Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York April 24-In the early cotton market prices were a shade better, but there was not much doing. Cables were quite satisfactory and there was dis position to wait developments. The fact that the clique were apparently disinter- ested observers left the general trade in a state of suspense, as they have so ire quently appeared In an unexpected fash ion and caused sharp bulges or breaks. The map today revealed perfect weather condition in the absence of rain, This can be regarded as satisfactory, but a quite contrary view Is entertained by some, and the feeling is gaining ground that rain is needed. Whether this Is sound view or not the idea prevails hence a disposition to support the mar ket as long as the weather keeps dry and to sell in the event of raln. 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 inspires steadier tone Philadelphia was buying the distant months today, Ellison of Liverpool Issued n bearish report, and our stocks gained 27,0O0 without influencing prices. Cables were from to points advanced. Port receipts 5000 against 1000 last year,

cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By c. ". Lee Co.,
 New York, April 24.-Next weeks mar ket is likely to present more interesting features than anything that has de- yeloped this past week. Tuesday will be the first notice day on May contracts, and everybody interested in cotton in the local market is anxious to know just how much the bull clique will take or how much the holders In that option can stand. Of course it may turn out that the shorts really have not the cotton to de- liver, and in this event the effect upon the market could not be but decisive. But whether cotton is delivered and taken or not delivered and covered in the open market, the interest will be just the same. For this reason developments during the past few days are in the nature of past events with everything to look forward to next week.
 We cannot but feel that the bull crowd is still long enough for May cot ton to make trouble in this market,
 Of course this may prove entirely con trary to existing facts, but there has been nothing in recent trading by the so- called New England brokers to furnish us sufficient reason for changing our views For this reason we would rather not undertake obligations in May or July, and would only sell August on the most favorable advances. On the other hand in the event of weakness in October, we cannot but feel that there Is money to be made In purchases on weak spots.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The cotton market continued quiet yes- terday and there were no new develop ments There Is nothing doing In spot. although futures are sufficiently lively.
 There Is nothing new to report in the local stocks and bonds market Prices were steady yesterday.
 Morris avenue was quiet yesterday. There were number of country wagons bringing in poultry and produce, but the quantity was Insignificant when compared with the shipments arriving by the rail- roads.
 Eggs remain up in the air. Poultry is normal with the supply limited. Butter Is about the same for all grades.
 The amount of cabbage now being con sumed in Birmingham Is something enor- nous. P. Giacopazzi has single order out for twenty-four ears of the vegetable to be delivered within the next three weeks. Over half of fhis shipment is already sold. This order was given by only one firm. Of course all the other produce firms are buying on similar heavy demand Twenty-four cars con- stitute a long freight train and all of this shipment will be consumed by Birming- ham.
 The fruit market Is without feature. There were no new developments yester- day. There are no apples, but lemons. oranges and bananas are fairly plentiful.
 The wholesale staple groceries market was steady yesterday.
 Hides and wool remain unchanged.

FIRST NOTICE DAY NEAR
Toward the Last Hour Prices Dis played Firmness, Reaching a Level of fl to 1s Points Above
 Yesterdays Close.

New York, April 4.-The cotton mar ket opened quiet at unchanged prices to an advance of points. Immediately fol- lowing the call some of the months eased off a point or two. but the list as whole showed decided strength under the bet ter Liverpool cables, rather light re- ceipts for the day. and continued com- plaints of checked development in the cotton belt as a result of the lack of moisture in some sections and rather low CT temperatures than desirable in others. There was also considerable talk of re- newed manipulation In May by the bull clique and as the first notice day ap- breaches the small stock of certified eot- ton naturally causes the shorts some anxiety. Speculation was very quiet dur Ing the larger part of the session, how ever, and prices for a time showed only moderate gains. Then the demand quick ened on receipt of the moderate estimates for tomorrow's receipts at leading points, and while the larger insight for the week was forthcoming as expected, It's effect had been discounted In the trading of the preceding day. In addition to the small CT estimates for tomorrow, the Liverpool market closed net to points higher, the best of the day in that market, and the recent advance in bar silver was thought likely to lead to an increased de- mand for cotton goods from silver eoun- tries. These considerations led to an ac- tive market toward the last hour and prices showed great firmness, reaching level Il to IS points over the closing of yesterday with May selling at 1O.40. From this there was a slight recession under room realizing, but the market was final lv steady, net 1G@13 points higher. Total sales futures estimated at 25,000 bales

New York, April A-Coffee-Spot quiet; Rio quiet; mild duiet; Futures opened steady at a partial advance of points under realizing by recent sellers and the moderate average of Brazilian port re- ceipts. Trading was very active and the liquidation of nearby months became more pronounced with the advancing session, so the prices failed to hold the initial irn- provement, but heavier interior receipts sold off and was finally net unchanged to 5 points lower. The level established another new low record with May selling at s.65 against 3.7O yesterday The foreign markets responding to the local decline of yesterday were not factor and the main cause of the decline was apparently the desire of nearby holders to avoid actual deliveries.
