Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 24.-In the early
cotton market prices were a shade bet
ter, but there was not much doing.
Gables were quite satisfactory, and
there was disposition to wait devel-
opments. The fact that the clique We're
apparently disinterested observers left
the general trade in state of sus-
pense, as they have so frequently APP
peared in an unexpected fashion and
caused sharp bulges or breaks. The
weather map to-day revealed perfect
conditions in the absence of rain can
be regarded as such, but a quite con-
trary view is entertained by some, and
the feeling is gaining ground that rain
is needed. Whether this is a sound
view or not the idea prevails, hence a
disposition to support the market as
long as the weather keeps dry and 20
sell in the event of rain, especially If it
should occur in Texas. The movement
again appears to be tapering off at
least the big ratio of receipts is less
striking and this impairs steadier
tone. Philadelphia was buying the dis
tant months to-day. Ellison of Liv-
erpool issued a bearish report and our
stocks gained $1,000 without influencing
prices. Gables were from 3@4 points
advance. Port receipts, 5000, against
1000 last year.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 24.-The cotton
market opened quiet at unchanged
prices to an advance of points. I'M
mediately following the call some of
the months eased off a point or two,
but the list as a whole showed decided
strength under the better Liverpool
cables, rather light receipts for the
day and continued complaints of
checked development in the cotton belt
as a result of the lack of moisture in
some sections and rather lower tenn
peratures than desirable in others.
There was also considerable talk of
renewed manipulation of May by the
bull clique, and as the first notice day
approaches the small stock of certitl-
Gated cotton naturally caused the
shorts some anxiety. Speculation was
very quiet during the larger part of
the session, however, and prices for a
time showed only moderate gains. Then
the demand quickened on receipt of the
moderate estimates for to-morrow's re-
ceipts at leading points, and while the
larger into-sight for the week was
forthcoming as expected, its effect had
been discounted in the trading of the
preceding day. In addition to the
smaller estimates for tomorrow the
Liverpool market closed net 2@4 points
higher, the best of the day in that
market, ana the recent duNdnCe III Oe'1
silver was thought likely to lean to
an increased demand for cotton goods
from silver countries. These consider
ations led to an active market toward
the last hour, and prices showed great
firmness, reaching a level 11@1S points
over the closing of yesterday wish
May selling at 10.40c. From this there
was a slight reaction under room real
izing, but the market was finally
steady, net 1908 points higher. Total
sales, futures, estimated at 100000
bales.

days promised. The exporters APP
peared to be more anxious for sup
plies, judging from the inquiries re-
ported and factors were lead to be-
lieve that the conditions which have
brought about the declines of late
are to be modified. The week was
quiet on the whole, with no urgent de-
mand in any quarter, and much Of the
business that usually comes to this
market at this season being placed
elsewhere. The trade are, of course,
confirmed in the belief that no more
harmful influence could beset the To-
cal market than by depriving 1t of the
demand upon which 1t can alone look
for support. The weeks movement
was below that of last year, as will be
seen by reference to the table else
where. To-day's receipts were 4,345
casks, of which 494 were factors net
receipts, and the exports 5,135 casks.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet and I'M

sales were light, though the under
standing is that the unsold stock is
small and therefore affords little scope
for a large business.
In the f. o. b. market the demand
was moderate throughout the week,

to spinners in their Withholding from

The Morning News Office,
Friday, April "a.
The week closes without any radical
market changes, and with business on
the whole fairly active. This is the
season when inertia preparatory to the
general elections sets in, and the mar
l,ets usually tend downward to make
the upward start later on. 1t is the
time when the conservative are on
watch for stocks, which they pick up
around the low levels and appear con-
tent to hold for an improvement. Com
mission houses report considerable of
this class of business.
The cotton markets closed without
feature. Savannah spots closed quiet,
with the demand light and the weeks
trading along narrow lines. Offerings
in the f. o. b. market were light and

the wet and cooler weather cotton
was not growing.
The turpentine market closed firm at

1t has been for several days past. Ros-
