,ocaI and TeIegraphic Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Wednesday,, April 16.
The continued firm tendency of the
.otton markets, and particularly the
,not markets, remains the feature of
ths Southern trade situation. Spots
showed further strength to-day. with
advances at all centers. Savannah rose
1lc closing firm. While there was no
large demand the unsold stock cannot
,robably be had for less than full
nrices. Shading prices is not popular
with those holding the actual stuff.
commenting on the market recent
renort says: 1.-THE market is acting
probably as we'll as could be expected
under the influence of realizing sales
and liquidation of the May option, with
the approach of notice day and the
heavy accumulation of certificated cot
ton in New York. The foreign markets
are under more natural influences, and
show no important decline, but are
indeed very steady with good spot
sales and reports of improving trade
conditions. The Southern spot mar
kets are all unchanged, but at the high
est level of the season. most of them
being about cents. Private advices
quote large inquiry against the rem
rant of the crop for April, May and
June shipments, and that offers are
being declined unless at top figures.
The larger port markets of the South
show no recession in tone, and it is
thought much of the cotton is held by
large speculative operators or spot
dealers against previous engagements
with sDinners. The New York mar
ket alone shows unsteadiness, and as
above stated we regard this the direct
result of the speculative conditions,
and the peculiar rules governing de-
liveries on contract whereby a parcel
of about 100 bales arbitrarily selected
by the seller as to grade and quality is
forced upon the buyer; this very fact
making the transaction undesirable
unless at sacrifice.
THE latest reports of the planting
conditions of the South continue to
be somewhat unfavorable, but beyond
the extraordinary drought which still
prevails west of the Colorado river,
there is nothing in the situation that
Iced be regarded as positively disas-
trous to the prospects for the coming
year
The turpentine market closed firm at
42Ac with the demand fair. Resins
closed firm, with no sales reported
The wholesale markets closed steady.

values prevalent should certainly be
an incentive for holders to ship cotton
here and the probability are that many
will do so If the present differences ex-
list much longer. Sentiment continues
bullish, but outsiders are not eager To
follow the advance for the moment.
However, the chances are that any
new or favorable feature in the situa-
ton may again attract them to. Re-
ceipts and the spot demand will con-
tinue to be the principal factors in reg
ulating prices.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton letter.


New York, April 16.-The weekly de-
issued by the government, came to
hand this morning, and while indicat-
ing satisfactory situation in the va
rious states. was not quite so brilliant
as many thought. Very little planting
is shown in Alabama lowlands, the wet
weather has interfered with planting.
Rain reports to-day were meager.
There was a slight fall at Oklahoma,
Fort Smith, Charleston and Savannah.
The highest temperature early in the
day was 40 at Corpus Christi, and the
lowest "A at Oklahoma, and 48 at Mont
gomery. On the whole there is Moth
ing in the weather or crop situation
thus far to elate or depress the con-
tending factions. The weather map
is closely watched, but there is feel
ing that the trade has been overwork-
ing the excellent condition of business
in dry goods and at milling centers.
Certain continental centers are express
ing bullish views after long period
of opposition, and active buying in
Germany is predicted at no distant day.
Early speculation dragged along at
slow pace. Port receipts were expected
to reach $4,000, against 1900 last year.
Liverpool showed no remarkable
changes. Buying on soft spots was
being advised. Generally summed up
the opinion is that the world will need
all the cotton made this year, and
present prices are deserving of sup
port with strong probability of decid-
eddy higher market as the season adj
vances. Generally fair weather was
indicated in the cotton belt, Liverpool
closed at unchanged prices. Selling of
May and buying of July comprised
most of the early transactions Frsti
mates for tomorrow: New Orleans O.
200 to 2,70O. against 1,005 last year;
Houston 2,10O to 1900, against 2,9O9 last
year.

"Will you kindly state how the American
flag should be displayed on Memorial day,
whether at the masthead or at halfmast? 1t
is very noticeable that most flags are at
halfmast, only few being mastheaded."
The Sun replied: "Army orders direct that
the flag when raised in the morning shall
be hoisted to the top of the staff and then
lowered to halfmast. After the salute at
noon, it is raised to full-staff, where it re-
mains until sunset. A similar procedure is
proper for private persons to follow"
