FRESH PURCHASES

 Generally Firm CABLES A TRIPLE BETTER Approaching Holidays Had Its Effect, and the Room Contingent Gov
 cred Their Contracts on
 the Short Side.
CABLES A TRIPLE BETTER

New York April 9.-The cotton market opened today steady at an advance of to points and following the call ruled generally firm under continued covering by May shorts and fresh purchases by the bull pool. But while as a result of these operations new high record for the sea- son was established in the May option, trading was comparatively quiet, with the developments in May and July attracting almost exclusive attention. The initial advance was encouraged by cables that were just a trihe better than expected but 1t was in the face of full port receipts for the day and continued favorable weather in the south. Outside conditions however, appeared to have little atten- ton and the bulk of the days business represented little more than a fresh scare Of May shorts. The approaching holidays had naturally some influence, as many of the room contingent apparently preferred covering to carrying their contracts on the short bid over untIl -aonday and risk possible unfavorable climatic develop ments. The buying was accelerated around
 
 rows receipts at leading southern points, and shortly after noon the high level of the day and of the season was reached when May sold at 10A July, however Ielling no higher than 99s, was at this time point under the previous high price From this level there was a slight re- action toward the close due to realizing and the market was finally steady, net 1 to points higher. Total sales futures estimated at 150,00O bales.

Charlton, Dec. ga fire alarm was
turned in about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and the blaze was located
in barn belonging to G. F. Stuart,
which was burned to the ground. The
fire department reported quickly but
owing to the high wind it was almost
powerless. However, the workers
were able to save the barn across the
alley, which if it had burned 1t would
probably have taken several residences
that were close. Mr.. Stuart's house
had narrow escape as it was. 1t was
very fortunate that the wind was
where it was as it carried the flames
and enbers between two residence that
are not very close together. The barn
was full of baled hay and water was
thrown on it until eight o'clock last
evening, when the boys finished their
volunteer job by filling a cistern. Mr..
Stuart estimates has loss at about
$500.
