c. D. Pierce q Co.'S Cotton Letter

tBy PrlNate wire rom tlDert x Cldy.D
 NEW ORLEANS. April 6.-The cotton market went through series of convul- sions.- but in the end, developed a recu. perative tendency that dispelled much of the evil effects of the wear and tear. Pri- yate advices from Liverpool were encourag- ing in the sense that good demand was reported for goods. but this information was not confirmed by the spot record, which showed comparative idleness. notwithstand- ing material concessions that were offered. The course of deliveries simply signtfied q willingness to follow events on this side. Initial trades here were effected at lower prices and a pressure of liquidation supse- uuently established a further sharp decline. At this juncture big bulls rendered sup- port and room traders assumed a friendly attitude toward the market.
 The combined demand from these sources forced prices up again, though the under tone had appearance of being unsettled. , At the extreme decline some business was transacted in spots that were hedged with contracts, and the terms were based on the price of contracts prevailing then
 No special importance is to be attached to sue hdeals for the reason that the trades were effected at depressed prices and their consummation required a seller of contracts in conjunction with the buyer of spots. It would be more signicant if spot buyers could be induced to effect some purchases port to any improving tendency
 The movement Is unquestionably light and serves to vindicate small crop ideas, but at present an adequate spot demand IS necessary to sustain the prevailing level of values. There are efforts on the part Of spinners to run on short time to conform with the shortage of supplies of raw cotton

Virgin e Founce's Cotton Letter.

lover Private Leased WireD
 NEW YORK. April s.--Cotton futures in the local market to-day opened barely steady in tone with first prices at A decline of to 10 points. This loss was difficult to understand in view of the better cables than had been looked for. and under the circumstances, the bull interests worked for a recovery. The offerings decreased and there was some buying. which resulted in q better ruling. The small receipts with promise of still further reductions in the movement served to encourage support Yesterdays sellers in many instances were inclined to cover and the demand from this source attracted considerable attention However there was quite lot of cotton for sale later, and the weakness at New Orleans attracted attention and served to encourage liquidation on the other side, the English market finally selling off to meet the level in vogue this side. Spot inter ests were good buyers on the lower levels. and this demand served to encourage the more conservative elements. Philadelphia and New Orleans interests were credited with having bought the old crop positions on an extensive scale. The trade was only of fair proportions. and aside from the liquidation early in the day. the professional clement figured for the greater yproportion of the days business. The late market was nervous and a little uncertain. with pit in- terests generally in control. The estimated port receipts for the day were 1000. against i2,772 for the same day last year.

(By Private Wire from Gibert Clayl
 NEW YORK. April 6.--The break to day was not expected in fact. the advance that came during the afternoon seemed to show that the early break was due to bear sell ing and a lot of pressure Cotton was brought out. and this carried July to IA. SO. when shorts tried to get in under cover there was a sharp advance to l4. 95 before shorts had covered much. It is not a mar ket to sell on breaks. In fact, the buying to-day was of what Is considered better kind. That is. Philadelphia people took aboard all the cotton early. ard, of course. this left practically no cotton for sale when the covering began.
 Prices advanced easily and weakness early was not bit more sound than the advance above 15A last week. Until spin ners get the cotton prices should not ad- vance above l5 cents
 Receipts are nothing and this Is bound to tell before a new crop can be picked But this is to be considered when -~ices run down. not when the market advaLO.. There is nothing to be short on. Mill curtallment and that sort of thing is inevitable Other wise 10, 200. 900 would never go around.
 When people sell on a break of 50 or 75 points 1t is hard to get the stuff back. On breaks such last night and again to- day there will be money in buying cotton for some time to come.

tBy Private Wire to Caldwell. Ward & co.l
 NEW ORLEANS. April s.-As Liverpool advices were disappointing our market opened II to 16 lower on near months ana to 10 on late, subsequently, declining 70 to 20 additional on further liquidation
 About this time 1t was ascertained that there was a better inquiry for spSts and as receipts continued on a limited scale. shorts covering and fresh buying caused an advance of 45 to 47 from the bottom on old crop months ane 1S to 27 on the new, making the net gain to 13 points on all options. Fall River wires that 65 mills there have entered into an agreement to curtaii production by shutting down two days week. This action is due to un- settled conditions in the cloth and cotton markets Cables from Liverpool referring to this matter say 1t is probable hat con. sumers In England and the continent will take advantage of the American curtail- ment and weak markets to secure require ments for the balance of the season. Late advices from New York report that 20.- 900 packages of sheetings were sold o-day by large firm to the Japan China Trad ing Company for China Tho movement is small and the indications aree that the amount toN be brought into sight for the week will be about so, poo, against l13,000 last year There seems to be a better under tone: still the future course of values will be regulated by the spot demand. If spin ners are willing to enter the market on the present basis, then prices will be maintain ed or enhanced further.
