cothran Q oo.,s cotton Letter.

By c. W Lee 6 Go.
 New York April 27.-The feature today was the return of Sully. Although the signal was given shorts came to cover their obligations, and prices advanced sharply. Short covering extended into July and August and these months ad- vanced with May. While influenced to some extent by the advance In the near positions distant months ruled very firm on their own merits. The feature in this line was the advaneee in October to a basis of sac. which sustained us in our opinion as to the value of that option on any decline in prices. It now looks as though shorts would be compelled to cover and that Sully and the people rep resented by him are inclined to put on the screws. This may not create wild market until later in the month, but there Is going to be trouble unless we get more cotton here in New York. On the ad- vance, the Sully crowd sold some of the July they took abroad recently and helped ease up the market. The average opin- ion seems to be that 1t Is exceedingly dangerous to attempt the short side at the moment. We would continue to buy October on any break, and would not advise short selling until we know some thing more about this May affair.

New orI.ans Cotton Market.

New Orleans April 27.-The spot cotton market was very firm and from the open ing hour several factors demanded an ad- vance of 1sc, and refused to sell at Sat urdays board figures. Influenced by the improvement In prices at Liverpool and New York, quotations here advanced an eighth on all grades. Sales 3450 bales, in- cluding $50 to arrive.
 Futures responded to the upward turn in New York, opened to points higher, prices fiuctuating quite rapidly at times and with decided trend to a higher level. May advanced 2 points to 1O.30; July. 21, to 10.36; August 10, to 9S9; September to 910, and October Il, to S.62. The market was quite active and prices re- ceded a few points during the day, the summer months at the close showing net gains of but 15 to IS points, and the new crop months to Il points.

FIRST NOTICE DAY FOR MAY YCONTRACTS Cotton Opened Firm at 3 to 4
 Points Advance.
POOL WAS URGENT BUYER
Closed Firm and Up to 5gs Points. Southern Spot Markets Were Gen. orally Firm, With an Ad-
 vancing Tendency.

New York, April 27.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to points, notwithstanding cables were barely up to expectations, and following the call showed continued strength under re- newed manipulation by the bull pool, which led to the expectation that the longs would call for actual deliveries on their May holdings. Tomorrow Is the first notice day for the May contracts and 1t has been looked forward to as a possible solution of the clique's intentions. The reappearance of the pool leader on the exchange today after an absence of about week and fresh buying orders from that source naturally caused anxiety among nearby shorts and covering be- came the dominating influence. It was stated that every effort was being made to increase the amount of certified cotton available for delivery and fifteen gangs were reported to be at work with the prospect of inspecting 300 to 400 bales per gang for the day This had little effect in checking the covering for it was said that the cotton was grading very poorly and that much was rejected, so that the advancing tendency showed no apparent halt until in the mid-afternoon, when July had reached 10.15, with the general list showing a gain over Saturday of from l to 22 points. At this level there was a lit- tie realizing and a recession of to 4 points, but just before the close the pool were again urgent buyers, largely of July, and the market was finally firm. net to 20 points higher, with July quot ed at 1014 and May at 10.54. The total sales of futures were estimated at 100000 bales
 While the early Liverpool cables were disappointing, showing an advance of only 1 to 21z points, later cables from there were higher and the close was firm at an advance of 4 to 5h points Southern spot markets were generally firm. with an advancing tendency.

eaxter G Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April H.-Cotton opened to points higher, although cables were not to the mark. Mail reports of want of rain were quite numerous and in addition the government map failed to show any moisture of consequence over Sunday ex- cept at Charleston. The receipts were re- ceiving but little attention and everything seemed to hinge on the weather and the extent of May notices to be issued to- morrow. Sellers are still holding back and there is nothing to warrant abandon ing the long side at this time. The crop Is having a very late start that Is sure, and 1t may have a still worse start unless rain comes soon no matter how large may be the yield. It is believed that as result of the prolonged wet spell early in the season and want of moisture now,

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
ON GOOD CITIZENSHIP

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Sept IL
After accepting the Antietam monu-
ment today President Roosevelt said,
an part:
II confidently predict that when the
final judgment of history is recorded
it will be said that in no other war
of which we have written record was
1t more vitality essential for the well
fare of mankind that victory should
rest where it finally rested. There
have been other wars for individual
freedom. There have been other wars
for national greatness. But there has
never been another war In which the
issues at stake were so large. looked
at from either standpoint.
ut now rests with US in civil life
to make good by our deeds the deeds
which you who wore the blue did in
the great years from 81 to '65. The
patriotism, the courage. the unflinch-
ing resolution and steadfast endur-
ance of the soldiers whose triumph
was crowned at Appomattix must be
supplemented on our part by civic
courage, civic honesty, cool sanity
and steadfast adherence TO the i'm

mutable laws of Righteousness.
There was no patent device for
securing victory by force of arms 40
years ago; and there is no patent de-
vice for securing victory for the
forces of righteousness in civil life
now. In each case the all-important
factor was and is the character of the
individual man. Good laws in the
state, like a good organization in an
army, are the expressions of national
character.
so in achieving good government
the fundamental factor must be the
character of the average citizen; that
average citizens power of hatred for
what is mean and base and unlovely;
his fearless scorn of cowardice and
his determination to war unyieldingly
against the dark and sordid forces
of evil.
'rhere are many qualities which
we need alike in private citizen and
in public man, but three above all
three for the lack of which no brill
liancy and no genius can atone-and
those three are courage, honesty and
common sense"
