New York, April 2.-Liverpool came
higher instead of lower this morning
and it was not until after the opening
Of the local market that prices abroad
declined about two points. Even this
was recovered, so that the foreign mar
ket failed to respond to our break of
yesterday. We cannot go beyond the re-
turns and assign reasons for the strength
abroad. 1t may be that the people over
there fail to see anythin bearish in the
census report. Again it may be the bull
clique was doing it's utmost to hold the
present price. But the fact remains that
the price held and this brought in shorts
before the market here had been under
way half an hour. At first there was
not much covering but later the pit COW
cred with rush and May ran UP to 9.85
as compared with 1853 at one time yes
terday. July did not respond in the
same way and May had to drag the other
months up. This is not a good sign,
but on the other hand the position ap-
pears stronger every day, and until the
May people give up they Will hold the
price. Weather is better. so that receipts
are larger. All this operates against
much of an advance in August. We would
sell August on good bulges for a time,
but would always cover on breaks as
long as the May interest remains intact.
Cotton futures today ranged as fol-
lows.

New York, April 2.-The discovery Of
an error in the running account of the
certificated stock of cotton in New York
which reduced the certifcated stock by
5000 zales, caused quite a furry in May
cotton and a sympathetic advance in July
and August 1t was a very strong mar
ket throughout the entire day and closed
at the bottom.
We think on every little set back now
it will do to buy. Prominent spot in
terests tell us that they attempted to
buy 10000 bales of good graded cotton
to fill some contracts this week and they
have secured so far only 5000 bales and
had to pay 10h cents for some Of them.

lions. The tone of the market was
heavy to weak throughout. The motives
which prompted the professional OPERA
tors are difficult to discern The South
ern Pacific quarrel kept alive a fear
that a speculative duel might be pre-
cipitated in the stock market itself
with probably disastrous consequences
to many innocent onlookers. Another
disturbing factor was the renewal of
liquidation in Pennsylvania, carrying
1t back to last weeks low level. The
selling received renewed impetus from
the February statement of net earnings
which showed the expenses increased
more than twice as much as the increase
in gross earnings. The net earnings for
two months are in consequence over a
million dollars less than for the same
two months last year. Taken in con
nection with Union pacific's February
statement published on Tuesday show

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, April 2.-The cotton mar
ket after an active session closed firm
with prices at about the level of the
day. The opening was firm at an adj
vance of SOS points and following the
call worked up a little higher on bet
ter Liverpool cables than expected and
covering in connection with foreign de-
mand, but soon turned easier under
heavy estimates for the days receipts
and favorable crop accounts. Under the
influence of these factors which an
couraged renewed pressure from room
bears, the market declined to a level
about 2 to points under the opening
figures, with the late months showing
comparative weakness being more spe-
cially affected by the favorable report
of new crop progress. At this level,
however the market turned very firm,
chiefly as result of more bullish in
terpre.ations placed on the census bu-
reau report of yesterday and during the
balance of the session displayed a gener-
firmness of Liverpool was taken here as
Indicating that the trade adbroad were
inclined to regard the census report as
bullish document This view of the
situation was strengthened when mes
sage was received from Washington
stating that the report included all cot
ton ginned from the 1902 crop, whether
or not that cotton had been ginned
prior to September l. 1902. This naturally
made a considerable difference in figur-
ing available supplies still to come for
ward and was responsible for much of
the days advance Another factor ex-
erted which had some sentimental effect
of nearby positions, was the correction in
the cert ificated stock marking the
amount 1907 bales available for inn
mediate delivery on contract, though il
made no material alteration in the total
SUPPLIES. Port receipts for the day were
9,26S bales, against 1891 bales last
year and the reports were small,
amounting to only 64S5 bales. Total
sales futures estimated $50 600 bales.

New York, April 1.-The dry goods

refraining from making liberal pur-

large, there is no desire to speculate
and purchases are made simply to sup
ply current needs. Jobbers trade has
been a little more brisk owing to the
