Murphy & Co... Cotton Letter.

New York, April 14.-Local cotton
prices showed2 to points advance in
the early market. Cables were better
than generally looked for and a con-
siderable short interest is suspected
as having been created on the Iiquida-
ton of last week by big concerns who
are believed to control the market. The
census bureau figures based on reports
of ginners throughout the South were
made public and these indicated a crop
of $685., 900, and helped to advance
early prices, although the receipts at
the ports promised to reach 1900
against 5000 last year. Rain fell to
nearly inches at New Orleans and
was general over the entire cotton
belt A downward movement followed
the opening and the whole market set
tied several points under Saturdays
final figures. To-day's weather reports
especially bringing in many New Or
leans selling orders. Cables were to 8
points lower. The figures of the gov
eminent published yesterday, indicat-
ing a crop of 9.952,O0O bales, according
to ginners returns is regarded as de-
serving of support. On the other side
it must be borne in mind that the gov
eminent figures on Srd last, claimed

favorable our market opened 2 to 8

of the few freezer receipts caused a de-
cline of to higher but near the
close fresh buying oocasioned an inn
provement of to Z from the bot
tom, the net gain being l to points
on the day. The deficit of $1,000. 600 IN
the English budget for the currency
was instrumental in the decline of
silver and consols. The rate of silver
has declined steadily from 2S, a year
ago to "a, 11-16 a present or nearly
seven cents an ounce in American
money. This naturally curtails the
purchasing powr of China and all
countries in the far east that are on
a silver basis, and will therefore have
a tendency to curtail Lancashires
trade with them Receipts are on a
more liberal scale, still the opinion of
the majority of traders is that the
out turn of the crop will range about
10,0O0,000 and especially as the Census
bureau makes it 9,953,000 many are
averse to following the advance above
8 cents but sentiment is very bullish
and with any encouragement from out
siders values may enhance further.
Receipts and prospects of the next crop
will however, be the principal factors
in determining the further course of
the market.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April f4-The cotton mar
ket opened, steady with prices to 8
points higher, the near months leading
the rise. This Improvement was due
largely to a fright of ring shorts, who
had Saturday anticipated weak Liver
pool cables. Contrary to expectations,
the English market started out quite
steady in tone, with prices about 1
point better than anticipated. Again,
further talk of peace in South Africa
helped to alarm bears here. Neverthe-
less, soon after the call, heavy Wall
street and commission house selling,
chiefly July and August, weakened the
whole market. The decline which fol-
lowed the turn to sell was accelerated
by a sudden sharp break in the Liver
pool market and by foreign selling
orders. Rumor had it that South At
rican peace prospects were not so fav-
orable, while heavy port receipts, lib
eral estimates for to-morrows re-
ceipts and reports of soaking rains
where most needed in Texas, combined
to undermine bull confidence. Not I'M
til May reached S.S6c, July S.SSc and
August 8.73c was there any sign of a
change for the better. While dull dur
ing the early afternoon the market
picked up in point of activity toward
the close. With. the increase in bust
ness came new buying orders, and an
attempt on the ring shorts to secure
profits, This demand found near
month offerings singularly scarce and
as a result May shot up to s.95c al
most in as many minutes, with Au-
gust up pointss'.to S.7Sc. A prorif-
nent spot cotton ghouse was an eager
bidder for May; Wall street bought
May and July, while the trade, as a
whole, bid for August. The close was
very steady with near months net to
Z points higher and far months net
unchanged to points lower

The cotton markets were featureless
to-day. with limited trading in the
actual stuff at all spot centers. At
tention was directed to the conduct
of things at New York, where prices
are still being twisted in all conceiy-,
able ways to facilitate the operations
of spectators. To-day one end of the
list went up and the other down, and
this see-saw movement naturally caus-
ed hesitation among those looking to
the futures market as a guide to mar
keting. All near months were up to
points, while far months were down

Among the trade there is considers

preliminary crop statement as made up

a crop of 9,952,000 against an estimate
early in the season of 9,674,000, or a
difference between what the crop APP
