BEARS MAKE THEIR
 PRESENCE FELT Pressure Evident Before Call
 Was Completed
  MARKET I TURNEDVERY WEAK Flood of Buying Orders From New Orleans Near the Close, How
 ever, Sends Prices
 Up Rapidly.
MARKET TURNED VERY WEAK

New York, April 14.-The cotton market points on the old crop months, on con- tinuation of the covering noted late yes terday which was accelerated by rather better cables than expected, while the new crop was a little lower under liqui- dation promoted by rather warmer weather in the cotton belt. At first the market had firm look, but before the call was fairly completed bear pressure became evident.
 Those who had bought yesterday start ed to liquidate and the market, meeting with very little support, turned very weak, catching stop orders as 1t declined, until early afternoon May had been driven down to 1871 against 14.1o at the open ing and a net loss of 29 points, while July was selling around 1893; compared with 1436, the high point of the mora ing, and with 14.25 at the close last night The decline to below 14c for July. however, attracted considerable demand from room shorts, and around o'clock the market was rallied sharply by report of a big spot business in New Orleans. said to amount to nearly 50,000 bales. some of which was said to be for ex- port.
 These reports were accompanied by gossip claiming that new bull pool had been formed among prominent New Or leans interests who had started their campaign by purchasing all the spot cot ton likely to come on the market, and this story was coored to extent by flood of buying orders from New Orleans, TO- celved here just before the close. This led to active covering, and prices went up very rapidly, soon reaching the pre- vious high point of the day, and in some instances selling a point or two above that. with the market finally firm at a net advance of 12M2O points on the old crop to a decline of a partial 4 points on the new crop months, which were rela- lively less active on the advance Closing prices were at practically the best of the session. Sales were estimated at 5O0,OOO.
 Receipts at the ports today were 37S3 tales. against 3246 last week and 9055 last year. For the week, O,000 bales against Al 251 last week and 59, ,632 last year. To days receipts at New Orleans were 194d bales against SS70 last year and at Hons- ton 161l bales against 21s3 last year.

By Miller x Co.
 New York. April 14.-The tendency was
 reactionary in the early dealings, there
 were several movements of importance
 some sharp advances being recorded.
 London continued a good buyer on bal
 ance About the only development of
 the day which appeared to receive atten-
 ton was the postponement of the ex-
 pected decision in the Hartman interven-
 ton proceedings. This announcement
 discouraged the business and the room
 traders were disposed to attempt to dis
 lodge stocks. but the hammering caused
 succeeded in reducing prices. Union Pa
 cifc was adversely affected by growing fear that considerable liquidation will Involve the Northwestern properties.
 Reading second preferred lost nearly all it's early gain. Copper was weak in spite of rumors predicting an increase l in the forthcoming dividend rate. Con- solidated Gas was extremely strong on reports that the mayor was favoraby disposed towards the Remsen gas bill When the fact was brought out that the public hearing had been set for Satur- day the stock reacted under proft-tak- ing. The reduction in bank of England s discount rate was without influence its effect having been discounted. So far as monetary considerations are concern ed the market has not regarded them as a factor for some time. Some influence however, may have resulted from rather general depression abroad in connection with latest disaster to the Russian. The market closed weak.

By Ware & Leland.
 New York, April H.-A very irregular and dull market is to be reported today. Floor element sold stocks freely at the opening. and then covered on the bulge. which met some liquidation. and prices again fell away. but there appeared to be some support in the afternoon. We look for this kind of market, and believe the trading position will be the very best that can be assumed for present.
 Sentiment is much divided. and the short interest is believed to be steadily increas- ing.
 As near as we can see. Standard oil people are inclined to maintain their pull stand. but do not appear to desire to become aggressive just now. It may be that on any material recess;on the Stand ard active issues should be bought fer turns. Total sales 31s,0O0.

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter.

By Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, April 14.-Wheat-The crop damage reports came in great profusion from the Ohio valley, the extreme south west, the northwest and from Manitoba. Some of them were so sensational as to be promptly discredited, especially as there was no noticeable increase in the number of country orders. u is a ques- ton of winter wheat being killed and low condition in the Ohio valley. In the southwest there Is no moisture to- day and the weather in then orthwset has again taken on a wintry aspect. Private advices are of heavy snow storms throughout Minnesota and North Dako- ta. Semi official reports from Manitoba suggest seeding will be unusually back word. as fields are still covered with snow and ice. Northwestern markets were strong, particularly Minneapolis and Kansas City was up relatively more than Chicago The September option was the strongest and the short interest in it is believed to be greater than in any of the others The Northwestern Miller reports a dull week in fluor and a sharp reduction in output. There were some rumors of better cash demand from Minneapolis but there was little doing here. If the country back the reports which is is sending in, we are likely to run into crop scare market. With small reserves at the end of this crop any serious cur tailment in the next will be of more than usual importance. The Liverpool market closed asc higher, estimated cars tomor- row 15.
 Corn - Market exhibited considerable strength, ruling at one time materially higher. The chief sources strength were the early manipulations of Armour & Co. and the strength in wheat. The bull in- terest was active in the pit. bidding for the May in big lots, but late in the ses- sion selling considerable July. It was also the chief buyer of cash corn bid ding that market up from one to two cents bushel. Receipts were light at 69 cars, of which 13 graded contract ap- proximately 19,0O0 No. 2 corn was trans ferred from private houses. This makes about 45,000 bushels in two days which is very liberal addition to our con- tract stocks. Demand continues dor mant Liverpool closed asc higher Esti- mated receipts tomorrow 80 cars.

New orIeano Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 1.-The immense spot demand that developed In the local market today played the game into the hands of the bulls after the bears seem ed fully assured of being able to put prices still lower. Early in the after noon rumors of immense spot sales were spread about and these were later con- firmed by the official spot report Total spot sales were 17,500 bales This equals the entire amount of trading done during the whole of last week. Spot quotations were unchanged.
 Such trading had to have it's effect on futures and they showed sensational advances from the low levels to which they had been sent by aggressive short selling during the morning. The future market closed steady with May show ing net gain for the day of 26 points at 14.47 July 19 points at 14.S6 and Oc- tober points at 11.70 Just before the close May was 76 points higher than the lowest level of the day at 14.53 and July was 73 points higher than the lowest at 14.93.
 The sensation of the day was found in the immense spot transactions by w. P. Brown & Co., They bought 5000 bales of spots. This was easily the largest single spot tranaction ever made on the cotton exchange. The amount of money invol- we'd in 1t was approximately three-quar- ters of million of dollars as the cotton was high grade.

MANY "HAvE NOT
DENIED IT"

The real stake for which George
Turner is making the fight In this
campaign is not the governorship, but
the United States senatorship. That
Is the reason why the Spokesman
Review is putting the Roosevelt mask
on the face Of George Turner. 1t
hopes to distract attention from the
real play of the Rockefeller lawyer.
If the Spokesman Review is anxious
to uphold the hands of Roosevelt,
why does 1t support the scheme to
send back from this state the man
who maligned Mckinley and the re-
publican administration and is cap
able of blocking the hands of Roose-
welt? The man who has left behind
squeezed political party lemons would
strike Roosevelt as he struck Nc
Kinley, would strike any party as he
struck populism, would strike any
candidate as he struck Bryan, would
resurrect anyone as he has resurrect-
of any instrument as he has made
use of Stanton Warburton, would ally
himself with any influence as he has
allied himself with George Stevenson.
Turner's real candidacy is not for
the gubernatorial chair, but for the
senatorial toga.
George Turner has not denied 1t.
George Stevenson has not denied it.
