J. II. PARKER & CO.'S
Cotton Letter to Hayward, Wick &
Company.

New York, April 14.-The market
passed through several successive
stages of strength and weakness to-
day. At the opening a few buying
orders, based on a rather favorable
Liverpool, carried prices up about 10
points. This was only for the mo-
ment, however, for the same element
which has been beating down prices
for the past few days assaulted the
market Ntciou1ly and continued to
hammer it on every tendency to rally.
July from 14.35c was pounded down to
13 93c.
The weakness during the forenoon
carried prices, both here and in New
Orleans, so far below Liverpool that
large spot transactions were made pos
sible, and, as we have seen from the
sales reported, exporters were prompt
to take advantage of the situation.
Even in the future markets, spot in
terests were prominent, and they were
heavy buyers here of April and May
which are practically spot months. We
look for a better Liverpool tomorrow
and the restoration of general con-
60pnce
