Especial to News and observe

(SpcClii 10 news anu CDoSl NNi')
New York, April 25.-NothinG has
developed over Sunday to change the
character of the trading in stocks,
which continues to be of a nominal
and an entirely professional character,
pending news of a definite nature in
regard to the Northern Securities lit
igaton now beng conducted at Trcn-
ton.
London sent a slightly higher range
of quotations for American securities
and under this influence our market
opening showed fair degree
of strength. in which st. Paul, Atchi-
son, Pennsylvania and b. X.
T., were prominent features. While
the latter stock maintained its
advance to some extent, the remainder
of the lists was unfavorably affected by
selling movement in Southern
Pacific, which has been the target
for the bears for several days. This
selling caused declines of from Y a
point but failed to dislOdge any long
stock, and when this was apparent
the selling pressure was discontinued
and the market relapsed into dizziness,
Wheat was both strong and weak
by turns in todays market. At the
opening fair strength developed and
buying was active for both accounts.
on the advance offerings were more
numerous and resulted in a loss of
the early gain of one cent per bushel
and prices declined easy one cent I'M
der Saturdays closing price.
The Improvement in weather condi-
tons has caused steady liquidation in
all grains but in view Of the uncertain.
ty regarding the amount of damage to
winter wheat, and the small stock of
old wheat in farmers hands, the pres
cnt decline seems somewhat excessive
The market opened weak, from 10
0u24 points lower. on disappointing
cables reporting both spot and futures
at substantial declines in Liverpool.
After the opening call prices steadicd
and trading was quiet. The selling Of
cotton recently has been OF the best
character and much lower prices are
predicted by many We are inclined
to the opinion that on any further re-
Cessions the new crop options may be
50 fely purchased for a fair sized rally
Receipts at the ports today are esti-
mated at 1000 bales against 1850 last
year.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, April 25.-The spot
cotton market was very quiet, cloudy
weather interfering with trading to a
great interest. Late in the day eX-
porters reported some inquiry from
European spinners, but there was
nothing doing in factors cotton. Sales
1850 bales, including 1900 to arrive
and 1000 f. o. b.
Futures opened quiet and weak
with prices q to 80 points down. in
fuenced by sensationally unfaVorable
Liverpool and weakness in New York.
Local bears hammered prices fiercely
ana there was weak undertOne
throughout. The decline. it was gem
orally believed. was caused by the sell
ing orders that flooded Liverpool, New
York and New Orleans. While lead
ing bulls gave the market some sup
port at the opening, they allowed it
to take It's own course during the re-
mainder of the session. In the trad
ing May first lost q points TO 1854
recovered to 1870 and finally declined
To 1919. Other active months showed
similar fluctuations. The closing was
weak with net losses Of SO TO AZ
points. On the old crop months and
20 to 81 on the new.
