 NEW ORLEANS. April i3.-There was q time not very remote when extended period of holiday closure in Liverpool implied com parstive idleness in American markets. but affairs in this respect have undergone q re- markable change. and now instead of waiting for suggestions from abroad. there Is an appa- rent determination at home to proceed to busi- nees in a serious fashion regardless of such extraneous influences. Thus in the absence of comforting offerings, and with visic7tS = ma nipulation ahead, shorts felt a desire . s'. t. which when satisfied showed a shar.. advance the natural result. Fluctuations. followed. but subsequent trading was of nature to sus- tain the rise A peculiar fact in the present situation is that notwithstsndin the level to which prices have ascended. there appears to be little or no opposition of a serious character to the upward course. Sentiment seems to be generally In favor of higher prices and it looks like decidedly adverse developments will he necessary to change this feeling. yet the ner- vous tension in Wall Street at preesnt and the possibility of serious complications in the Balk- ans should forbid excessive sanRuinitv- In such case the best policy Is to play safe.

 There was q strong opening in wheat due to covering by shorts. who were under the i'm pression that the bull campaign which devel- oped last week would again he in evidence to- day and May was unchanged to kc higher at source the price quickly advanced to 76h, but when it became apparent that the leading long was holding off, there was considerable selling by commission houses which resulted in a break to 75A. The market until late in the day was extremely nervous. the local crowd being easily influenced by the slightest move of the last half hour of the session and May closed unchanged at 75h. July closed un- TX. Ths visible supply showed a decrease of I,7s4ooo bushels. Clearances of wheat and flour were eaaa, .e to oc c's 100 bushels Primary year ago.

 There was a good trade in corn and the sen.- timent prevailing was of a buish character the wet weather being a strengthening factor at the start on the unfavorable weather and on the small receipts and with but light offerings prices were well maintained The close was strong with May asc higher at 433s. after rang ing between 42K and 43h.

 Oats were fairly active and the market was firm throughout the day. the scarcity of of ferings being the main feature Commission houses bought July freely. while May was in good demand from scattered sources.

Best point In both these de- iIveries was attained in the last half hour out all day in anticipation of setback, lost neart and covered. The bull leader operated m m person and the principal bull operator of New Orleans was also active. Spot houses were rather frec sellers of May at above l0.45. the inference being that deliveries were in- TOT the movement. being showery in all parts or the south The absence of English cables Iestricted business somewhat. but were lost sient or tn the general activity attending the May and July upturns.

a. 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS April t3.--Notwithstand- ing the weekly statistics were all bearish. market opened 3 points higher on May and oqT up on the other positions. Fresh buying subsequently, occasioned an additional advance or IO@22 on near months and 4G6 on late Realizing later superinduced decline of 4d6 on near positions. on September and on other options, making the net gain loa is points on old crop months and 3G5 on late. Tho spinners' takings of American cotton dur ing the week were i8e. 900. against POI .oOo last year proving that they pursuing a hand to- mouth policy. The statistical position has also weakened somewhat during the past three weeks. The New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle in its last issue of April tl. on page 6I6. commenting the stua- ton. says: "The movement of the crop has advices received from Central and Northern Texas state that picking and ginning of last season's crop was still going and 1t Is be- lieved will be reflected in an abnormaliy large movement of cotton during the early Summer months. when planters will be able to turn their attention from preparations for the new crop and freely market old crop cotton on late pickings. etc. such prominent features in the current crop year. can be reconciled with the Idea that the crop Is no larger than the Census Department report made 1t last week. As we interpret the facts. 500. 900 bales would seem to be much safer conclusion" This however. for the moment has had effect upon the market. the rnanipulators are under the article and ignoring all legitimate features. We again strongly ad- wise 'ur friends against operating in the old crop months on either side owing to existing mi ntpulation and would suggest trading in the new crop positions as they will be influenced by weather conditions
