cothran & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert x Clay.
 New Orleans. April 26.-There was q moderate change in the temper of the cotton market today, oecasioned chiefly by continued reports of good business in Manchester and a larger spot business in Liverpool at advanced prices, while the weather in the belt threatened with severe cold spell, with a possibility of frost in some sections Liverpool treated shorts to a disagreeable surprise by ad yancing sharply, when a decline of some importance was on the programme. Ca bles explained that Manchester market was strong and spinners were expected to increase their takngs soon. Initial trading here was somewhat brisk at an advance consistent with the rise in the English market. Fluctuations followed periodical liquidation by recent purchas- CTS. and bidding by big bulls. lnterspers- ed with short covering. There was some evening up of accounts in May delivery owing to the tender of notices being practicable tomorrow and a fear that this feature might exercise a detrlment al influence Little effect, however, Is likely to be observed from tenders
 A surfeit of notices might widen the difference between May and July, and an absence of notices have an opposite re- suit. but the level of value will hardly undergo any material variation. As to the immediate future much will depend on developments in the spot department and in this respect it would be interest ing to know if Liverpool will continue to report an expansive business in actual cotton Sentiment is somewhat divided and the market seems willing to be guid- ed by passing events, though the element of danger appears greater to the short side

MARKET
 SHOWS ACTIVITY Is the Result of Covering by
 Recent Sellers WEATHER MORE FAVORABLE Leaders of Southern Markets Were Said to Be Bidding for Large
 Blocks of May and
 July.
WEATHER MORE FAVORABLE

New York, April 26-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of l6 to 2 points, showing considerable activity and excitement as a result of covering by re- cent sellers and some demand from houses with European and southern con neetions, promoted presumably by the firm showing of the Liverpool market where futures instead of being to } points lower were to 10 points higher, with spot cotton in more active demand than for days past at an advance of t points.
 On the other hand the weather map was somewhat more favorable than ex- pected, low temperature being confined to the northern portions of Texas, while the rest of the belt was fairly season. able and the advance of nearly quarter of cent attracted heavy profit taking by room bulls. Accordingly, the market, after the call. lost about 10 to 15 points, with the late months leading under liqui- dation by wire houses. New Orleans. however. sent very bullish wires
 The leaders in the southern market were said to be bidding for large blocks of May and July indicating that May notices would be taken care of. and shorts here, becoming uneasy with some apprehension as to a bullish crop report, at midday continued covering With of ferings falling off slightly, the market was again advanced and before midday was above the opening figures, with the general list net p to 26 points higher.
 The weather bureau crop bulletin prov ed about a standoff but was followed by some liquidation, notwithstanding which the market showed a pretty steady undertone until just before the close, when aggressive selling by local spot houses broke the list sharply and prices were finally barely steady with the ad- vance cut down to a matter of : to IS points. Sales estimated 100000 bales. Port receipts were below last years esti- mates, moderately full and exports small.

 New York, April 26.-The stock market today was excessively dull. Commission business being trifing and London's on. erauons having no significance. The market was virtually a room traders affair on a scale of midsummer dullness f'urther engagements of gold export were arranged for Thursday but the monetary situation at home and abroad continued extremely easy. Crop news was not entirely favorable but 1t was generally recognized that the phase of agricultural situation at this time is not decisive of final results. It was not Known till almost too late to influence speculation that satisfactory arrange ments had been made for settlement Panama canal indebtedness of the gov ernment with a view to minimizing fric- ton in the exchange market.

Caldwell 6 Wards Cotton Letter

By H. X E. Beer
 New Orleans, April 26.-As Liverpool was surprisingly good our market opened l9 to 30 points higher, subsequently, ad- vanced to Il points additional on the lower temperatures in the belt and the expectation of a bullish weekly weather report When the weather report was issued it proved to be more favorable than anticipated and as there was little doing in spots and a lack of outside speculation values eased off 15 to l9 points from the top making the net gain 20 to 22 points on the old crop months and to points on the new.
 Liverpool cables say that there's a bet ter feeling and liquidation is about over. Manchester has done a good business and spinners are expected to increase their takinss Textile trade conditions in America. however, are not good and spot holders are anxious to sell. It Is claimed by exporters that there is more inquiry which may soon lead to fresh business. While the temperatures were somewhat lower throughout the south, the conditions were generally fair west of the Mississippi river with light show CTS east. The weekly weather report on the whole was mixed but construed to be more favorable than looked for. Spec ulation is reduced 10 minimum propor- lions and the textile trade is generally unsatisfactory
 As an offset to this Liverpool seems inclined to be optimistic in consequence of the light movement and the small stock held there. The future course of the market will therefore continue to be regulated by the action of Liverpool, the demand for spots and weather condi- tions,

 Chicago, April 26.-Wheat was nervous during the morning, but the trend was upward and before the close most of the decline was recovered Selling of past few days was evidently overdone and we think liquidation has been pretty thorough. The market Is still a local one which is the chief drawback to sus- tain advance. We feel friendly however to the old July and think 1t will do to buy for the present.
 The old bull interest took an active part in the trading, buying old July open ly and selling at times through com mission houses. It is generally thought the days purchases exceeded the sales Crop reports from Ohio, Indiana and Missouri suggest 25 to 30 per cent of a crop and the southwest was evidently exercised over the possibility of floods In the bottom lands. Precipitation was heavy the past twenty-four hours in the Ohio valley and west of the Mississippi excepting Kansas and Oklahoma The northwest was clear. Temperatures are still little too cool to be seasonable. Showers are forecasted for Kansas and continued favorable conditions in the spring wheat belt. Estimated tomorrow ten cars.
 Corn-The weakness in May and the covering by some of the larger shorts were tlie textures m the corn trade. The discount of the May under the deferred futures was further widened The strength in wheat was a sympathetic help. The statistical news were largely bearish. Receipts 30s cars, s5 last saeson. 72 cars graded contract.
 Provisions-The provision market was to large extent a repetition of yester- day. More buying by packers presuma- bly covering shorts and with the uiti- mate purpose of making market on which to resell. Outside orders were limited and mostly in the way of liauid- ation. Cash demand was rather quiet. estimated tomorrow 2s.0O0

Cothran & Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ware& Leland.
 New York, April 26-Nothing much can be said of the stock market today, which was very dull and featureess. During the latter part of the session, considera- ble strength was developed with buying very good in Missouri Pacific, Southern Pacific and St. Paul, and in other quar- ters. The market seems to have struck a slow gait and nothing may be expect ed In the next few days.
 IF case of any declines we are of the opinion that the buying side will prove to be the best and would advise pur- chases of standard dividend-paylng rails on all soft spots.

New York Cotton Futures.
New orIeane Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 26.-The unlocked for improvement in Liverpool caused sharp demand for spot cotton, many buy CTS evidently believing that bottom prices have been reached, and are anxious to take advantage of the low level Sales. 340O bales including 1750 to arrive and POO f. O. D. Quotations advanced, 1-16c.
 Futures opened firm with an advance of 19 to 30 points,. For a few minutes, shorts covered frantically, and then there was a sudden change; the ring was food ed with selling orders. These evidently came from bears and bulls alike The bulls took profits while the bears were attempting to stem the tide that was setting in against them. The selling checked the advance effectively for a time, but at the most only sent prices off from il to 13 points from the highest levels around the opening. Later in the day strong recovery was seen which carried prices back almost to the high est levels of the previous hours. Liver pool displayed a firm tone up to the close, and this coupled with the bad weather shown in the weather map. proved to be too strong feature for the bears to work against. In the trading the huctua- tions were numerous, but narrow. The market closed quiet with net gains of IS to 2 points on the old and to 9 on the new crop positions.
