 New Orleans, April 15.-As Liverpool was disappointing our market opened it. regular, being 1 lower to higher. Short ly after realizing on the absence of a spot demand, and reports that the largest dry goods house in America had reduced bleached goods 1ac per yard today, caused decline of 20 to 26 on near months and 6 to 13 on the late. The bullish figures however deterred short selling and as fresh buying came in an advance of 20 to N from the bottom on old crop options and to on the new was quickly estab- lished. Realizing near the close superin- duced a slight decline making the net loss 1 to points on the day.
 The amount brought into sight during the week was 50,000 against 113O0O last year. and the total marketed from Sep tember to date has been 9,336.00O against ,77700O last year. The 31 leading interior towns during the week received 2l, DO against 60,0O0 last year, and the loss in stock was 1S,000 against 2OO0 last year, making the total stock held by them 2l2,o00 against 19300o last year. The port stocks aggregate 5O2,OOO against 356.0OO last year
 Liverpool did not show much activity in spots, but notwithstanding this private cables from there say that a further ad . vance Is expected as spinners are buying c. l. F. cotton In consequence of better demand for goods. The absence of de- mand for spots in America and the an- tlcipation of bearish visible supply state ment. influenced values unfavorably dur ing the early part of the session. The strength of the statistical position and some fresh buying occasoned the later improvement. Spinners generally are apathetic still as the movement on its face points to a crop Of 10 2S7 O0O and as the indications are that the amount to be brought into sight will continue on A decreasing scale, there Is no disposition shown to sell cotton short speculatively. The bullish figures ought to maintain val. ues, yet it will depend principally on the spot demand as to what the market will do in the future.

New Orleans. April 15.--The spot cotton market was very quiet sales, HOO bales, including $50 to arrive and 400 fob. Quo tations unchanged.

 New Orleans, April 15-The cotton mar ket was not so fierce today. but the large spot business of yesterday left an i'm pression that WAS not to be obliterated in an instant, and the undertone displayed steadiness that was obvious even to the casual observer. Liverpool was inclined to be very good though the closing of the English market showed loss of half the days advance, due presumably to selling by straddlers. Private cables stated that spinners were buying, and a better de- mand for goods was In evidence Antag- onlsm by bears in New York combined with realizing by recent purchasers here forced prices somewhat lower in the early trading, but the light movement and the knowledge that the large spot sales con template a serious reduction in the Now Orleans stock. which represents more than half the stock at all ports, stimu- lated friendly sentiment. and while trad ing was not of large quantity, the demand was of a more substantial character and contributed a fair resisting power to such pressure IS was observed. Judging from the activity of spots yesterday, many traders are of the opinion that the regular trade is willing to buy the staple at about prevailing prices, and speculation seems willing also to take the risk of buying on easy periods which Is apparently policy to pursue at present

 New York. April 15.-The stock market was an extremely dull and narrow affair today with pressure in early trading but bears failed to make any great impress sion.
 The features were Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio. They were sold free ly by floor professionals who practical ly dominated fluctuations. There was an inclination among this class to refrain from further bearish aggression upon finding that little stock was coming out and that prices became dull upon de- clines. In some quarters 1t was believed that stocks had become over-sold and should rally on prospect of good bank statement as forecasted by big gain of banks in cash for the week.
 We are inclined to look for a narrow trading market with possibly moderate rally from these levels. Total sales to- day. 23,000 shares.

Caldwell & Wards Grain Letter.

 Chicago, April 5.-Wheat-Prices suf- fered for the want of outside trade. A little buying on the part of those send ing in the damage reports would have made a strong market but this evidence of confidence was lacking. The pit oper- ators were friendly enough to an advance, but the market would not stand even a moderate amount of selling on the bulge. From the bulk of private and semi-of- fcial advices it seems that crop condi- tions in the Ohio vally sections of the southwest and in the spring wheat states are such as to warrant some apprehen sion, if there growing weather makes definite estimate of condition of winter wheat mpracticable. There is no doubt but what considerable loss has resulted from winter killing in the Ohio valley. The southwest needs moisture first, then higher temperatures. Reverse conditions will deteriorate the plant rapidly in Oklahoma and Western Kansas. Win tery conditions continue to prevail in the northwest and fears of late seeding were expressed in numerous messages from Minneapolis and Manitoba. The forecast offers no immediate relief. Minneapolis reported an improved flour demand and half of the mills will resume operations Monday. The opening cables did not re- spOnu 10 our ddVAnce yesterday ana closed but hc up for the day. Estimated receipts for Saturday, 20 cars.
 Corn--AIIer ruling dull and featureless during the forenoon corn turned weak with wheat There were sharp loss in all options but more especially in the May. The bull party seemed willing to sell the May throughout the session and disposed of fair quantity. Receipts were small and grading unusually good. Armour took all limited offerings in the sample market and cash was up %@1c a bushel. Thirty one cars of contract were included in todays receipts of the 31 and private houses contributed approx innate 11,000 bushels more. The steady improved grading confirms the theory that farmers sold their poor corn in the

 New York, April 14--The principal fea- ture of the market today was it's extreme dullness, the fluctuations as q rule, were not important. Commission houses allow ed business to languish and the operations of London were trifling on balance and ex- ercised to no influence, even the bank statement forecasts of an extremely large cash gain by the banks failed to stir speculation. The first part of the day was marked by some recessions and rather heavy tone. but in the afternoon prices showed some improvement, al though the character of the dealings were not changed the move in Consolidated Gas attracted deal of attention and sev- eral commission houses were prominent among the buyers The stock was in- fiuenced by the public defense which the company has made of the Ramsen bill and there were rumors that Mayor Mo- Clellan was favorably disposed towards the measure Rubber goods was dealt in to an unusual extent. Apparently an adverse view was taken of the company's annual report and the stock closed with loss of over per cent. Strong features of railway list was Wabash. St. Paul and Fries latter influenced by rumors of sig nificant changes in the management, none of which, however, received the slight est confirmation. Strength of Wabash was due to prospect of largely Increased earnings from extension Into Pittsburg, which is now about ready to be opened. As a rule net changes in prices else where were not important The market, however, closed strong Total sales 2,S51.-
