COTTON STRONG
 AND ADVANCING. Market Closed With Prices at
 Top of the Day INFORMATION WAS BULLISH
 - April Sold Several Times at Gents and Closed With Demand Quite Active-Port Receipts
 Again Very Light.
INFORMATION WAS BULLISH

New York, April 1.-The cotton market opened firm in tone, with prices to 5 points higher in response to surprisingly pullish Liverpool cables and generally strong statistical information from all quarters. Domestic information was quite as bullish as that from abroad. and for the time being everything seemed to favor the bull side. Yet after further ad- vancing to 4 points soon after the call the market followed an unusually narrow rut for the rest of the day. An enormous line of July cotton was sold out, consery- atively estimated at 100000 bales, around S.sS and S.s4. Philadelphia interests were heavy buyers of the May option, which at one time was selling 2 points over July August was eagerly purchased by brokers, believed to be acting for Wall street interests.
 April sold several times at g cents and closed at about the top, with the demand still active. Liverpool had beeh counted upon to come point lower, but instead advanced half point on futures and 1-a2d on spot cotton up to the time of the New York opening, and later further advanced 11t points on heavy general buying. Port receipts were again very light; prepara- tions for the new crop were said to be two weeks late: mules reported scarce; demand for cotton goods broadening rap idly; spot demand for raw cotton in the South was very urgent from spinners as well as from exporters; the Insight" for the week was given by the superinten- dent of the Cotton Exchange as only S4- sSo bales. against fJ0. 900 same week last year; the worlds visible supply decreased 1A,000 against a decrease same week last year of only 5000; the American visible supply decreased 120,00O bales for the week. against only 50,0o0 decrease for the same week last year. The close was steady at about tho top of the day on rear months. with a net rise of to g points. Il
 Late crop months were quiet and un- changed to 8 points lower. Favorable weather reports serve to depress new crop months in the absence of speculative support.

 The coffee market opened steady. with prices unchanged to points lower and for the rest of the session was dull with out further change.

Murphy 6 Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York, April 1.-The continued light movement has been the chief feature in thx market during the day and the more bullish feeling thus engendered has been considerably encouraged by the evident disposition on part of Liverpool to attri- bute the falling off to exhaustion.
 From the opening the market has been under the sway of bullish influences, per- haps more completely so than for some time past. Liverpool came in unexpected ly strong, estimates for tomorrow con- tinue light and preliminary figures for the weeks into sight showed more favorably than had been anticipated. The strength was, therefore, not surprising though a continuation of the shorts covering noted yesterday was perhaps chiefly instru- mental in the advance. Commission houses were also buyers during the early part of the session.
 The South has recently been having more favorable weather and preparations for planting are now progressing but until reports of the coming crop begin to exert their usual influence on values the market will undoubtedly be largely gov erned by the daily movement.
 Cotton Letter.
 New York April 4.-In some respects the days market was the most peculiar of the season. With the most bullish news imaginable August opened at 8.72dS.78 all day. July did very much the same, sell ing from Il o'clock till almost p. m. at S.93 and S.94. Considering the advance abroad and the 83, 900 bales in sight against 14S, 900 last year, the Houston estimate of less than 1000 bales for tomorrow, and the small receipts generally, traders were at a loss to account for the action Of the market today. July sold within a point or two of the top reached before, but did not get higher. July should have sold up considerably and gone over cents on the news at hand. The causes for the failure to advance was the enormous selling by holders of long cotton. We don't remem- a range of two or three points this sea- son. The general feeling is that holders who were compelled to stand by their cotton on a break of nearly 50 points con cluded they would take profits now that prices have reacted to the previous high level. This selling was the feature of the day next to the unaccountable strength of Liverpool and caused some uncertainty here later in the day. So much cotton has now been sold that in the event of light receipts next week prices will advance over cents very easily. Everything de- bends upon the movement next week. Bad weather will start things going again and bring about new high prices, but the dan eers of buying at the moment are many. The market looks as though 1t would go higher.

the final $4,000 in December.
