New York. April 20.-Heavy interior
receipts. large estimates for Galveston
and New Orleans tomorrow and weak
ness in Southern spot markets account
for another decline today of Is to Is
points on May and July from which
there was recovery of to points on
profit-taking before the close. AS the
market declined, there were many orders
20 buy On a scale down in Octol or and
December there was notable demand sup
posed to be for large exporting house.
August also continued to attract inves-
tors and suffers relatively less from
the backset 1t was said that 1000 May
sold today were for account of Southern
parties who are shipping cotton here to
be delivered The reluctant manner in
which Liverpool of late has followed our.
declines operates to widen the differences
between the two markets, and is bringing
them nearer working parity. The mar
rowing of premiums between May, July
and August is also making for healthier
situation. Still there is so much yet to
be done in both directions before normal
conditions are restored, and as only
through declines does it seem possible
to reduce the premiums, we must look
for still lower prices. The weakness of
spots throughout the South is sufficient
argument for the moment against the
claims that spinners are bare of stock
a. anxious over their future supply.

New York. April 20.-There was at
least a temporary change in the outlook
today. The pool furnished little support
and everybody furnished cotton. This
Gaused a sharp break and a very weak
market July and May were the weak
est while August and October ruled fair
ly steady, considering the weakness else
where. October only lost few points
This is to be expected If prices are not
to decline it will be May and July most,
August less and October least of all
There was heavy selling today with bears
hammering and stop loss orders reached
Receipts at interior towns were about
double last year and at Galveston and
New Orleans for tomorrow twice last
years figures. This brought out cotton
and caused increased opposition to the
market A great many look for a de-
cline as the weather gets better and the
movement increases. For this reason We
would sell August on any bulge, but
would take the profits on any decline We
don't know that the May affair is ended
and until the evidences of the end are
Forthcoming, the market should only be
sold on good advances. Port receipts
for today estimated at 1000 bales,
against 9,473 bales last year Estimated
receipts for tomorrow At Galveston
5000 to $500 bales, against 3,947 bales
last year; at New Orleans $500 to $500
bales, against 4728 bales last year and
at Houston $500 to 1900 bales, against
$3.50 bales last year.

counted for by the decrease in the amount
Of American cotton aioat for Europe.
About 100 OOO bales of cotton was landed
on the other side, and lodged on spinners'
hands. 1t is now estimated that foreign
spinners hold 100000 bales more than at
this time last year, whicn accounts for the
extremely bullish visible supply figures.
With a continuance of good weather at
the South, there will undoubtedly be a
continuance Of the decline in cotton.
There are many reasons why the price
should decline now, and the only thing
to prevent it is a wet May AS we have
said for several days past we think that
cotton is an excellent sale for handsome
profits

New York, April 20.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices
to a decline of 4 points under heavier
estimates for the days receipts and con-
tinued liquidation, but after the decline
had extended another point or two on
the active options, the market was rallied
by covering which resulted in the ad-
vance of values to level about points
lower to points higher as compared
with last nights finals This proved to
be the best price of the day, however
and was followed by further liquidation
and selling for the short account, as
result of the favorable weather noted
throughout the South and indications
that tomorrow's port receipts would again
exceed those for the same day last year
while the volume of exports showed
decreasing tendency. The decline was
assisted by the weakness in Liverpool
which at one time was to points lower
and closed 1-2 to IL points higher
There was little support in the market,
the clique remaining passive for the time
being and prices were forced down to
level 3 to Is points below the closing
quotations of Saturday with the new
crop months showing the greatest rela-
tive frmness. The into sight for the
week is being estimated at $4,000 bales
