STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 1.-The stock mar
ket dropped back into an apathetic
condition to-day and moved in an ex-
tremely sluggish and hating manner
throughout the day. The high money
rate to-day was evidently the deter
rent influence on speculation. When
the call money market was seen to be
quite as stiff as yesterday there was
some selling of stocks by yesterdays
buyers in consequence.
The whole market was strictly pro-
fessional. The days developments
were not important and seemed of
little influence. The sub-treasury
statement, as expected, showed that
the payment of yesterdays draft for
relief purposes in the Philippines re-
sulting in making good to the money
market the previous sub-treasury drain
since Friday. Some further benefit
to the money market is expected from
the payment of government interest.
There is still confidence that the move-
ment of money in the immediate flu
ture will be to the advantage of New
York in the way of release. of funds
accumulated for dividends and inter-
est. A seasonable return flow of money
from interior points is also expected.
But there was perceptible to-day in
the speculative sentiment a recur-
renee of the fear that heavy corporate
requirements are waiting to absorb
any increase in credit resources. The
disturbance in the loan market to-
day was attributed to the payment of
subscriptions for Chicago and North
westerns new stock In the time
money market lenders show a DISPOSE
ton to restrict their loans to within the
six months period the obvious purpose
being to have the maturities come
when the fall demand from the inte-
rior for funds begins to withdraw mon
ey from New York again.
The hearing to-day of the proceed
ings to make permanent the injunc-
ton against the voting of Union Pacific
holding of Southern Pacific stock,
caused a feeling of suspense and a
desire to await the decision. There
was some renewed heavy selling of
Pennsylvania. The dissolution of the
injunction against the Wabash engin-
GERS strike as the cause Of some liqui-
dalton in the Wabashes. Sugar suf-
fered from the reduction in the price
of refined grades to meet yesterdays
cut by competitors. There was a vio-
lent and unexplained break in Color
ado Fuel with an effective rally.
further decline in discount rates was
regarded with satisfaction. Heavy
exports of grain made a good supply
in the exchange market and a sharp
break in the cotton market it was
hoped would increase the foreign de-
mand. The market closed dull and
irregular.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, April lin the spot
cotton market the trading done was of
the imperative order character, fac
tors refusing to sell unless full board
prices were obtained. Quotations un-
changed.
In the future market to-day the
bulls met with a bitter disappoint-
ment. The Census Bureau report on
the cotton production Of 1902 instead
of being bullish as had been expected
was for a time generally regarded as
bearish and prices a few moments aft
er the report had been read dropped
10 to Is points on very light trading.
Previous to the reading of the census
report prices were at a decline on real
izing. The board at the close showed
net losses of 13 to II points ON old and
10 points on the new crop months.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, April 1.-The market
opened with sales of May at 9.76c, SIT
@S.7Sc; closed 9.67c. and after selling at
9.656D9.6 &c ruled at 9.67c at 1 p m. The
census report from the ginners has had
the effects of adding to the growing
feeling that the crop had been under
estimated. On its publication the mar
ket broke some 10 points with the long
interets selling heavily. A slight rally
occurred without bringing in any out
side buying, as the receipts at the in
terror towns are double those of last
season. Liverpool sent large selling
orders which supplied the short inter-
est, remaining uncovered after the adj
vance of yesterday, and showing how
they looked at the report. The mar
ket has the largest long interest. as
the cotton is now hedged there and
not here. The effects will be to encour-
age the spinners to continue their
hand-to-mouth policy The close was
steady with arbitrage brokers buying
to resell in Liverpool tomorrow on
the wide parity between the two mar
kets. The spot market was, quiet,
points decline. Sales for consumption,
80 bales; middling, S.SOc; last year,
5000. May closed, S.67c; last year,

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 1.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at unchanged prices
to a decline of points under disap-
pointing Liverpool cables which, due
to show an advance of to points,
were but to points higher at the
time of the New York opening Fol-
lowing the initial decline, however, the
market rallied to 5 points as a result
of covering based on the lighter re-
ceipts estimated for the day and the
light estimate for to-morrow's arrivals
at Houston. But as prices reached the
closing level of yesterday there was
considerable liquidation and the mar
ket hung steadily for a time, then
shortly after midday broke sharply on
the government ginners' report. This
report figured as an influence in both
yesterdays market and in the early
market to-day, the trade generally
looking forward to a bullish state
ment. The actual figures, however.
proved disappointing as they pointed to
a commercial crop of LOTS 1882 bales or
1887, 16S bales of 500 pounds. Owing
to previous inaccuracies natural to
such an estimate the trade were in.
clined to make an allowance of a vary.
ing amount for underestimates and the.
figures were accordingly given a very.
bearish Interpretation. The imme-
diate effect on the market was break
of from to 8 and this attracting
fresh pressure from the break was la
ter increased to a matter of 1O@17
points below the finals of yesterday.
But the port receipts for the day were
light, being only S,S17 bales, against
13,4S5 last year, and the exports
heavy footing up Bolts bales. This
feature, in connection with uncertainty
as to the view Liverpool would take of
the crop report, caused some uneasi-
ness among the shorts and the market
recovered a few points of its loss, clos
ing steady at a net decline of 9@15
points, which was a little more than
sufficient to offset the net gain of yes
terday. Total sales futures estimated

effort. Single hens have sold in this
country for as much as $500, while in
England $1,000 has been paid for a
single specimen. The breeder does
not depend for his returns altogeth-
er upon fancy prices for his individ-
Hal birds, however. He profits by
the increased productiveness of his
focks. For instance, in the matter
of egg-laying it may be cited that the
average American hen lays about 100
eggs per year. The practical poul-
try man goes in for better results
and gets them. Numerous ms lance $
show whole focks with an average
of 200 to the hen per year-an in
crease of 100 per cent.-Leslie' >
