The semi-weekiy in- terior receipts at the i3 leading interior towns are determined as aggregating 24.ooo. against i5.ooo last year. The indications are for no loss in stock in these towne as compared to loss of l4.ooo last year.

There Is no inclination shown by any one to sell old crop options as it Is recognized that these positions are subject to manipula- tipn. The movement continues free and tho course of Liverpool during the excitement of the past three days in the American markets would seem to confirm the claims made that Er~lish spinners are pursuing a hand-to-mouth policy. owing to the accumulation of goods of their hands which are not meeting with Q ready sale.

lover Private Wire from Gilbert G Clay.l
 NEW ORLEANS. April 7.-Private cables from Liverpool today conveyed information of two-sided character. The general feeling abroad was said to be rather favorable to cot ton, though Manchester failed to respond to the advance, and home trade was represented as being poor. Thus the English market acted in e reluctant way. simply moving in the up ward direction in an exceedingly cautious man ner and manifesting no opposition to that course. There was prompt resumption of the frmness here and before 1t was prac- ticaliy realized. a sharp additional advance in prices was realized. Some realizing at this 1uncture resulted in a setback but the tone was sufficiently steady to cause a subsequent recovery and on the whole the recessions ap- peared to stand merely for idle fluctuations. In such conditions as tn ecotton market is sur rounded. hys at present fluctuations of material dimsnsions are likely to be observed from time to time. though 1t is quite evident that big bulls have acquired the advantage thus far. The Summer months will doubtless soon in- crease in warmth as these will present the ac- tual field of battle and determine which side is entitled to final victory. It Is not easy to forecast such an outcome. but is is quite safe to conclude that the fight will be prosecuted with greater energy than is ordinarily wit messed One should therefore be prepared for quick and violent action in assuming the risk of markets constituted.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, April 7.-Comparative quiet prevailed in the spot cotton market today. There were plenty of buyers about the sample rooma but as factors were asking full prices only urgent orders were filled. Sales l. $50 bales. Quotations unchanged.
 The future market was quite active at times during the session. In the early trading May advanced | 2 points above the closing of yes terday to 10. 20: July, I3 to 10 24; August, I2 to e.o3. and October. g to 6. 50. The advance was made on the same basis as yesterday; con- trol of the situation by the long side. Later in the day when the demands of shorts had been supplied prices eased off gradually until the close, when April showed net gains of 2 points. May.

 NEW YORK. April 7.-Today there were ex- citing times on the Cotton Exchange. May broke through its previous high record for the year. but the bulls were present in their action and establishing the general market on Q more normal basis There was a great deal of selling at the high prices. A great deal of cotton was being held in Boston for shipment to New York. Liverpool figured in the deal whereby 1t was expected to swamp Now York enough The ports today were fair. figuring all the way from 1 1000 to 5000 bales.
 The strike situation attracted little atten- ton. Spinners and exporters were moderate buyers of spot cotton. The export movement was regarded as satisfactory. The cables were disappointing. but little notice was given to tn estrength in May and July prices. The i'm difference of foreign element was the subject of confusion of opinions on this side.
