NEW YORK. April ls.-fn the cotton fu- tpra market there was e conaiderable mix tuFe of sentiment The operations were largely for the account of room interests
 although a greeat many of the outside shorts covered their contracts under the cover of selling by a prominent local inter- est. The Wall Street element continued to show hsarish tendencies despite the ap- parent builishness of the general situation. the result of light receipts. evidences of ex- haustlon throughout the South, and lower temperatures in many sections of the belt. The crop situation generally was regarded as less favorable, but conservative inter- ests continued to figure that it was yet too early to figure definitely on the crop.

 A bearish mood from the stlrt fin wheat was induced by lower cables and an of- ffctai forecast for showers and warmer westher in Kansas. July opened unchanged to hc lower at ssN @s7. Offerings were quite liberal and apparently there was little inclination to support the market. The de- sire to sell was increased by the Kansas state report which made the condition of 7 winter wheat S3. compared with 7S aa re. ported from Washington. Although advices from Indiana, Michigan and Ohio were iri- sistent regarding the seriousness of crop damage In those States, traders seemed dis inclined to pay heed. NAn imp. ession ap- peared fixed that prevailing prices more than discounted any damage to the eros as a whole. There was little other news of character to encourage the bulls and long wheat continued to come out during the entire day. From s7h July gradually declined to ssA and closed weak at ss% 0 closed at s2h. Clearances equaIed si2,sOo bushels Primary receipts were 225 AOO against zsi,so year ago. Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago reported I3s cars, against lss last week and iso a year ago
 Cold weather throughout the West caused a fair demand for corn at the start and tho market was comparatively firm, considering the easier tone in wheat. But sentiment soon changed and prices started downward Considerable July corn was for sale and it came out in such volume as to suggest lioui- dation for some heavy holder. There was also selling for short account. inspired by predictions of more favorable weather for planting. The market showed no reeupera. tive power. ruling weak the remainder of the day July opened k@kc higher at 50& 96ok, sold between 49M@4sx and sok @soM and closed at 4s%. May ranged between 61tS and 53 and closed at 62% Re ceipts. CT ears. SS contract.
 Oats withstood the weakness of other grains for a time. but in the end succunnbed to persistent selling by some of the heavy longs. The market was quite firm early due to unfavorable weather and strength in cash oats. As the session advanced weak ness developed and the close was near the bottom. July opened a shade to X1Xo higher at 3sh @3sN. sold between 37% and 3SA and closed at 37h. Receipts IT cara
 Provisions were weak from the start under the influence of mo ierate selling by com mission houses and pit traders, Weakness in grains and lower prices for hogs was the main cause of the liquidation.

NEW YORK. April is.-rhe Finaneiel this week says: The notable features Of the statement oi the New York associated banks last week were further expansion in loans and new high records for cash and for public de- posits. The loan item was increased by $4,72i,10o, making s2o,S47,Doo in the last fortnight, $l34.6S3,e00 since the beginning of the year and S5s,o4s, ,00o compared with the end of February. The increase thil week. as was the case in previous weeks was most likely due to syndicate and cor poration borrowing.
 The cash gain reported by the banks was S7,2ss.e00, which amount was s2,30o, 900 less than the gain as estimated upon the trace able movements of money during the week Deposits were increased S1l,605, 500 and the required reserve was thereby augmented S2,- so1.4oo. dedueting which from the gain iu cash left $4,3SS.200 as the increase in sur plus reserve of $27.340.e00
 Computed upon the basis of deposits less those oL$5s. 1s1.7oo public funds. the sur plus is SE1.S52,525. The statement showed a good proof. the sum of the increase In loans and the gain in cash being only S4o5.- 100 greater than the increase in loans it may be noted that the cash gain was made up of $5,s44.6o0 specie and Sl,sfS 0N0 legal tenders This carries both the specie ana the total cash reserve to new high records: the public deposits also show the raaxfrnum since they began to be separately reported In the bank statements.
 Circulation WIS decreased by saos. 500 -h. daily clearings averaged two million less than those of the previous week. the ciear ings on Saturday reflecting Fridays busi- ness were $I9.7a1, 23o, or above the Avera xe. The statement may have been affected to some extent through the preparations which were completed at the end of the weSl for the merger of two local national Inatgtu- tions which will become effective Monday. Loans of individual banks of the assooIatIon showed net gain Of S2.so0, 900 by sIx inStI- tutions. The cash gained by these six banks was ss.s0o.o00 net. S'~

The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-04-17

There was small demand for spot cotton and the offerings were light. The news from the spinning districts continued rather bearish since curtaiiment of consumption wss indicated. The foreign adviees were about as expected and the operations of the foreign houses were without special fea- fure. There was . conflicting feeling in the latter part of the day. and on the close the beading operators were pretty we'll di- vided in their opinions with reference to the probable future course of the market However, surface indications as a whole were quite buIlish. The estimated port re- ceipts for the day were 13.ooo. against s. $40 for the same day last year.

NEW YORK. April l6--Cables thls morning were weak and disappointing. Tn consequence of which New York opened some down but rallied to near last nights close. No satisfactory reason was given for the weakness in Liverpool but 1t was Eener. ally credited to manipulation by bears from this side. Some private cables report trade good. This. with predictions ot cold wealth CT in the western part of the belt, induced some bear covering; which was mostly pro fessionaL The absence Of the usual public trade Is making it difficult for the bulls here and in New Orleans to sustain the market in face of the efforts of the bear pool who are now at work. but as more ssa- sonable weather comes on. we expect iTn- provement in the trade generally. and tho option list will become more active. The prospect of cool weather during next two weeks is checking opinions the short side of the new crop rnonths and some are now predicting further advances. Liverpool Is due to come up Monday.

tby Private Wire from C. W. Lee Co. ]
 NEW YORK, April l6.--The cotton mar. ket broke 20 points this morning on the decline of points in the Liverpool mar. ket. The decline in Liverpool could be ac- counted for by the selling there of cotton bought on straddles when tho Liverpool, New York difference was only 30 or 20 points, Now It is tso or l40 points, a clear gain of s5fa bale. This is too good q thing to lose. The selling there was followed by buying here, to cover the shorts and this should hold the, local market. In addition to this buying. the cold weather in the West and South caused some short covering. There is no denying the fact that the sea son is' q Dit late and instead of being early Is now going to be the other extreme For mid. April 1t Is pretty cold. This means we must all keep our eyes on October. That option ran up to Il. 90 this morning. July was 50 points lower than . week ago while october was about points off We believe in the purchase of october on any breaks as long as crop news is not Rood
 The Tuesday weather report will be bad.
