Market Letter.

New York, April 2S.-There was
no increase in the volume of buSin ess
in stocks today and in consequence
the market at the close was practi-
cally unchanged. The market has de-
veloped into waiting attitude, and
there seems to be no disposition
among traders to make commitments
on either side. The new feature in
the Northern Securities situation at
Trenton precludes definite settle
ment of the suit for several weeks,
which is a matter of regret to the
trading element, and while the ulti-
mate result appears to be in no doubt
we cannot expect any great improve
ment in the market until the case is
settled.
All the grain markets have been
strong today with May showing the
greatest advance. New July sold up
to So and old July to Sc is with
coarser grains quiet but firm. Unfa-
vorable crop reports were received
from Indiana and the Ohio Valley
generally. The weather conditions IN
the Northwest We're more favorable,
and spring wheat seeding will now be
pushed forward rapidly.
Factors in today's market were less
degree of strength in Liverpool the
closing of additional mills and con-
tinued dizziness in the dry goods trade.
On the other hand reports of unfavor-
able weather conditions over the
greater part of the belt, helped to keep
prices up after the opening decline
of from to 13 points, and the great
er part of this loss was regained.
There is an increase of public interest
in the new crop months and the buy
ing in these options was of the best
character.

Ware a. EeIand's
Cotton Letter

Raleigh n. c., April 2S.-The mar
ket eased off some today but was NOT
weak. At one time July sold at l337
a break of 80 points from the high
point of yesterday. Liverpool was
again severe disappointment to the
trade. Once more every chance was
given the Liverpool trade to boost the
market and there was no bull in the
report from there this morning. Iiv-
erpool wont go up. AS long as this
is so there is no use in trying for
higher prices. Simply no good i'm the
market as long as it shows up as it
does now. 1t may change at any time
but there are no evidences of any
change yet. We cant see our way
clear to buy cotton. If there was
fair chance it would be different But
there is nothing in the way of specu-
latiOn to put prices up and the trade
Will not follow any advance. For
while it is likely to be a dull, feature
less market, no inducement to trade
Later on. after the new crop months
are lower and we can see bad wealth
er ahead, there may be a good turn
For the present we would just as soon
watch the market as trade. 1t is not
the time to buy as far as We can see
and we don't want to be short of cot
ton this year. A famine is not n good
thing to sell cotton on, though the
time may not be ripe to buy. During
the last hour today the market adj
vanced rather sharply on short cover
ing. but the rise did not hold and
prices moved back little. The mar
ket for cotton futures closed steady.

New York, April 2S.-The cotton
market opened steady at decline of
to IA points. The losses were under
selling by room bears and liquida-
tion as a result of rather disappoint-
ing Liverpool cables. Commission
houses had some orders of over night
description for the late months and
spot houses were said to be buying
the near positions. This impaired a
steady undertone and shortly after the
call prices rallied or points, but
there seemed little bull support and
New Orleans weakening, the local
market broke to a net loss of 10 to ID
points with early buyers dumping out
their cotton on reports of more Ia
VCrable weather. But reports were
circulating that large exports from
the New York stocks were pending;
il was said that Fall River spinners
were buying from local stocks; and
with gossip TO the effect that May
notices tomorrow would be stopped
by exporters the market gradually
rallied and in the early afternoon
turned firm. May, which had been
down TO 1916 sold up to 1857, net
loss of only points and July reach
ing 1885 OIL covering of shorts was
net 2 points higher, while the late
vance.
Estimates for tomorrOw's receipts
at leading points were light contribut-
ing to the afternoons frmneSS.
Trading, however, was comparatively
quiet and the demand sufficiently
limited so that when room longs turn
ed for profits toward the close they
sold the market off a few points from
the best. Prices were finally steady
at a net decline of to s points.
Sales were estimated at 100000
bales.
Receipts at the ports today 4,126
bales against 034 last week and
1864 last year. For the week $4,000
bales, against 56,5e1 last week and
66,561 last year. Today's receipts at
New Orleans were 1,755, against 4,3O1
last year and at Houston 1915 bales,
against 1,276 last year.
