Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Tuesday, April IA.
The cotton markets about lost
their gains of yesterday on to-day's
operations, which brought New York
down 5@23 points, and New Orleans
qa19 points. Savannah spot closed
ouiet and steady and unchanged, with
sales light and the demand dull and
Indifferent. Inquiry for cotton for
through shipment was also limited,
with no urgent demand existing in any
quarter for supplies. The offerings
we're fairly free.
The naval stores markets closed
with turpentine firm at 4914c, and ros-
ms firm at the decline. The demand
for both was considered satisfactory.
In some quarters a better feeling ex-
ISIS on the belief that the export de-
mand is stronger than at any time
since the new season opened.
New York stocks closed steady, with
some recovery in parts of the list fol-
lowing yesterdays declines. Details of
the different markets as follows:

ter, apparently that market was sup
piled by Egyptian and American hold
ers through realizing sales. Here the
opening was steady and for a few
minutes the market held until the
arbitrage operators who have been
long here began to reverse their oper-
ations. Under this pressure and SELL
ing by the bulls the market slowly re-
coded, some very heavy selling by the
bull leaders was made at about the
lowest point to another leading bull
from the South. The semi weekly
movement at the interior towns was
heavy, with an increase in the stocks
pointing to a. large in sight movement
for the week. Local traders regard to-
days decline as a reaction and an at
tempt to prevent cotton from coming
here. At one time cotton could have
been brought here from Liverpool
Heavy selling by the bulls continue

NAVAL STORES.
Tuesday, April IA.

TUESDAY, April IA.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 491ac bid, no sales, and
closed firm at 4914c, sales 65S casks.
The demand appeared to be some bet
ter, and factors took a more favorable
view Of the situation. Talk of the for
NAL opening up of the export demand
was heard, and the belief freely ex-
pressed that from now on the pros
poets are for fairly liberal taking of
the offerings if the demand as now
indicated holds out. The receipts were
1854 casks, of which 694 casks were
Savannah factors net receipts. The
exports were none.
In connection with the exporting of
turpentine from Florida ports the part
cargo of the steamship Zeeburg, which
cleared at the Custom House to-day
with 1000 barrels of rosin loaded at
Fernandina. may be an indication of
the way this business is to be conduct
ed. The idea has been that steamers
for this port would touch at Fer
pandina and other Florida ports for
naval stores, and then come on here
for their regular cargo. From the
way the foreign movement has started
it appears that there is something in
the belief. At Fernandina preparations
are understood to be making for the
extensive handling of the products
there. The S. P. Shooter Co., are said
to be building wharVes, sheds and
equipping terminals for the storage
and handling of their stuff independ-
emily.
ROSINS-The market opened I'M
changed, with no sales, and closed
firm at the declines noted below. The
demand was fair. Sales by factors
were 2,39S barrels. Receipts 1850 bar
rels, and the exports 1850 berrals.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. April 1.-THE downward
course of stock prices was turned to-
day by the influential support in face
of continued heavy liquidation at the
opening. When the heavy outpouring
Of stocks was once stopped the bears
began to look about to secure stocks
to cover their short contracts. In the
earlier stages of the recovery this was
done in a very leisurely and indiffer-
ent manner, but towards the end Of
the day the buying for bear account
to cover became decidedly urgent.
The turn against the short account
was furthered by the circulation of
a rumor just before the close that
several alternative plans of reorgani-
zation for the Northern Securities
Company had been devised and would
he laid before the authorities at Wash
ington with the purpose of compromis-
ing the governments suit against the
company by arranging a status to
conform with the law and thus avoid
an appeal of the case to the Supreme
Court. This story was promptly de-
MED, but this denial did not reach the
floor of the Stock Exchange before
the close, so that the alarm of the
bears was unallayed. Previous to that
time there was marked decrease in
the volume of business as prices adj
vanced and little inclination to follow
the advance on the part of buyers.
The tone of the market during the
opening struggle between the two
speculative parties on the exchange
was extremely feverish and irregular,
the bidding up of prices being con-
stantly met with heavy selling, while
at the declines the buying orders were
executed with increasing determine
ton.
A substantial recovery in Northern
Securities on the curb at the OPEN
ing and a subsequent relapse to near
last nights level had quick sympa-
thetic response on the Stock Exchange
and a final recovery to abo8t s8 con-
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-04-15

firrned the steadier tone Of specula-
ton on the exchange. Final prices OF
the principal active stocks were from
one to over two points above last
night.
London did it's first trading in stocks
this morning since the announcement
of the Northern Securities decision and
the break in Americans there this
morning. although violent, was not
sufficient to bring prices down to last
nights closing level here. The OPEN
ing decline here therefore offered in
viting opportunities for buying on
arbitrage account and London took
about $4,000 shares on that account.
The extreme alarm regarding the con-
sequences of the Northern Securities
decision, which was so prevalent yes
terday, was quite absent to-day. Very
little attention was given to any other
consideration in the days recovery.
Bonds rallied sharply In sympathy
with stocks. Total sales par value. $3,-

unchanged on the last call.

and sufficiently large to make it inter

prices were sos points below yester-
days closing. May opened points
down, at 1031c, and then advanced 9
points until it sold 4 points above the
closing of yesterday. Toward noon it
was points below the closing and IL

the other active months. At the close
the market showed net losses of 8 to

er as a result of fresh purchases of
May by the bull leaders and of fur
Their covering of shorts. The action CT
the bull pool in forcing this level was
apparently for the purpose of securing
a Better selling level, for when May
reached 10.60c and July 1017c, the
market broke sharply under heavy
liquidation, which was apparently
chiefly for this account The decline
was encouraged by the liberal receipts
for the day, which turned out 1929
bales against 1884 bales last year,
and by the rather bearish compari-
sons afforded by the interior move
ment. The later cables from Liverpool
also were a factor in the weakness. In
order to conform with the New York
closing of last night Liverpool this
morning was due to come about to
Is points higher, instead of which
opening prices there were only sos
points higher and the close was at an
advance of but 2@31a points. Still
after a. decline of about 9012 points on
the active old crop positions the mar
ket was again rallied by the clique,
who seemed to be operating for the
purpose of scalping fractional profits.
On this advance prices We're marked
up 10 points on May and then followed
q fresh wave of selling again led by
the bull party, which carried prices
rapidly downward. This decline re-
ceived a slight check during the first
part of the last hour due to room
covering, but was quickly resumed
and the market was finally steady at
a net decline of 5@23 points, that level
being within point of the lowest for
May and July. AS has been the case
recently the new crop months were
generally quiet, attention being CEN
tered on the May and July develop
ments. Speculation to-day was slight
ly more active, sales of futures being
estimated at 100000 bales, but re-
manned largely professional.

disappointing in view of the advance
in this market yesterday, but prices
were well sustained at the opening,
yielding shortly afterwards under the
pressure of general and extensive Of

there was a sharp reaction, followed
by a still further break on open sell
ing by the bull leaders. The move
ment in the fall months was relatively
unimportant, with a slight loss for the
