 NEW YORK. April 27.-The, local market for cotton futures today opened firm In tone with first prices at an advance of 3g4 points. This was a surprise to the bear people and practically since the cable news was decidedly less favorable than had been looked for. The receipts continued to run full and the cli- matIc conditions all over the belt were regard ed as favorable to the best interests of the cot ton plant The bears were quite nervous, and covered on a liberal scale. The nearby de liveries attracted the bulk of attention and naturally there was great deal of talk in circulation with regard to the bull party. There was evidence of fresh activity on the part of tho suliy following. and the response was with great deal of force. On the better levels there was good profit taking, but for a time all cotton offered was well taken The New Orleans element was good seller of the october delivery. though some few buying or ders were received from the Southwest to buy cotton on the reports of lack of moisture. Out side buying generally. however. had little ef- feet on the situation. attention generally be- ing directed toward the bull element The latter appeared to be bold, and there was con siderable talk in circulation as to whether the buying was for the bull clique The bull ele- ment ls still carrying a big line Of the near by months. Just how long there Will be deal ings of this kind we cannot say. The spot markets today were dull.

NEW YORK. April 27.-The somnoient con- oition or todays stock market was significant oI the continued indifference of the general speculative and investment public.

 NEW ORLEANS, April 27.-According to cables Egyptians effected considerable ad. ditional liquidation in Liverpool today and their efforts in this respect were frightened by large buying by prominent spot house. The opinion was ventured that there was still a considerable interest to be liduidated for the Egyptian account, but if no greater obstacles are encountered In the process than have been observed in the past. the task should be a pleasure. The continuance of unreasonable weather and the development of a better spot demand at higher prices stimulated the tone of this market decidedly. Periodical profit taking and fresh buying resulted in nuctua- ticns. but the improvement was generally well sustained Leading bulls were active bidders at intervals and the offerings were rather limited. The peril of trading in Summer months (without ready access to spots) is emphasized with the passing of each day. It Is evident that some warm work Is ahead for those who have engaged extensively in such deliveries and the outcome is matter of conjecture. Meanwhile interest in new crop options is magnifying, Q good demand for these months has been attracted recently by reports of unreasonable weather impairing the pros poets Of the yield. at least as relates to its promptness, and punctuality seems to be an essential feature of the coming crop. Sellers of these positions in the weather will be ob- served and restrict the demand. It Is situ- ation replete with uncertainty.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Cotton opened 3d5 pcints higher, although cables were not to the mark, Mail reports of want of rain were quite numerous and in addition the Govern ment May failed to show any moisture of con- sequence over Sunday except at Charleston. The receipts w,re receiving but little atten- ton and everything seemed to hinge on the weather and the extent of the May notices to be issued tomorrow Sellers are still hold ing back, there is nothing to warrant aband- oning the long side at this time. The crop Is having a very late start, that is sure, and It may have still start unless rain comes soon no matter how large may be the yield. It Is believed that result of the prolonged wet spell early in the season and want of moisture now acreage may be considerably reduced at all events The opening of the season is anything but brilliant and the best element in the trade are shaping their course as regards speculation accordingly. The mar ket advanced sharply after the opening and trading was active, Cables were firm, 4q6 points ret advance Yarns at Manchester dull. Cloths freely offered. Port receipts were es- timated at 8. 900 against 5000 last year. The warehouse stock here has increased to 60 900 bales.

NEW ORLEANS, April 27.-Eariy Liver pool advices were not encouraging. but our market nevertheless opened 5Ql0 points high CT on old crop months and 4d9 on new in sympathy with the May manipulation in New York and subsequently, advanced 54l2 addi- tonal in the later improvement in Liverpool combined with fresh buying in anticipation of an unfavorable weekly weather report be- ing issued tomorrow. Realzing near the close caused a slight recession, making the net gain I59IS points in the near months and 7 G6 in the late. Beneficial rains fell generally throughout the eastern section of the Gulf States. The movement continues free. but with the manipulation going on in the old crop months opinions continue valueless Manches- ter cables say that during the past week busi- ness in cloths was difficult to negotiate, all though the turnover was somewhat improved owing to the fact that some sellers weakened and are more ready to meet the terms of buy CTS. Considerable lines have been booked for Calcutta and Bombay at little above the prices of December. We again suggest that our friends confine their operations entirely to the new crop months as they are active and will be regulated by legitimate influences

 NEW YORK. April 27.-The feature in cot ton today was the return of Suliy. Although the signal. was given, shorts came to cover their obligations and prices advanced sharply. Short covering extended into July and Au- gust and these months advanced with May. While influenced to some extent by the advance in the near positions. distant months ruled very firm on their own meyits. The feature In this line was an advance in October to a basis of 6% cents, 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 Sullv and the people represented by him are inclined to put on the screws. This may not create a 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 advance. the Sully crowd sold some of the July they took abroad recently and helped ease up the market. The average opinion seems to be that it 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 something more about this May affair.
