Caldwell C Wards Stock Letter.

By Miller & Co.
 New York April 21.--The stock market closed firm with advances in specialties mostly maintained and sufficient cover ing of shorts to support active railroad issues at the higher local. Arbitrage houses bought a little stock. expecting higher prices in London on which to sell Rubber preferred was actively dealt in, and kept up to the highest prices on rec ord for long while on the report that a dividend would be declared on the preferred stock. This. however, cannot be confirmed. Metropolitan Securities was bid up by the shorts who raided the stocks and but naturally sympathized. Failure of May or to report on Remsen bill was responsible for realizing sales, the greater part of the session in Con solidated Gas and even though the bill had been signed sales were In order as is generally the case on realizing of cx- expected news. Colorado Fuel was noticeably strong on small transaction. Some of the sales in New York Central looked we'll and came from people who expected further issues of notes to the extent of five million dollars. The fur ther enhancement of such stocks as Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Atchison still appear likely. Total sales stocks s25,200 shares.

OPENING SHOWS
 SLIGHT DECLINE Foreign Demand Caused ln-
 creased FirmneSS DEF PRESSED TOWARD CLOSE Prices Finally Become Quiet At the Lowest Level of the Day, Net Decline of to
 13 Points.
DE PRESSED TOWARD CLOSE

New York, April 21.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 5a7 points. the loss being due to light liquidation fol- lowing rather disappointing cables and better weather reports, while the general undertone was steadied by the purchases of spot interests, who seemed to be buy ing May contracts. There was also some foreign demand particularly for the new crop months, and with further rumors of possible shipments out of the local stock and light receipts estimated for Houston tomorrow, the market at first showed considerable firmness.
 Shorts seemed willing to cover in an- ticipation of a further rally to follow re cent losses, and for the first half hour followings were not particularly aggres- siye. May was bid up to 13.9S and July sold at IA 20, while the new crop also ruled firm despite the better weather ad- vices and the general list was net to 6 points higher. A little later, however, re- ports that cotton would be shipped here for delivery on May contracts from Fall River seemed to check demand some what, and with the Wall street bears be- coming more aggressive, the market again turned weak.
 After breaking to a net loss of 5d13 points, 1t was steadied somewhat by room covering and little buying that seemed to be for New Orleans account, but re- covered only 1 or 5 points and toward the close was again depressed by bear pressure with prices finally quiet at the lowest level of the day, a net decline of 7@13 points,
 Sales were only 8 matter of 250,0Oo bales. refiecting the continued absence of pub iic operations.
 Estimated receipts at the ports were SOTO bales against 366S last week and To- l02 last year. For the week, 55,O00 against 27 ,O25 last week, and S4,604 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans. 2246 against 4427 last year, and at Houston AIS bales against 1922 last year.

cothran 8 Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ward x Leland. New York, April 21.-The stock market
 showed an oversold condition this morn
 ing, and floor traders were quick to dis
 cover the lack of offerings in the early
 trading and bid up Union Pacific, Steel
 preferred, and one or two of tho special
 ties. We do not find any particular change
 in the situation and still adhere to the
 trading market theory. It is not un- likely that the market will improve some but we do not believe in becoming bull ish on Steel preferred, Union Pacific Metropolitan or Pennsylvania. There are other stocks to which we called attention which should be bought and held, for special reasons exist which we believe will bring about their inde-
 { pendent enhancement of values. There was very little trading but the under
 tone is strong. Total sales, 310,1O0

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

:" For her children's Sake" one Of
the most brilliant and successful melo-
dramas ever written, from the pen Of
Theodore Kremer, is announced for APP
pearance at the Central, Friday Sept
ember Is. The play tells q story OF
love, adventure, even tragedy, that
holds the auditor to the end. The
author is said to have been INSPIRED by
the beautiful sentiment contained in
that trite old saying, "The hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world"
The outcome is widely spoken of as
the companion play to "The Fatal
Wedding" and bids fair to rival its
predecessor in point of popularity to
close finish. A more elaborate or costly
production was never conceived, and
the company Is of all around excel
lence.
