The Power Behind the Buying.

[Granger Farweu & Co.'S telegram
NEW YORK, April 9.-The feature of to-
day was, OF course. l.. & N. and there are
many theories as to the cause of the ad-
vance. A majority of people seem to think
there is quite a short interest locally as
we'll as in London, and it is stated that
calls have also been sold freely by English
men. The power behind the buying is gem
orally believed to be the Western comb-
ration, as it is called. Southern Railway
had a squirt late in the session and diff
ferences of opinion exists as TO whether the
old Southern Railway pool is advancing the
stock or whether ii is the Western crowd.
In any case il is said 800 shares were
traded i'm on the advance. Commission
houses have been doing little in l.. & N.
but outside of this their business has been
small to-day considering the volume of
transactions. The condition of the market
now is almost entirely the result of manip-
ulatiOn, and its course cannot be predicted
with any degree of success. 1t looks to-
night, however, as though l.. q y. and
Southern Railway would both be higher to-
morrow unless money rates should get out
OF bounds.

THE ADVANCE IN COTTON.
Higher Prices still Predicted by the
Bull Leader.

NEW YORK. April Q. 19O2-Mr. Theodore
II. Price, who has been buIling cotton
since il sold al : cents per pound. and is
now the recognized leader of the present
enormous speculation in cotton, in an inter
view this evening says that it is his conf
dent belief that very much higher prices
for cotton Will be shortly reached Mr..
Price is regarded by some as the James r.
Keene of the cotton market He bases his
belief in higher prices upon the remarkab bic
prosperity of the country and the impend-
ing settlement OF the war in South Africa
He says that the figures OF the visible sun
be startling and sensational and will fully
confirm his earlier predictions of a cotton
famine Mr.. Price introduced into the situ-
alton a fresh bullish factor. His reports in
dictate that the new crop is about three
weeks late and that there is a substantial
reduction i'm both acreage and fertilizers
Mr. Price says that the world consumes
delay i'm the maturity OF the new crop
means that there will be an additional con-
sumption OF 715.Oo0 bales 10 be supplied out
OF this years already inadequate supply
Mr. Price says that il is obvious that ex-
listing stocks OF cotton Will be more than
consumed at the present rate Of consume
ton and that cotton must inevitably go to
a figure which viii check this CONSUMPTION
He SAYS that two years ago, when the no.
ises 10 be this summer. cotton sold at -
cents per pound before there was any
substantial diminution in the worlds TAX
ings He says that IL is therefore impOs-
sible 10 name a figure at which the advance
is likely TO stop.

PRIVATE WIRE ADVICEs.
Whole Market Carried Upward by the
Advance in l.. tS n.
rMever G. Kiser.s Teieeram.l

Meyer & Kiser's Teiegram.l
NEW YORK, April 9.-The five point adj
vance in L. & n. to-day carried the whole
market with it, 1t was strong from start
10 finish. There were a number of rumors
current regarding the advance in Louis
vile. of which was that the large buying of
il for the past few days and to-day was
by the Morgan interests for the Southern
Railway Company. The common stock of
the latter was dealt in largely to-day and
advanced liz points on buying by the same
interests. The coal stocks, such as Read
ing, Ontario & Western. Norfolk & West
ern, Chesapeake & Ohio, were strong on
buying, supposedly by the same interests.
Mr.. Morgan's safe arrival the other side
must have had some significance in the
large purchases made for the various sys-
TENS of railways in which he and his fol-
lowing are largely interested. The buy
ing of Wabash issues, Wheeling S Lake
Erie and St. Louis q Southwestern was at
tributed to the Gould interests, and was ex-
planned by the Wabash getting an Eastern
outlet TO the tdewater through the
Wheeling & Lake Erie and Western Mary
land. The earnings OF the Wheeling q Lake
Erie justify a dividend on the first pre-
ferred Of per cent. Among the specialties
General Electric advanced points but
will be given 10 the stockholders in the
new issue of stock. WESTINGHOUSE
Electric advanced Is points more
to-day with some reaction at the
planned. While money rates continued firm
the market closes very strong, and. as pre-
dicted in our letter yesterday, we believe
higher prices will prevail. The enormous
trading in L.. & n. and other standard is
sues foreshadows a broader and more &C
