WALL STREET. REVIEW
GREAT IMPORTANCE ATTACHED
 TO SMALL MARKET.
Duliness Attributed to Departure From Street of Many Large oper- ators Who Had Besn Impor-
 tant Elements in Specu
 lation.

New York. April 4-There can be but small importance attached to a market of the small volume of that of today The dulness is attributed in part to the departure from the street of many of the large operators who as traders had been an important element in the activity for some time past. The outcome of the effort of Union Pacific interests to inter- vene in the Northern Securities assets seems to have been pitched upon by the. small remainder of active traders as to the dominant feature in the outlook Early today while 1t was expected that g. decision would be announced in St. Paul today there was some irregular fluctuations in the market. After 1t be- came known that the decision had been postponsd the trading iapsed into pro stock were sufficient in the staenant de- mand to weigh prices gradually down. The decline was due more to hamilton than to any possible elements or weakness. London was not inclined to assume any decided attitude in this mar ket. The reduction on the Bank of Eng land rate has been discounted in that market and the Russian naval disaster induced some selling for Paris account The price of gold was marked down fin London. thus showing disposition to re- pay the London markets obligations to Paris. especially as New York Is able to supply gold to help out the process. Lon don financial opinion has viewed the heavy obligation of that market to Paris capital which has persisted for several years. The March statement of our for eign trade in full somewhat modiies the unfavorable impression of the statement of exports, by an increase in the value or manufactured exports. which offsets in part the large loss in the exports of domestic products. The value of i'm ports. also, has fallen. thus helping to ease the excessive reduction in the bal ance of trade in our favor, which Is threatened. Tn view of the requirements 10 be met in the exchange market. this showing is satisfactory. although the ex- treme ease of money leaves little room for disquietude over the outward move ment of gold Attention was attracted to the interview in Germany with J. H. Schiff. and especially on account of the assertion that Pennsylvania $50 000. 900 note issue will be offered at maturity for conversion into stock. It Is the pro- bability of this ultimate disposition of the railroad new issues that has 10 do with the disproportionately high interest rates. which they carry, and which has been cause of some dstrust on the part of investors. Assertions and opinions companied the desultory decline in prices leading railroad stocks and industrials Amalgamated Copper and Anaconda were sold on doubts of an increase in the com- ing dividend. The market closed at about the lowest. The bond market turned heavy in sympathy with stocks. Total sales par value. $2.115, 00o. United States 2s declined 1-4 per cent on call.

 Heavy snow in many sections of the Northwest increased apprehension among wheat traders A decided decrease in acre age was considered poss ble. The opening was somewhat cratic. July being M@%c lower to < kc higher at S7aS7h. Com mission houses had considerable buying or ders on small receipts. In view of the bullish character of crop news, offerin ys were quite small. There was good buying by the Southwest and the market at Kan sas City and St. Louis was strong A mem Der Of Chicago commission house now ex- amining crop conditions in Kansas teie- graphed that west of a north and south line drawn through Hutchinson Kansas winter wheat of Oklahoma and Kansas was hopelessly lost With such news to encour- age buying, prices readily advanced, July rallying 70 Ss1s. Later an estimated increase in shipments from Argentina caused suffi- cient selling to carry prices down about hc from the high point but the market closed firm with July at S7x 9ST& May ranged between s3% and s4k and closed at 93% Clearances equaled S5.s0O bushels Primary receipts were 215,100 bushels against 177.5oo year ago Minneapolis Du. luth and Chicago reported 137 cars, against 3O2 last week and 125 a year ago
 On small receipts corn had a strong start The market showed 6 tendency to follow wheat and an advance of K to 1hc in the price of best grades of the 'cssh article also helped speculative trading The bull leader was a moderate buyer of May, but commis- sion houses were reported as having sold July for the account of the big long July opened hc to Ac higher at 50% to 5oX sold between 5ois and 51K and closed at 6O% May ranged between 52h and sax and closed at 53h.

Total spot sales were IT. 800 baies. Ihis equals the entire amount Of trading done during the whole of Inst week Spot quotations were unchanged.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
MARKET ADVANCED ON OLD
 CROP MONTHS.
!, New Crop Was Lower Under Liquida tion Promoted by Warmer Weather in Cotton Belt-Bear
 Pressure Evident.

NEW YORK, April 14-The cotton mar Ret opened steady at an advance of lqlO points on the old crop months on a contin- uation of the. covering of yesterday. while quidation, promoted by rather warmer weather in the cotton belt. At first the market had a firm look. but before the call was fairly completed bear pressure became evident. Those who had bought yesterday started 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 14l0 at the opening. and net loss of . points, while July was selling around 1893, compared with 14.36, the high point of the morning. and with IA. g at the clos. last night. Tbe decline to below 14c fot. July, however, attracted considerable de- mand from room shorts. and around 2 o'clock the ma; ket was rallied very sharp " by reports of big spot business In baC0o bales some of which was said to be for export. These reports, were accom- panied b. gossip. claiming that new bull pool had been formed among prominent New Orleans interests. who had started their campaign by purchasing all the spot cotton likely to come on the market, and this story was colored to some extent by a flood of buying orders from New Or leans, received here just before the close. This led to active covering and prices went up very rapidly, soon reaching the previous high point of the day and m some instances selling point or two above that, with the market finally firm at a net advance of 12929 points on the old crop to a decline of partial four points on the, new crop months. which were relatively less csive on the advance Closing prices were at p-ac .ical.y the best Of the session. Sales were estimated at 5o0,000 bales Receipts at the ports today, 3,373 ba,es. against 3.246 last week and a,005 last year. For the week. 5000 baes. Rglinat F 25l last week and 5932 last year.

Caldwell. Ward Co.'S Market Letter.

NEW YORK. April 14.--New York cotton
 market opened at advance but was very irregular and declined under heavy selling pressure. The market generally has been depressed for some days by an apparent con certed action of bear conditions and news
 Continued dull trade unreasonable weather
 curtailment by manulacturers, small spot de-
 mand' with most encouraging prospects fo. the new crop, all of which tended to lessen confidence in the predicted famine stricken prices. Prices are sweepingly bearish
 though all such talk finds willing lis tener. The decline of about 150 points hls forced out many weak longs and put the future market in a healthy condition for 1t VIII show sympathetic responses to any ac- tivlty CT strength in the spot market At the decline there good buying around II cents for July. Report of sale of 32- 900 bales spots at New Orleans and transac- tions at other points was the favorable fea- ture of the day. Prices had been pounded so that hedges could be closed to Advantage and spots disposed of with satisfactory re- suits. The movement is a constant remind CT of what may be expected in the future for those who blindly sell this markc4 The close tonight was strong at an advance of some 45 points from tho low, on which I,iy- erpool is due to come F to IS up Friday.

t8y Private Wire from C. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, April 14.--Prices ran down further this morning and for the first time since the census report July sold under 14 cents There was no change in the character Of the market All who were trading seemed to be selling Now and then there would be selling wave of shorts GOV ering. but cotton came out on any advance and the improvement did not hold. After breaking i4 cents July rallied from 13. 94 to 20 and then grew irregular Profession als sold generally and as long as the situa- tion failed to show any change there was no more inducement to buy at 14 cents than at Is cents. The simple fact that prices are lower does not change the position. It looks as though the market would worx lower before the May option is taken cara of here. Thtre is big lot of cotton here and in New Orleans The time to get q good market Is after May early June, whe I the actual stuff has been disposed of and there are some bad crop accounts to pat the market Up en. As sooh as there is a large g ,ort interest in the market 1t will be different For while we would not trade in the old crop months, but would buy October cn any break now on. s
 The weather and the crop news could b improved c great deal If the season keeps cool as 1t has been for a week. there will b 1, howl We would rather buy on e brea< When the situation is right priees will ad- vance readily at<stst
