Deliveries were again reported practically vpehanged, but spots were quoted up -32 yith sales of 5000 bales The disposition here .b disregard any occurrences against the psafket was again clearly mani tested. The 'easiness of prices occasioned by LiverpoolA action attracted, good demand and pnder the persuasion of increasing strength in the spot department a sharp ad- vance was established from which there was recession of a few points under realizing of prohts by longs, Closing quotations are 3 points lower on next yield to 5 points higher on this crop. There appears to be no diminu. tfon ip the eagerness for spot cotton and. this Tact Is being reflected with greater distinct. ness upon the tone of contracts. The temper or sentiment is exceedingly bullish and specu- iattve support is rendered with surprising con hdence.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
INDIFFERENT REPoNsE TO DIS
 APPOINTING CABLES,
When Least. Expected, May Shorts Sought Cover, Wall Street Be- gan to Buy and New Orleans
 Market spurted Upward:

NEW YORK, April le.-The cotton market opened steady with prices unchanged to points lower. this beng an indifferent re- sponse to. very disappointing Diverpoo cables and 10 large receipts at the ports. Soon after the call the whole list eased of a point or lative support and under scattering sales by Wal Street commission houses. The new crop data from private wires reflected favor able prospects for the cotton alread- in the ground and told of active preparations over pretty much the entire northern portion of the belt. The weather conditions were ideal and there was less talk of acreage reduct ction. But as was the case yesterday, when least ex- pected, May shorts began to seek cover, Wall Street buying orders came to the front and the. New orleans market made an upward lunse, which surprised even the bull leaders here. For the balance of the day speculation was active with the general course of prices upward on covering and new buying. Soon moved up to 9.26, this being points above the previous record price for the season. New Orleans buying orders here helped to ad- vance May to soy; July to 9.o3 and August to 6.86. Towards the close the commission house contingent sold freely to secure profit and some of the more daring tralers went short on the theory that Liverpool will prove disappointing again tomorrow. The close was quiet and steady, with prices net 6 points higher to points lower. the new crop posi- tions alone showing the decline.

FINE TURNouTs FROM OUTSIDE
Minneapolis May Become Head of a
New Western Horse Show
Circuit.

DR.. G. D. Gray, manager Of the fall fes-
t1vities at Kansas City, Is now in Mime
apolis, comforting with r. F. Jones of this
city, and w. G. CARING of St. Paul. in
regard to the plans for the horse shows
which have been arranged In connection
with the trotting meets at Minnehaha
and Hamline during the two first weeks in
July.
DR.. Gray expressed himself as greatly
pleased with the energetic way in which
the preparations for the shows had been
carried out He voiced the opinion that
the exhibits in the twin cities this year
would not be surpassed by any horse
shows in the country, not even those at
Madison Square garden, New York and at
Narragansett.S# 4sas 49,
Among the southern and western men
who will bring fine turnouts to Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul, = said DR.. Gray, ARE
w. A. Rule, Of the First National bank of
Kansas City; John Cudahy, Jr., A. D.
Cottingham, G.. G. Christy, and A. E.
.Ashbrocok, Of Kansas City; George C.:
Palmer and Colonel John B.. Hughes Of
Denver; and Will Atkins and Dean Low
of Topeka, Kansas. All Of these gen
tlemen own fine stables, and the horses
which they will exhibit will be as fine
as any that can be found In the west.
I believe that the plan Of Offering spe-
cial prizes for classes open only to local
interest in the show
R. F. Jones. who is in charge Of the
Minneapolis exhibit, announces that the
club house at Minnehaha will be enlarged
and the grand stand provided with new
roofing before the time set for the horse
show. DR.. Gray will probably remain in
the twin cities until July, assisting in the
prepare tions for the horse shows. A con-
ference will be held this afternoon be-
tween DR.. Gray, Mr. Jones and w. G.
CARING Of st. Paul, to decide upon some
details that have not yet been arranged.
Minnea polls besides being member Of
the Southwestern Horse association may
become the head Of new western associ-
alton, which is in process Of formation.
The circuit will include besides the twin

ROTTEN TRANSPORT
The Grant Again in Need of Extern
siye Repairs.

San Francisco, May S.-The Examiner
says that the transport Grant will not be
able to make the trip to Manila for which
she was scheduled. The Grants boilers
were not able to stand the test to which
they were subjected by Inspector Bulger
and her hull is SO weak that it will take
good many new plates and whole lot
Of general structure strengthening before
she will be ready to serve as transport
again. The Grant has been in commission
since January, 1899, and has met with
no mishap, though she has. been laid off
five times for repairs.
The department purposes curtailing the
transport fleet and it has been decided to
lay off the Meade, Sherman, Hancock and
Warren. The Egbert and Rosecrans have
been put UP at auction already. This will
leave eight vessels plying between San
Francisco and Manila, the Buford, Crook
and Fitzpatrick, Sheridan. Lawton, Logan

He Is Appreciative Of Sanitary Work
Done by America.
New York May 3.-President- elect
Palma has made thorough inspection of
the civil hospital, says a Santiago, Cuba,
dispatch to the Tribune. General Joaquin
Castillo, who was the ub-delegate of the
junta in New York, is the medical direc-
tor of the hospital, and he acted as a
guide to the presidentelect. General
Whitside accompanied them. This hospi-
tai has been made a model and modern
institution by the United States, and is a.
good example Of the excellent work done
for Cuba during the American occupa-
ton. In the scrupulously' clean STREETS
and the sanitation of Santiago are found
the causes of the disappearance of yellow
fever and the reduced mortality rate.
General Palma was keenly appreciative
Of the enormous task performed by the
praise of the United States for the
healthy condition of the island. The gen
eral visited every department and asked
n any questions. He spoke pleasantly
with the patients and addressed the
American and Cuban nurses, thanking the
former for their cooperation.
At a dinner given by the chamber of
commerce, industry and navigation, Cen
eral Palma reiterated his good will and
Quesada spoke of the necessity for foster
ing trade relations with the world in gen.
eral. Lieutenant Whitside wished the
new republic God speed and said that no
one would like more than the American
nation to see Cuba prosperous and peace
full, Others at the table were Governor
Demetrius Castillo, General Joaquin Cas-
tillo, Mayor Bacardi and Senior Miguel
Rodriguez Morales.
General Palma has laid the cornerstone
at Plaza del Martyres for a monument to
be erected in memory Of revolutionary
heroes.

= CRITICISMS ARE UNJUST
Congressman Eddy Explains the
f Contracts Used in Norway.

From The Journa1 Bureau. Room 10. Poss
Building, Washington. -.rt.
Washington, May 3.-Representative
Eddy said to-day that criticisms Of his
action in bringing contract laborers from
Norway to Canada and Of the contracts
themselves are unjust. He said that
high officials Of every grade and the
wealthy classes in Norway are trying to
discourage emigration, even though the
business depression in that country is so
great that thousands Of laborers and me-
chanics are without work. On the ques-
tion Of importation of 1aborers under con-
tract, Mr.. Eddy said that this was only
the way in which people could be induced
to settle in Canada, as there is prejudiced
against emigrating to country in which
the monarchical form of government OBJ
tains. Discussing the contracts further,
Mr.. Eddy said: ...,- .~s
1.-The contract contains the following
provisions in substance: First, the com
pany agrees to furnish transportation from
Scandinavia to Sault Ste Marie, Ont, for
$50; second, to furnish employment to the
party contracting for one year at 81 a
day for the first 100 days, and $3.50 a day
