STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 2.-The stock mar
ket to-day continued almost wholly in
professional hands and there was a
further dwindling in the volume of OPP
erations. The tone of the market was
heavy to weak throughout. The mo-
tives which prompt the professional
operators are difficult to discern. The
Southern Pacific quarrel kept alive a
fear that speculative duel might be
precipitated in the stock market itself,
with probably disastrous consequences
to many innocent onlookers.
Another disturbing factor was the re-
newal of liquidation in Pennsylvania,
carrying 1t back to last weeks low
level.
The selling received a renewed i'm
petus from the February statement of
net earnings, which showed the ex-
penses increased more than twice as
much as the Increase in gross earnings.
The net earnings for two months are
in confidence over $1,000, 600 less than
for the same two months last year.
Taken in connection with Union Pa
cifics February statement published on
Tuesday, showing a decrease in net
earnings of 3d. 474, there is a DISPOSE
ton to surmise that the recent liqui-
dalton in that stock may have been
frcm other than professional bear
sources.
The question of the action to be TAX

ing the dissolution of the strike in
junction is awaited as some concern as

In the interior, Southwest Louisiana
and Texas, reports are of former
tenor. The large number of the mills
have gone out of commission for the
season. Continued rains have inter-
fered with preparation for the new
crop, but latest advices note clearing
weather and work being rapidly push
ed forward.
Gables and correspondence from
abroad note no new features except

influence of these factors, which en-
couraged renewed pressure from bears,
the market declined to a level about
zoo points under the opening figures,
With the late months showing COM
parative weakness being more special
~ affected by the favorable report of
new crop progress. At this level, how
ever, the market turned very firm,

Expectations placed on the census bu-
reau report of yesterday, and during
the balance of the session displayed a
generally upward tendency. The un-
expected firmnesS of Liverpool was
taken here as indicating that the trade
abroad were inclined to regard the
census report as a bullish document
This view of the situation was
strengthened when a message was re-
ceived from Washington stating that
the report included all cotton ginned
from the 1902 crop whether or not that
cotton had been ginned prior to Sept
l, 1902. This naturally made a con-
siderable difference in figuring avail
able supplies still to come forward and
was responsible for much of the days
advance. Another factor which exert
ed some sentimental effect on nearby
positions was the correction in the GER
tificated stock making the amount 49,
567 bales available for immediate de-
livery on contract, though it made no
material alteration in the total sup
plies. Port receipts for the day were
9,26S bales, against 6,S91 bales last year,
and the exports were small, amounting
to only SASS bales. Total sales futures
estimated 250,000 bales.

was caused by the heaviness of the
Wabash stocks to-day. The decline
in Western Union has no other ex-
PLANTATION than the progress reported
to be making towards a commercial
basis by the wireless systems. The
sharp. break in the local copper mar
ket affected Amalgamated Copper. The
attack on Colorado fuel was professed-
ly based on the proposed bond issue.
Large customs payments, deposits to
retire circulation and some large mis-
cellaneous collections resulted in an
absorption by the sub-treasury yester-
day of $1244,0 900 in spite of the govern
ment interest payable. This proved
disappointment. The statements of
the great foreign banks for the week
reflected the enormous requirements
for the April settlements. A refiux
of funds to the market, however, is now
in order both in foreign money markets
and here, so that the Immediate money
situation is of declining Importance.
Bonds were weak. Total sales, par
value, 81 800, 900. United States new AS
declined a per cent. on the last call.
Total sales of stocks were 306, 700

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, April 2.-The spot cot
ton market was very firm to-day. Quo
tations unchanged.
Futures opened from to points up
under the lead of New York and later
gained points additional. Trading was
heavy in July. From the highest fig
ures of the morning there was a slight
recession on a quieter feeling toward
noon. The bears all seemed to have
news from the country. Planting was
said to be progressing, and some dis
tricts report were that farmers were
preparing to cultivate the largest crop
in years. This news was not at all
alarming to the long side which sees
nothing to be afraid of in the next crop
outlook. After frequent mild fluctua-
tions the board at the close showed net
gains of 9 to IA points.

SP1RITS-The turpentine market
opened with nothing doing" and clos
ed unchanged. The market has reach
ed its hesitating point, where buyers
apparently fear to take. With the
opening of the new season it was gen.
orally believed that the price was to
drop, and as factors do not want sharp
concessions a deadlock naturally re-
suits. When a trading basis will be
reached is problematical. Until then it
is improbable that any large amount
of stuff will change hands. The re-
ceipts are not such at the moment as
to hasten unwieldy accommodations in
factors hands. Receipts to-day 317,
and the exports 112.

we're backward inquirers. In the f. o.

Hubbard Bros. q Co.'s Carton Letter.

New York, April Our market
opened with sales of May at 9.73 As
and after selling at 9.S4@9.S5c ruled at
e.S5c at 1 p. m. A better demand in
Liverpool from Manchester steadied
that market from the lowest point of
the morning before our opening. Here
it was evident that the short sellers
of yesterday were not disposed to con-
tinue selling in view of the better for
eign advices than expected. Covering
began at once, only interrupted by
large selling order from Wall street
sources which carried July to the low
point At this moment Liverpool sent
buying orders and a rally quickly en-
sued especially on May, which is con-
gested, the long interest being con-
centrated in the hands of a Boston
firm of spinning brokers. This mar
ket is so much below the usual parity
with Liverpool that it reacts quickly
whenever covering begins outside
buying is absent as the trend of af-
fairs does not favor bull speculation.
Local traders believe we must more
nearly approach the Liverpool quota
tons Short covering in May con-
tinued to the close, which was firm,
with the trade expecting this demand
to bring about a sharp advance in
Liverpool tomorrow. The spot mar
ket was quiet, 10 points advance.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet, with the de-
mand showing little change from what
it has been for days past. The move

days receipts being zoos against 1856

I. 500 last year. In the f. o. b. market
a fair demand was reported, with ba-
sis good middling 3-1609Ac.

Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 2.-The character of
early cables was such as to lead to
good deal of support in the early cot
ton market to-day and prices opened
to higher. The census bureau figures
of yesterday were a decided surprise,
ard the failure of the pool to take a
bearish view of it, was the occasion
of no little establishment here. 1t had
been figured yesterday here that a
crop of considerably more than last
wear was indicated by the government
figures. People to-day were taking
more cheerful view of the situation,
and shorts were disposed to cover, feel
ing that there we're a good many fac
tions in the situation which leaves it
a very str0Rg one, especially the very
small stocks in New York. The wealth
or was still more settled, no stations
reporting any rain and the feeling was
that receipts are bound to pick up
considerably before long and farming
operations make great Roadway. In
spite os all the bear talk there is no
disposition to operate on the short side.
May made a sharp squirt of II points
the first hour and heavy covering fol-
lowed. Port receipts 10000, last year
1000. Closing cables steady at l to
advance. Yarns very dull. Not much
doing in cloths.

70 Whom It May Concern:

We the undersigned Manufacturers
of Carbonated Beverages have formed
an Association for the mutual protec-
ton of our property, viz: bottles and
cases, the loss of which during the
year last past has been enormous in
fact to such an extent that we have not
been able to pay more than running ex-
penses.
AS a matter of business. We will, on
the LIST day of July, 1908, inaugurate a
system whereby a strict account of bot
ties delivered to and received from each
dealer in Carbonated Beverages will be
kept, and at the end of each month or
as soon as possible thereafter our au-
thOrized agent will balance each bottle
account and should there be a shortage
he will collect for such deficit at the
rate of Five Cents per bottle; we re-
spectfully request each dealer in Car
donated Beverages commonly called
Soda Water" to cooperate with us to
the extent of requiring a deposit of
Five Cents per bottle where said bot
ties are taken away from their place
of business.
We shall on the above date discon-
tinue the practice which has been in
vogue for some time of giving any
extra bottles" on each dozen and any
