VISIBLE SUPPLY
 SEEMED BEARISH Considerable Demand by This
 Side for Covering ENGLISH SPOT WAS GOOD Lower Temperature and Unsettled Weather Conditions Have Tend
 ency to Steady New
 Crop Months.
ENGLISH SPOT WAS GOOD

New York, April 23.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at decline of to 10 points following disappointing cables as to future in the Liverpool market. The visible supply statement proved less bear ish than looked for, however, and with a good spot business reported in the Eng fish market there was considerable de- rnand here for covering and after the call the market rallied for or five points from the opening figures.
 The forecast calling for unsettled con- ditlons in the belt and rather lower tenn peratures had tendency to steady the new crop months which appear to be att tracting rather an increased public atten- ton.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 6156 bales, against 12,5S9 last week, and 920S last year. For the week 4O,0O0, against 56, 501 last week and 66,561 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 21s7 against 225i last year and at Houston 119S, against 1115 last year.

100000 relatively under last year. In oth= CT words during the interim the move ment has been very light yet the eurtail- ment of spinners have added relatively to the American visible supply and the indicated consumption figures have been reduced from basis of about 10.500oo0 to 10, 325, ,000. Should spinners continue to pursue the policy of curtailment on the same ratio as they have so far during April for the balance of the season, then an out-turn of only 10,0OO000 would he sufficient to meet all requirements. The question to determine now is what will spinners do in the future? The spinners takings from week to week and weather conditions will be the principal factors in governing prices for the balance of the season, barring manipulation.

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter.

Chicago, April 23.-Wheat-The market opened with a wicked break On heavy commission house liquidation, based on spring-ike weather throughout the belt The warm muggy weather here, the first real touch of spring, did more than any thing else to influence local speculative sentiment. The market ruled rather steady on the decline on covering by shorts. News was rather scarce Cash business has improved In small way on this break. The Indiana state statis- tieian makes the condition of wheat 40 and crop going backward. Northwestern reports are somewhat better. World s shipments for Monday estimated at 10,- 100000 bushels.
 Corn-Corn was affected much the same way as wheat at the outset. Heavy covering by local professionals held the July option little below the previous close, but the May and September were relatively weak, and at one time mate rially lower. Receipts were heavy, quad ruple those for the corresponding day a year ago. Demand for mixed corn very poor but there Is little improvement in the inquiry for yellow from interior east ern points. Liverpool market was un- changed. Local receipts I'll cars, 34 of which were graded contract, and about 25,000 bushels of the same quality came from private houses.

By II. x D. Beer.
 New Orleans, April 23.-As Liverpool was discouraging, our market opened ' to 13 points lower on old crop months and to on new. Shortly after an inn provement of to Il points was establish ed on shorts covering. The easiness and lack of demand for spots the bearish yis- ible supply statement and the liberal es- timated receipts for Monday at New Or leans, Galveston and Houston caused a decline near the close of 10 to II points from the top, making the net loss 12 to IA points on old crop options and II to 20 points on the new.
 The total visible supply of all kinds during, the week decreased 20Oo against 102oOO last year. The visible supply of American during the same time decreased 51 900 against 74000 last year. The total visible supply of all kinds is now 2.955, ,00O against 3,242.000 last year, of which the American is 1,s5O,000 against 2,061, 600 last year. The total Liverpool stock of Amer ican ashore and aioat Is 591 ,000 against TAG GOO last year.
 The spinners takings of American dur ing the week were 129, 600, against 1Ss, GOO last year and their total takings from Sentember l to date have been S,073 O0O against SCOT 600 last year, or 534 OO0 less, indicating a consumption of 10,325, GOO for the season on the face of the takings. The movement on It's race points to a crop of 10. 253,000 consequently If spinners were to continue free takers for the bal ance of the season 1t would be impera- tive to draw on the surplus of 1,192 0O0 carried over from last year in the visible and invisible supply. While the statisti- cal position Is still strong, 1t has, weak ened considerably since the first of April as Is shown by relative increase of 19- 900 in the American visible supply over last year and spinners takings of Ameri- can during the same time have decreased

STOCK TRADING
 WAS COLORLESS Arranging for Payment of the Panama Canal Money GOLD THE CHEAPEST FORM Moderate Loan Expansion Shows That Corporation Note Issues Have Not Been Made on Large Scale
 This Week.
GOLD THE CHEAPEST FORM

New York, April 23.-Todays stock mar het was colorless and inconclusive. The small dealings were transacted at little variation in prices and news develop ments were ignored and were without power to move the market. The engage ment of s4.6OOOOO in gold for shipment to Paris on Tuesday was announced. The signing of the Panama canal brings the arrangement for the payments into the immediate field of the exchange market It Is believed that any accumulation Of exchange bills with the demand for the payment in view his been absorbed again. owing to the high price at which ex- change has ruled since the various post ponements of the payment were made of fering a profit to those who had accumu- lated the bills.
 It is evident that in the present condi- ton of the exchange market, gold Is the cheapest form of remittance and it would not cause surprise if the total S4OOoO,OO0 to be paid to French stockholders should go out in gold. The bank shows how money continues to accumulate here and explains the easy outward movement or gold The plethorie inflow of money does not cary an index of wholesome business activity and is not favorable lnflu- ence on the stock market. The moder- ate loan expansion shows that corpora ton note issues to have not ben made on a large scale this week. Wall street expeets more of these issues however, and rumors today were busy with two or the large railroad corporatinos, one east and one west, which are expected to De next in the field with large temporary loans Total sales of bonds, par value' S1,OO000O.
 The growing dullness of the operations in stocks this week has not resulted in any loss of ground so far as prices are concerned. There were occasional reces- sions which were made up as the sentl- ment of the traders varied from day on to day, or as their operations on one side of the market, proving unsuccessful, were followed by the closing up of contracts. The neglect of the market is largely at tributed by the public opinion Tn the street to the prospect of long drawn out litigation over the question of the man ner of the distributing of the assets or the Northern Securities company. But 1t may be questioned whether other and deeper lying causes are not behind the hesitation shown in the securities mar kets, both here and abroad. The condi- ton which is common to all of them is the plethoric condition which has devel- eped in the money markets and the back wardness of capital about taking hXed lodgement in investments.
 The bond market has been dull and sluggish and has moved conformably to the stock market United States 2's and the old As have declined "a, while the 3 g have advanced I4 and the new As 1s on call during the week.

 New York April 23.-The stock market today was of a holiday character with business almost as light as In mid d-sum- mer. Trading was confined to the room element and resulted in only nominal changes. The tone was fairly firm. The bank statement was extremely favorable, particularly in the smal increase in loans coupled with the handsome gain in cash, Consolidated gas, on the signing of the Remsen bill opened up a point but subsequently declined oyer a point on realizations. Steel preferred was under less pressure than yesterday. Copper was neglected. Virginia Chemical advanced a point on progress made In financing new issue of preferred stock which Is designed to relieve the company from the burden of last years expensive loan. The fea- ture of the local group was an advance of a point in Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Metropolitan was also strong. There were some slight concessions in final deal ings. but the market closed fairly firm. Bonds were firm. Total sales 72,000 shares.
