New York, March 2S.-The stock Marx

which the quiet closing and tho small
net changes in prices give little indica-

slaught on prices after an unsteady
opening and succeeded in dislodging some
heavy blocks of stock. which were in a
vulnerable position by reason of calls for
additional margins and by stop loss or
dcrg placed below the market. The un-
expected increase in reserves disclosed
by the bank statement caused anxiety Oh
the part of the bears, and they bought
to cover in an urgent manner, causing
violent rally in prices. There was a
notable quoting down after the princi-
Pal demand from the bears had been
satisfied, and the market wavered again

CSDccial to News and Observer
New York, March 28.-Thc bull clique
evidently bought in Liverpool to-day on
an effort to offset bearish news, such as
the break in stocks and the strike in
Lowell. But this did not start any new
business here, and only served to at
tract selling by those who covered at
lower prices. The weather map to-day
revealed unsettled conditions, but an area
of low pressure in Texas yesterday has
moved off the coast and the high area in
the North has come down. This is IA
vorable for clearing conditions, and. too
the full effects of the strike have yet
to be encountered. These influences are
against bull speculation and for this rea-
son the strong figures fail to bring in
buyers. The visible supply shows de-
crease as compared with last year Of
$50. 900 bales in American cotton. This
is the strong feature and until we have
more cotton coming from plantations
there is not likely to be much of break.
The policy of the clique seems to be to
support July on decline and then sci!
out on any advance This holds the
market and they don't want it to move
very much. Certainly not up. for this
would attract cotton here, and not down,
because that would make the load too
heavy. AS long as cotton fails to come
out on larger scales, we would sell cotton
on bulges, especially August. But this is
not market to sell on breaks, it is
rather to be bought in order to sell
again. There will be opposition to an
advance for some weeks. Then if cotton
fails to show up from the plantations the
May clique will have everything their
own way.

NEW YORK COTTON

New York. March 2S.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of
to points, which proved to be the sign
for a selling movement under which
most of the advance was lost within the
first hour. The English cables, which
reported an advance of 4G512 points
would have justified Il rise of Sos points
at New York, but tho room traders goi
the impression that the English market
had been manipulated from this side. Al
the same time commission houses were
badly off for orders.
As the figures of to-day's receipts and
the movements for the week supported
the position of the bear contingent to the
the effect that only good weather was
needed to heavily increase the movement
there was some disposition to sell for
short account. To-day's weather news
was regarded with some Indifference al
though cloudy to rainy weather was re-
ported over the central belt with fore
casts for rains tomorrow in most OF
the cotton States east of the Mississippi
and for generally fair weather West.
There was no strike news of consequence
and but little interest on either side OF
