctly smaller, but efforts were made to force matters on these issues. bulls evidently being satisfied in the belief that such developments would prove effective in due time without sistance. All offerings to realize profits were readily absorbed, however. without Judging prices Closing quotations are points higher on this crop and about 3 points lower on the next.
 The movement beyond dispute has fallen of is now wondering if this is correct indca- tion of the subsequent course of receipts. So far as the extent of consumption is con cerned the relative excess in reduction of S6.- GOO bales in the visible supply for the week as compared with last year. rather signifies that the worlds requirements are decidedly larger than current estimates. Altogether the nature of events has augmented the friendly feeling toward the market and it will not quire much encouragement to send prices higher

NEW YORK. April 4.-The continued light movement has been the chief feature in the market during the day and the more bullish feeling thus engendered has beon considerably cncouragcG by the evident disposition on the part of Liverpool market to attribute the fall ing off to exhaustion. From the opening the market has been under the sway of bullish influence, perhaps more completely so than for some time past. Liverpool came in un- expectedly strong, estimates for tomorrow con tnue lght and preliminary figures for the weeks into sight showed more favorahly than had bein anticipated. The strength was. thercfcFc, not surprising though a continuation of thJ shorts covering noted yesterday was perfSps chiehy instrumental in the advance. t'c.hnlission houses were also buyers during tde early part of the session. The south has recently been having more favorable weather gressing but until reports of the coming crop begin to exert their usual influence on values th, market will undoubtedly be large. lN goVernnh by the daily movement.
