WALL STREET REVIEW
NAaKEr CONTINUES ALMOST WHOLLY IN PROFESSIONAL
 HANDS.
A Further Dwindling in the Volume of operations-Ths Tone Heavy to Weak Throughout
 the Session.

NEW YORK, April 2-The stock market to- day continued almost wholly in professional hands and there was further dwindling in the volume of operations. The tone of the market was heavy to weak throughout. The ] tors are diiieul%s % to 4iseeTn. @ on Tuesday % they bought stocks with money at i5 per cent in the confidence that the call money market was again. although there was a distinct reiaxa- tion in the call money: with a promise of a further growth of ease Some other considera. tions apparently had intervened which caused . question whether the easier money market was destined to benefit the stock market. The Set The % deve,cpments sad in this 0 eontroversy @ @ showed nothing to affect directly the value of the securities concerned but the bitter ties and the boldness of their hab,tual meth ods In stock market operations kept alive a runaor that . speculative duel might be pre- cipitated in the stock market itself. with probably disastrous consequences to many in nocent oniookers. Another disturbing factor carrying 1t back to last weeks low level. The selling received a renewed impetus from the February statement of net earnings, which showed the expenses increased more than twice as much the increase in gross earnings with a corresponding cut in the net returns. The net earnings for two months are in conse- the same two months of last year. Taken in connection with the February Union Pacific statement published on Tuesday, showing a decrease in net earnings of S4l3.474, there is a disposition to surmise that the recent H. ouidation in that stock may have been from other than professional bear sources The mildness of the demand for stocks for short account and the little help given to any rally in the market from the demand to cover em- phasises this impression. The question of the action to be taken by the Wabash employees following the dissolution of the strike in- junction is awaited with some concern, as was indicated by the heaviness of the Wabash stocks today The decline in Western Union had no other explanation than the progress reported to be making towards commercial basis by the wireless systems. sharp break in the local copper market affecetd Amalga- mated Copper. The attack on Colorado Fuel was professedly based on the proposed bond issue Large customs payments, deposits to retire circulation and some large miscellaneous collections resulted in an absorption by the sub treasury yesterday of Sl .24o. 900 in pit of the Government interest payable. This proved a disappointment. The statement of the great foreign banks for the week reflected the enormous requirements for April settlements. A redux of funds to the market. however.

The total marketed from Sept. list to March 3lst. inclusive. g. $40. 900. against 9.4o0. 900. or an excess of l60, 900 over last year. Analyzing the census, the report counts for us fin bales a crop of B. 9Io.oo0 for Texas and the Indian Territory 900 for the other Gulf States, a total of Io,S27, 900 bales. Many contend that the At lantic States will make crop of 1000. 900 win the same movement hereafter during the past three years. Therefore, they claim 400 GOO will have to be added to the lo,627,- a crop of l.227.ooo bales The Census ac- cording to their count shows the other Gulf States will ship in from now out TOOL 900. against 350,oo last year. Of course. all kinds of deductions being made from the census report but the fact remains that they including linters ,275. lo5 equal to o, 7S4. = 473 bales counting round bales as half bales These figures were larger than expected and have had tendency to make number par ties increase their crop estimates especially as 1t is known that their April receipt last Notwithstanding this, the fear of manipulation in the Summer months has checked speculation in these positions. The new crop months will be ruled by weather conditions.

 NEW YORK, April 2.-Cotton futures in the local market today opened firm in tone with first prices at an advance of 5G9 points. This action was the result of surprisingly firm ca bles from the English market, the market abroad advancing 3 points more than looked for. There was further gain in the local list, on the reappearance of buyers supposed to be operating in the interest of the bull syndicate. Shorts became active in the buy ing movement in consequence of the lighter movement the port receipts being figured at 10000 bales. The weather conditions were mixed some sections of the belt reporting fla vorable circumstances for the farm work others reporting further delay in the crop prep arations. The late cables from the English market were indicative of further gains abroad, and such news helped the local situa- tion materially. The South was a buyer good orders from New Orleans going to the long side of the account It was reported that the Wall Street bear element had decided to cover its short contracts on all easy spots and the knowledge that the shorts were becoming un- easy simply added to the courage of the bulls and many were disposed to hold on to their cotton contrary to their convictions The new crop positions were quite dull at times during the day. the most interesting developments oc- curing in the old crop months. The spot markets were steady. though the demand from spinners and exporters continued light. There were no new developments with regard to the New England strike situation, but the general run of advicss on this subject attracted very little attention, and he inference was drawn venienced by the shut down. The late market was quite feverish in view of a certain line of profit taking, but generally there was a rela- lively hrner undertone up to the close

 NEW ORLEANS, April 2.-The Census re- port evidently failed te indicate crop of sui f1cient size to satisfy English traders as Liv- erpool refused to proceed on the downward path in serious way. Spots dropped off 2 points. but the sales were increased to 10000 bales and deliveries actually advanced l point above yesterdays quotations. Freer offerings were observed here at the opening influenced presumably by large receipts. labor troubles and the fear of tight money, but this pressure suddenly became exhausted and the firmness of spot holders created a desire amongst timid shorts to cover. In order to accomplish this object, sharp recovery in prices resulted. after which quiet and steady tone prevailed.
 The action of the cotton markets today dem onstrated the folly of considering any con clusion as certainty, concerns the pres ent situation. Bears feel sure that the coun- try still has plenty of cotton to come for ward and that spinrers have supplied them selves for the remainder of the season. On the other hand. bulls contend that spinners have been inclined to pursue hand -to-mouth policy all along, and that the high prices available were sufficiently attractive to induce farmers to overcome the difficulties of bad roads After all, these are theories and establish noth- ing definitely and until traders are able tc form something like a positive opinion on the subjects mentioned active fluctuations are likely to be the rule, though 1t Is quite evi dent that the market is disposed to promptly resist any artificial pressure Tc9al exports to. day, 293; port stocks are now 226 ooC bales less than last year.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
AFTER ACTIVE SESSION THE
 CLOSE SHOWS GAINS.
Opening Firm at an Advance, But Estimates for Heavy Receipts Caused Easier Feeling-Bulls
 Forced Upward Turn.

NEW YORK. April 2.-The cotton market after a very active session, closed firm, with
 prices at about the best level of the day net S@22 points the final figures of yester- day. The opening firm at an advance of 5GS points and following the call worked up a little higher under better Liverpool cables than expected and covering in connection with
 heavier estimates for the days receipts and continued favorable crop reports. Under the influence of these factors. which encouraged
 renewed pressure from room bears the market declined to level about 245 points under the opening figures, with the late months show ing comparative weakness, being more specially affected by the favorable reports of new crop turned very firm, chiefly result of more bullish Interpretations placed on the Census Bureau report of yesterday. and during the balance of the session displayed generally upward tendency. The unexpected frmness of Liverpool was taken here indicating that the trade abroad were inclined to regard the census report as a bullsh document. This view of the situation was strengthened when mes sage was received from Washington, stating the 1902 crop, whether or not that cotton had been ginned prior to Sept. l. 1902, This na- turallly made a considerable difference in figuring available supplies still to come for w8rd. and responsible for much of the days advance. Another factor which exerted some sentimental effect on nearby positions was the correction in the certifcated stock, mak- ing the amount 335o7 bales available for immediate delivery on contract. though 1t made no material alteration in the total supplies. Port receipts for the day were 9.269 bales, against 6.99 bales last year. and the exports were small amounting to only 6,4S5 bales. Total sales futures estimated at 250. LOO bales.
