Especial to News and Observer
New York, April 29.-The significance
of yesterdays notice circulation was
rot disclosed until after the close of
the market There was a general inn
preston that the firm transactng bust
ness for the bull clique would stop the
May contracts for this interest. But
it seems that the New York represen-
tativc of the Philadelphia people took
some 80 900 bales of this cotton. The
May affairs begin to assume even more
Importance than the majority have been
to them. The taking of this
cotton by McFadden indicates a very
close alliance between New England and
Philadelphia spot people. AS far as the
Immediate course of prices is concerned
it Will doubtless be the policy of the
to keep May around 1850,
and we may have to wait another two
weeks before the screws are put on
There was very little trading of impor-
lance at any time today though the
average operator is against the market
There is a good deal Of cotton for sale
in the fall positions, but selling here
would appear to be rather precarious in
view of the two cent discount under
spot cotton We cannot but feel that
purchases of October on every decline
win show profits for buyers.

has fallen off to practically nothing. In
the meantime, however it is believed
that the new crop options, October and
December particularly, are oversold by
outside interest, which only goes to con
firm what we have repeatedly pointed out
that the enormous discount on the new
crop as compared to July and August is
entirely unwarranted. The semi weekly
movement at the thirteen leading interior
towns is nearly twice that of last year
Large quantities of low grade cotton are
appearing in the receipts throughout the
cotton belt This cotton will undoubtedly
find its way to New Yorw as 1t has for
many years past and this will undoubted-
ly narrow the differences between August
and the new crop options. The most conser-
vative interests are inclined to sell the old
crop and buy the new at the prevailing
abnormal discounts.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 29-The stock mar
ket was still restricted to very narrow
professional channel today, but it got
through the day without the recent Gus
tomary reversal of the course OF prices.
The market closed at practically the high
est level and with a notably firm tone.
The improved tone was largely due to
the sympathetic effect on the general list
Of very persistent absorption of the
Erie stocks which left the common IL,
the first rs and the End preferred 31a
higher than last night The report OF
earnings of the Lehigh Valley for March
showed q surplus after fixed charges OF

of last year of 1914, 116. Supplementing
the very favorable showing reported by
the Erie yesterday for March, the Lee
high Valley report had a stimulating eff
feet upon the coalers generally. The buy
ing of the Fries, however was of special
character and gave rise to various ru-
omrs, one of which pointed to an early
increase in dividend distributions. The
general market was inclined to hang and
moved in a rather irregular manner until
the persistent strength of the Erie de-
cided the general upward movement

We're inclined to react after yesterday s
short covering movement on the declared
validity OF the franchise tax Amalga-
mated Copper rose early in response to a
sharp rebound in the price of London
copper, but lost most of the gain when
the London copper market ran off. The

early effect on Mexican Railroad stock,
but they rallied in company with the rest
of the market The shipment today of

kept alive some conjectures as to a con-
tinued outward movement of gold.
With the announcement of the franchise
tax decision professional traders were
inclined to take the view that all of the
bad news Immediately expected was now
known and the market reasonably secure
against depressing factors. Money con
tinues TO work easier. There is little de-
mand for time loans for the shorter pc
RODS owing to the inclination to depend
upon the call loan market. For periods
carrying over the crop moving season
the demand is more general and rates are
HIihiS nero at per cent. for January
maturities. But supplies offering even for
the longer periods show an increasing
tendency.
The increasing supplies of money effect
the bond market more distinctly than
stocks. A wide variet.' of issues was
dealt in today although the price move
nent still continues somewhat irregular.
