NEW YORK COTTON, March 25.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at decline of IA
6l21 points under liquidation following lower ca
bles than expected and apprehensions that the
report of the census bureau giving the amount of
cotton ginned from the crop Of 1904 would
prove less bullish than expected There was.
however. considerable covering. at the decline
and houses with New orleans connections were
good buyers presumably on the theory that the
ginners' figures would confirm small crop esti-
mates, and the market almost irmedia tely rallied
with May selling up to lac and July to 14.1Sc.
or within about Or points Of last nights clos
ing figures. This was followed by considerable
irregularity. with some bear pressure under
which prices worked off slightly. Trading was
moderately active at first. but later, the market
profes sional trades showed little movement the
more general disposition being to await the cen
sus figures at midday. g.
The market at midday was quiet. but was
feverish. the trade awaiting the census report

tations were net unchanged to 10 points higher.

The publication of the final report Of the CEN
sus bureau on cotton Gipned from the 1903 crop
was followed by a jump of about 20 points in
prices. The advance met liquidation enough to
cause a momentary reaction. but almost imlne-
trading became active and May sold up to 14.75c
and July to Is cents net gains of over half a
cent from last nights figures and an advance
of about 80 points from the low. point Of this

New York, March 25.-The opening
trading in stocks to- day was quite active
and blocks of 200 shares and upward
changed hands in the Pacifics, ST. Paul,
Pennsylvania and United States Steel pre-
ferred. The Pacifics and United States
Steel preferred sagged a fraction and st.
Paul and Union Pacific hardened a shade.
Changes were small and irregular thru
out. There was a rise Of Is in Ice and
Of ~ in the preferred.
Selling orders were distributed in the
principal stocks, and there was general
decline, which, however, did not exceed
a half in any instance. Baltimore & Ohio,
Reading and Southern Pacific were the
most affected. 3}% f.. ~. ~.
st. Paul was taken hold of at the lower
range and advanced to al, causing a
sympathetic rally thruout. The Pacifics
and most of the other favorites recovered
to above yesterdays close.
Excited buying of Union Pacific sud
denly developed in a quiet market and
lasted about fifteen minutes. That stock
was carried up 31a, with long strings of
large transactions coming out on the tape.
St. Paul rose IL, Southern Pacific IL
and the leaders generally 1 to ~. Union
Pacific abruptly receded a point and car
ried the general list back Il to 1 point
The latter, Baltimore & Ohio, Wisconsin
Central preferred and Metropolitan Secur-
tiles lost 21a, and General Chemical Is.
Bonds were steady at noon.
Renewed buying of Union Pacific, which
carried it to 831, had stimulating eff
feet on the market, particularly on the
western stocks. Traders took profits in
Union Pacific and it relapsed nearly a
point. Other stocks eased off and the
trading came largely to standstill.
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific were
accumulated again, advancing them to the
highest. The general market did not
share In the rally to any noteworthy ex-
tent, and weakness in the leaders threw
the market into dullness.
Union Pacific relapsed to s15s, and the
gains elsewhere were wiped out. Pacific
