COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 6.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of TO
points and ruled active and excited,
under further covering of May and
July shorts. Immediately following
the call here May was forced rapidly
upward to 10.34c, this being IA points
beyond the highest previous level of
the season and July selling and $3.50
also surpassed previous records so far
as the present stock was concerned.
The advance was almost entirely due
to the covering of shorts, though at
intervals through the day the market
was supported by the bull clique.
Southern news as to new crop pros
poets continued bearish and this ex-
erted a depressing effect on the new
crop options which were neglected
during most of the session. But while
the port receipts for the day turning
out about 12,675 bales, \against 1914
bales last year and the estimated re-
ceipts for leading points tomorrow
were moderate, thus encouraging buy
ing, when May had reached 1886
there was a mometarily halt and val
ues sagged back d little under realiz-
ing. Then the list turned stronger
again and May was rushed up to
10.3Sc, with the general market at
that time showing an advance of from
to 26 points on the active options.
After this the market, while generally
firm became somewhat irregular. 1t
was thought that the heaviest short
interest had pretty thoroughly cover
ed and this was regarded by some of
the holder room operator as a signal
for fresh commitments on the short
side while it also checked covering by
those who had thus far stood by their
short contracts. There was also some
further realizing by room longs who
preferred taking profits to carrying
their operations over night, and prices
worked back few points, but We're
again rallied just before the close
which was steady at a net advance of
to q points, and with May selling
at 10.35c, and July at $3.50 was within
2 to points of best on the two OPP
tions. Total sales estimated 1000
bales. The Liverpool market was not
a factor in to-day's trading. At the
time of the local opening it was just
about as due on the New York close
of Saturday, but later turned firmer
in response to advances here and
closed net to Az points higher.

part by the advance in futures, the
spot cotton, soon after the opening, de-
veloped great strength. Quotations for
ordinary to low middling advanced hc;
middling and higher grades advanced
3-16c.
In the futures market to-day the
operators were seemingly making eff
forts to keep pace with New York. May
June and July opened s to points
above Saturdays closing, and on the
second call had gone well above 10
cents. The market advanced steadily
almost throughout the entire session.
The board at the close showed net
gains of q points on April; May, June

to the Southern Pacific quarrel regard
ing corporation policy in the DISPOSE
ton of earnings, but there has been
an uneasy sense that the questions
raised in the dispute carried a threat
of grave consequences to many far
reaching arrangements by railroad cor
porations. The question of the right
of railroad corporation to own stock
OF a competing line is one that involves
some of the most important arrange
ments made during the recent era of
building up of community of interest
amongst railroads. The judicial de-
cision refusing to make permanent
the injunction issued against the Union
Pacific interest was accepted as en-
couraging by holders of securities. The
disposition to realize was emphasized
by the granting of an appeal to a
higher court and the indefinite post
ponement of the Southern Pacific an
nual meeting. Immediately after the
announcement of the decision Union
Pacific rose 2h over Saturday. Most
of the active list at that time showed
gains of between 1@2 points, with
Pennsylvania, ST. Paul and Canadian
Pacific conspicuously strong
AS a result of the late selling move
ment, nothing but fractions were left
of these advances and the tone at the
closing was easy and intensely dull.
The decidedly easier tone of the call
money market was also an influence in
the early strength of the market.
Money rates were lower in London,
and there was a disappearance in the
exchange market here of bankers loan
bills. Bankers in the time money mar

Spot cotton closed &c higher at to-
days closing on the better tone gener-
ally, caused by the rise in contracts
at New York. This is the first re-
Spouse the local market has made to
the recent upward squirt in contracts.
The smallness of the offering stock is
also a very strengthening factor. In
the f. O. b. market the demand was
fairly good, with the country asking
anywhere from 10Ac to 101ac, and with
the trading basis for G. M. 10Ac.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

New York, April 6-Harris, Gates &
Co. say to-day, in their cotton letter:
"There was a lively scramble among
the shorts to-day to cover their July
and August sales. July was the
strongest month on the list, advanc-
ing &c points, against "a points for
May, and 16 points for August, while
the later months advanced from to
IL points. Opinions on the near po-
sitions are of little value, in view of
the manipulation, and while these
conditions last the later months are in
danger of short scares, which would
carry these months higher Temporal

H., b. & Co. Cotton Letter.

New York, April 6-Cotton Ex-
change, New York, April 6: Our mar
ket opened with sales of May at 10000
10.2015c, closed 10.35c, and after selling
at 1037c and 10.3Sc, ruled at 10.34c at
p. M; steady. Sharp covering of
both May and July began at the open
ling and continued the entire morning.
1t was estimated that fully $4,000 bales
of short interest in these two months
were covered. This demand was met
by slow realizing by the bulls on the
advance. On the present basis cotton
will come here from the Southern in
terror markets, in fact it's nearly at a
point where it could be brought back
from Liverpool. 1t is the absence of
the stock here and the relatively low
price of this market which has
brought about this covering ait time
when the entire statistical position is
growing weaker. This condition has
been recognized for some days and
led to a sharp advance. The close
was firm at nearly the best prices,
with the trade looking for substan-
tiaI reaction tomorrow. Market
steady. Spot market was quiet at 20
points advance.

money and mercantile paper do not
show the relaxing tendency yet. Some
very favorable showings of railroad
gross earnings for the fourth week and
month of March had an encouraging
influence The increase by Missouri
Pacific over the corresponding week
of last year amounted to rs per cent,
that of Norfolk and Western to % per
cent, Southern Railway and Central of
Georgia 10 20 per cent, Chesapeake and
Ohio 16 per cent, while for the mar
ket for Mobile and Ohio's gross earn
ings rose 20 per cent. and New
York Centrals 81 per cent Notwith-
standing the high level of operating ex-
penses such increases in gross make
a striking showing of railroad pros
perity. The reported settlement of the
Wabash labor dispute had soothing
effect upon the prevalent apprehension
over the labor outlook.

1ubernatorial candidates, i'll reply tC
1;en. Jastremski's letter asking that all
the candidates unite in a request to the
State Central Committee to meet al al
sarIv dav and order general Democra-
tic primary election throughout Che
State for The purpose of nominating
them directly, answered it the other day
and saws that he is opposed to general
State primary nomination but faVors
parish primaries to be held on the same
date in every parish for the election OF
delegates TO State nominating conVen-
ton. TO he instructed or not as.the peo-
ole may desire. He is opposed to NOM
inallon by direct primaries for many
reasons among them the dlscord en-
rendered BY long drawn out primary
campaigns; the expense that two or
more primaries entail, as it is Improb-
able that any candidate would receive a
majority on the first primary; the diff
nculty of lnsuring fair treatment OF a
candidate in certain parishes where he
might have but little following, and be-
sides he is firmly convinced that the
people can carry ont their wishes as
truly and as certainly in II convention
properly regulated and conducted as in
primary.
AS TO the power conferred upon the
Governor which JaStremski seams TO
think excessive. Mr.. Price believes that
the powers have been conferred for wise
reasons and have not been abused or
employed in manner detrimental to
the public service. Having regard for
the constitutional functions and prero-
gatives Of the three separate and indie
pendent departments of the government.
he believes the manner of filling the va
rlOus offices to be matter of legislative
rather than of executive discretion and
the people Of the parishes e!ectlng di
Iectly their own representatives III both
Legislative houses, the question can be
safely trusted to them.
