.SPIRITSTURNEOT TONE
MARKET CHANGED ITS FRONT

Little New Spirits Coming in ow-
ing to the Continued Cool Wealth
err, and Operators Report but Lit
tie stun in the "BOXes."
The spirits market opened firm at 54c
and closed steady at the same figure.
1t was the first day that the Board of
Trade has been open for business since
Monday as nothing was doing either in
the turpentine or rosin market yester-
day. Sales of S97 casks Of turpentine
were reported at the IL o'clock
call; the market then eased off and
there was apparently little if any, de-
mand, as no spirits was reported sold
in the afternoon.
The receipts of turpentine amounted
to 1895 casks, which was practically
the income of two days. The exports
were also larger than usual, aggre-
eating 1898 casks.
Turpentine was quoted in New York
at 5Shc.
The continued cool weather is having
the effect of keeping a great deal of
turpentine back that would ordinarily
have made its appearance ere this;
operators report that there is little new
stuff in the boxes.
ROSINS-All grades of rosins are
quoted firm and there was no change in
the quotations yesterday. Sales of
rosin reported amounted to 1,163 bar
rels.
The receipts were 1897 barrels, while
LOG barrels were eXpOrted.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 27.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of
SOS points on active covering, pro-
NOTED by very firm English cables,
particularly in reference to spot cot
ton, sales of which We're reported of
10000 bales at an advance of 20 Eng
lish points, while futures. rejecting the
improvement in trade conditions, were
also higher than expected. Some of
the home element, however, showed an
inclination to continue the selling
movement started late yesterday, and
their offerings for a time restricted
the advancing tendency.
1t was the first May notice day in
New Orleans and apprehensions as to
the effect Of notices in that market at
first seemed to restrict buying, but it
soon developed that the Southern bulls
were taking all tenders with private
wires, indicating that they were bid
ding for more. This started a more
active demand in the local market

Liverpool was unexpectedly good and
New York started the day with a good
advance. From the opening there was
a good demand for May contracts in
spite of the fact that this is the first
notice day for that month. All notices
were promptly stopped The leading
bulls bought heavily and when it was
seen that notice day would not prove
bearish in its effect, prices became
strong on extensive short covering
The reaction followed on profit taking
by longs, but later there was a strong
advance on short covering, both here
and in New York. In the trading
May first advanced 10 points to 1850;
declined to 13.7Sc, from which there was
a rapid advance to 1890 The market

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

New York, April 27.-For several days
past private cables have told of good
business in Manchester, and the sales
yesterday of 1000 spots, followed by
10000 to-day, are strong testimony to
the correctness of these advices. South
ern markets report renewed spot de-
mand at higher prices with a more gen.
eral inquiry than for some time past.
May notices to the extent of $500 bales
were issued in New Orleans to-day,
and, as predicted in these letters, were
promptly taken up. The cotton repre-
scented by them is, we understand, to
be shipped out at once. Friday will be
notice day here, and there is talk Of as
much as $4,000 bales to be rendered. 1t
is believed, however, that leading eX-
port houses are prepared to take up
the tenders, with the object of selling
such cotton as can be used to advan-
tage in filing orders. The re-
mainder, after such selections, may
be retendered on July or pos
sibly even later in May. Liver
pool and spot interests were good
buyers of May and July here this morn
ing, and the far months are being
bought to a lesser degree. While the
general public affects to believe that
liz cents for December is a high price,
it is hardly likely that the spinner will
look upon it in the same light.

Grain Letter to Hayward, Wick q
Company.

Chicago, April 27.-Wheat-Wheat de-
veloped into a strong market after
some uncertainty early in the day.
There was a slump towards the close
on local selling The government
weekly crop bulletin was bullish on the
winter wheat condition in the Ohio val
ley.
We think old and new July should be
bought on the recessions.
Corn-Corn was strong for the most
part, with July shorts active buyers in
a market rather bare of offerings at the
outset. Armour bought May and Sep
TENDER moderately and is believed to
have sold July. We believe in buying
July on recessions.
Oats-OatS were very strong with an
active trade led by the May which was
up 23s at one time.
We believe in purchases on recessions
excepting the September, which we
think can be safely sold on the sharp
bulges. Cash market two cents higher,
Provisions-Strong and closed firm at
good advances. There was buying by
packers and by shorts and offerings
were mostly in the way of realizing.

CURI.AN a co.
Say Cool Nights viii Keep August
Movement Down.

Savannah. Ga. April 27.-Cotton
opened steady at an advance of sos
points. There was a moderate line of
covering as natural sequence of
slightly better cables than looked for.
Sentiment. however. was bearish, and
the big three" began selling early
in the day. Hence on the better levels.
there was some scattered liquidation
through fear that bear campaign was
being worked.
The weather conditions were consid-
cred favorable as a whole, but the
temperatures in some parts of the belt
were a little too low. Some interests
figured that in consequence of the cool
nights d big movement OF new cotton
next August is practically out of the
question. Commission houses bought
new crop positions on moderate scale.
while Philadelphia spot houses bought
May and July. Receipts, 1896, against
$500 last week and 1864 last year. For
the week the estimate was raised TO-
600 to $4,000. against 56,501 last week.

DEMERE & HAMMOND
Say Market Was Narrow ScaIpinx
Affair.

Savannah, Ga, April 27.-Since noon
the cotton market has been scalp
ing narrow professional affair, ad-
vancing on demand stimulated by the
small estimate for tomorrow, re-
ceipts at Houston and Galveston. Some
reaction from the top figures later set
i'll under selling by local bears. who
are prompted to sell by the absence
of outside support, but the market,
however, closed at quite substantial
gains for the day.
1t is expected that 5000 to 1000
bales in addition to the spot sales Of
ficially reported in Liverpool to-day
were made, thus stretching the total
to the largest days spot business for
a long while.
Ports receipts tomorrow probably
5000 to $500 last year. Sentiment at
the close very hopeful.
On our close, Liverpool is due to
come $685. points on the near months
up and 8 points on the far months.

WARE q LELAND
Say 1t Looks Like Famine Rather
Than surplus.

New York, April 27.-The market re-
covered sharply to-day when July
went over 1850, this only shows how
serious it is to be short of the mar
ket on any decline. The situation
from the standpoint of figures is so
strong that short sellers may wake
up any morning with the market in
the air. The only thing that would
induce a man to sell short is the pros
pect of a surplus. 1t looks like a
serious famine, rather than a surplus,
and while trade conditions and a lot
of surroundings operate against the
bull side, it's a very different thing
to be short of the market.
The new crop planting drags prices
down, and a little later every cold
wind or hot wind or no wind at all
will cause shorts to scramble. This is
the case when the supply of old cot
ton is short. 1t will be more than
ever the case this year.
