 NEW ORLEANS. April 2S.-Liverpool was not encouraging but our market, nevertheless, opened 264 points bighsr. shortly after. how eVer realizing occasioned decline of 3q5 points The unfavorable weekly weather ie- port was issued about this time and occa- stoned an advance of 46D6 points from the bot tom. Notwithstanding the pessimistic tenor of the weekly weather report fresh buying orders were not in evidence. therefore as liquida- ton again set in values eased off, making the net loss 5@9 points on the day. The summary of the weekly weather report was as follows: East of the Mississippi River early cotton has been injured by cold weather and much replanting will be necessary. Planting in this part of the cotton belt has progressed rapidly except in Mississippi. whereas in the district west of the river. planting although we'll advanced, has been largely suspended during the past week on account oI drought. Warmer and generally needed throughout the cotton belt and the cen- tral and eastern districts are in urgent need of rain." The movement continues free and spinners are epathetic owing to the large re- serve supplies held by them. The semi weekly interior receipts at the I3 leading interior towns are estimated as pointing to 23,ooo. against 26 900 last year and the loss in stock Indicated is 5000 against a loss of l2.ooO last year.

NEW YORK, April 26.-The cotton market opened steady with prices points higher on the near and points higher to 2 points lower on the late positions. but the advancing ten- dency of the near months being due to con- tinued manipulation by the pool while the later positions were influenced by the rather disappointing Liverpool cables. larger receipts for the day and more favorable private crop reports.

 NEW YORK April 26.-Well. as is usually tho case when extensive preparations have been made for event, 1t pases without any serious effect upon the market. Today was repetition of the old story, and the market either gained or lost as the result of between 20. oooand 30,0o0 May notices put into cir culation early in the day. These notices were issued by various people holding cotton and not caring to look after 1t themselves and the larger portion stopped by the bull clique The representative of the New England crowd said to this morning that he guessed all the cotton delivered on May contracts would b. looked after not only today. but any other day. The importance of this disposition to accept the actual cotton Is in itself very significant fact. At future day. the
 real importance of the announcement is likely to be felt by those who have contracted to deliver cotton during the month of May. A word to the wise is sufficient. Outside of the technical position. the real news of i'm portance came with the week weather report We are frank to say the reading Is not pleas ant The reports said that east of the Mississippi much injury had been done by cold and considerable replanting was neces- sary. In various sections planting operations have been suspend,d on account of drought Warmer weather and temperatures are needed everywhere and central and westrn districts ar in urgent need of rain. With Summer po- sitions being manipulated and the crop started anything but favorably, we don't see just what we are to sell in order to make money In fact. we would continue to buy October on every recession as heretofore.

 NEW ORLEANS. April 2S.-Cables stated that selling by Egyptians again interrupted the improving tendency in Liverpool. but the same prominent spot house was nt hand to absorb these offers. In the net result deliv- cries in the English market only gained l point. while spots were marked up 6 points amidst sales of 5000 bales. a fair business comparatively for this time of the year. Man chester advices said to be favorable, and while opinions divrs about this particu- lar feature. it is reasonable to doubt that the business of English spinners alone is i'm paired to a proihbitive extent by the pre- vailing price of raw cotton. There was con- siderable trading here. but mostly in the nature of realizing on previous purchases which forced prices back somewhat though big bulls rendered customary support and n ainlanded steady. The weekly crop report published today substantiated private ad- vices concerning the unsatisfactory progress of the new crop. In fact the fear was freely expressed that considerable replanting would be necessary This prospect is anything but cheerful as the trade will surely be in urgent need of an early movement of the new crop, especially if the claims about shortage of the old crop partly crystalizes into fact. The low quality of receipts is also matter de- serving of consideration Thus conditions ap- pear to continue favorable to the prevailing level of values.
