HIGH PRICE FOR COTTON.
Theodore Price Says His Predictions
Are Confirmed.

New York, April 9.-tSpeciaD-The high
est price reached this season for cotton
have today been recorded and the mar
ket closes at the top. Today's advance is
In my opinion but foretaste of what is
yet to come. The figures of the visible
supply of Friday will. I think, be start
ling and sensational. r. @. Dun e. Co.
say that their reports indicate decrease
of acreage and next crop with smaller
sales of fertilizer and a backward sea-
son. My own very exhaustive inquiry
fully confirms this.
The new crop is nearly three weeks
ate and the indicated acreage is six per
cent less than last year. The world con-
sumes $4,000 bales weekly. If the crop
shall prove to be three weeks late then
an additional 775, 900 bales will be required
out of this years supply already mani
testify inadequate. II consumption con-
tinues at the present rate. there will be
no cotton left by the 18th OF July as
receipts are falling of with an unanimity
and abruptness that is entirely confirm
atory Of short crop estimates. Two years
ago cotton sold at over eleven cents a
pound upon situation much less acute
than will almost certainly develop this
year 1t seems idle to anticipate the Gull
mination Of the present advance as long
as the consumption continues undimin-
ished. THEODORE H. PRICE.

Murphy G. Co lotion Letter.

New York, April 9.-While the showing
made by Liverpool this morning was gen.
orally considered a strong one there was
at the opening of the local market dis
tinct tendency to look for a repetition of
yesterdays dull and narrow trading.
This was soon overshadowed. however by
the pronounced advance in New Orleans,
attributed to shorts hurrying to cover
and the announcement of 300 to $50 bales
estimated for Houston tomorrow against
1419 last week and 1915 last year. These
influences were responsible for aggressive
buying both by shorts and commission
houses, under which the market advanced
rapidly all the months up to and in
Guiding July soon passing the cent
mark, which Is the point set by the bulls
for some time past as the level from
which spectacular advance of the season
was to be expected. AS the bulk of spec
ulation is still centered almost exclu-
sively on the old crop, the weather map
is attracting little attention except 81
so far as 1t seems likely to affect the
movement and there has been nothing in
this direction for some days calculated to
explain the light movement at Houston
and this, together with recent reports of
closing of congresses for the season
where little cotton is on hand, is indeed
well calculated to cause uneasiness
among the shorts particularly in view of
the broadness and persistency OF bulls
speculations.

PORT RECEIPTS
WERE LIBERAL
Cotton Prices Opened Very
Steady in Tone.
CABLES A TRIFlE BETTER
The Whole Market Exhibited a Very
Strong undertone, With Shorts
Excited Buyers-Closed
Firm and Higher.

New York, April 9.-The cotton market
opened steady in tone with prices to 3
points higher and for a brief time gave
no indication of making startling turns
in either direction, The Liverpool cables
were a trife better than expected but
port receipts were liberal and speculative
support was comparatively light 1t was
not until 1890 that positive strength de-
veloped but for the balance of the ses-
sion the market exhibited a very strong
undertone with shorts excited buyers.
All offerings were eagerly absorbed by
arbitrage houses, local export firms, COM
mission houses and room traders who
were urged on to this course by very
bullish late Liverpool cables and rem ark
ably firm advices from Southern spot
markets. Private wires stated that pre-
perations for the new crop were very
backward fertilizer sales were below the
average, decrease in acreage was like
ly and that exporters were picking up
every bale at prices offered, Lis to Il
cents above the quotations of last night.
Then come light estimate for tomor-
rows Houston receipts and sudden
jump in prices OF the New Orleans mar
ket. Offerings by "reactionists were
quickly withdrawn in the local pit, a
wave of general heavy buying set in and
only receded when May reached 90S;
July COS and August 1888. Even then but
a few points reaction followed with the
close firm and net to 5 points higher.
The New Orleans estimate for tomor-
rows receipts were large, but failed to
in any measure check the upward rush
of prices. Wall street was a large buyer
of August throughout the session.

New York, April s.-The expected hap

around the top prices, that is between
$50 and S.9S. that when Houston receipts
this morning was estimated at 300 bales
for tomorrow. the market started and
rushed through . cents.
The May and July options both advanc-

A feature was the advance In Liverpool

and In New Orleans to 80 for July.

landed July to 905 before the close. Sales
of spot cotton were heavy at all South
ern markets at advancing prices and the
demand keeps up at a rate that makes
higher prices extremely probable.
The short interest here against spot
cotton has gradually covered and some
of the cotton has been sold for consump-
ton. Now that long cotton has been sold
and taken around cents, it will be easy
to advance prices for the old crop posi-
lions. We should not be surprised to see
quite an advance for time as specula-
ton has set in day and is likely to
carry the price further.
