commensurate with services required,

to cover their short contracts.
The announcement Of an engage
ment of $780, 900 in gold for export to
Europe had been made the occasion for
more general selling, but the shorts
in the general list were equally indis-
posed to leave their commitments un-
covered over night. The result was a
show of exceedingly small net changes.
Most Of these are on the side of losses
as the declines were not all complete

by the rally in the metal market. St.

higher on account of the report that

chalmers were forthcoming. New York
Central rose sharply at the last. Some
special weakness was manifest in
Southern Pacific and st. Paul, which
was the cause of some eager conjecture
on the part Of traders, who professed
to see signs OF influential selling in
those two stocks. The export of gold

higher to 2 points lower on the late
positions, the advancing tendency of
the near months being due to contin-
ued manipulation by the pool, while
the later positions were Influenced by
the rather disappointing Liverpool
cables, larger receipts for the day and
more favorable private crop reports.
Speculation was fairly active. but the
market did not display the excitement
which had been thought likely to at
tend the issuance of May notices.
About 10000 of these were estimated
to have been put out and as had been
anticipated they were promptly stop
ped by certain spot interests, who are
headquartered at Philadelphia. After
the first few minutes, however, during
which time prices had been advanced
point or so further on the active
options with May and July selling
within about points of the highest of
the season and August surprising the
previous high price by one point it
became evident that more or less real
izing was in progress, with the clique
said to be selling moderately, though
later it was a reported buyer of Au-
gust. The decline was accelerated by
a good weather map for the day, a
small export movement, dull spot mar
kets and port receipts, which reached
14,il1, against 12,909 bales last year,
and under these influences the selling
movement became more general, not
withstanding the rather less favorable
weekly report of the weather bureau.
Just before the close prices received
a fresh downward impetus as a result
of reported rains in Western sections,
where the crop has been under the
influence of dry weather. The close
was barely steady net 4@14 points
lower at practically the lowest of the
day. Total sales, futures, estimated at
$50, 900 bales.

pointing manner to-day and large rail-
izing orders at the opening carried
decline in the first half hour. On
the break the bull leaders came to the
support of August taking some twenty
thousand bales and advancing that
position above last evening. Outside
buying so far has not followed the adj
vance of yesterday, on the contrary
realizing has been the order The in
terror movement was again nearly
50 per cent. larger than last season
for the half week, estimates for the
ports were lighter for tomorrow.
Bombay receipts are double those of
last season. Yesterdays advance
pushed out the local short interest
in July leaving the market to-day
without that support. Crop report for
the week was poor, but as showers
were expected in Texas and over the
belt it was without influence. Re-
ports of rains over Texas and absence
of support from the bull pool brought
about the decline at the close. The
spot market was dull and unchanged.

The Morning News Office,
Tuesday, April %.
The cotton markets closed at the de-
cline to-day on some better Liverpool
advices and reports of favorable wealth
or from the crop country. The better
weather had dampening effect for the
reason that for some time past cold,
wet weather has prevailed in many of
the larger producing sections to the
detriment of the tender cotton plant.
The prospects for an improvement in
its development was therefore prompt

firm, with sales by factors of 101 bales.
From the country the offerings were

COTTON.

The spot market reopened to-day aft
err the holiday closing without special
feature. The demand was fair, though
not of a nature to exert any large in
fuence. The receipts were 1885 bales,
against 1 ,4S2 bales last year. The ports
got $4,000 bales, against 1900 last
year. The unsold stock remaining in
factors hands is understood to be
small, hence there is less interest with
the lesser supplies. In the f. o. b.
market a moderate demand was report
ed, with basis good middling around

New York. April 2s.-To-d days stock
market was very similar to that of
yesterday. except that to-day the pro-
fessional selling came early in the day
and the short covering later. But the
whole market was strictly professional.
The action of the New York public
utilities was striking evidence Of the
dominant professionalism of the mar
ket. These stocks weakened sharply
in the morning on the supposition that
the decision would be handed down
during the day affirming the validity
OF the New York tax upon their fran
chises. Immediately upon the an
nouncement that this expected decision
had been rendered, prices turned up

may become restless because of some
outward development as to the next
crop, which is already making a poor
start and may be far enough behind
later on to lead to a summer boom,
despite the talk of prices being high
enough. A large issue of May notices
had little effect on the market, which
was circulated after the opening. Ex-
pectation was that the market might
waver some in view of large advance
already established, but sellers were
still shy and all reports as to weather
and movement failed to make much
impression. Port receipts 1900 bales;
last year $500. Cables unchanged to

creased 1000 bales.
