COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 14.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady ut an advance of
10@15 points on old crop months on
a continuation of the covering noted
late yesterday, which was accelerated
by rather better cables than expected.
while the new crop was a little lower
under liquidation 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 it
declined until in the early afternoon
May had been driven down to 10. Tic,
against IA. loo at the opening, and a
net loss of 20 points, while July was
selling around 10 s3c. comparing with
1860, the high point Of the morning,
and with 14.25c at the close last night
The decline to below IA cents for
July, however. attracted considerable
demand from room shorts, and around
II o'clock the market was rallied very
sharply by reports of big spot bust
ness in New Orleans. said to amount

ALL GRADES OF ROsINs HELD

Factors Do Not Look for an Imme-

Are in Demand-SaIes of Spirits
Amounted to 40 Casks, All OF
Which Were Reported at the
First Call; While ROsin Sales Re-
ported Were 949 Barrels.
Both turpentine and rosin remained
unchanged yesterday, the former was
quoted at 54Ac, and all grades of resins
retained their equanimity.
The inquiry in both branches of the
naval stores industry was exception
ably good, and both factors and ex-
pOrters were encouraged by the out
look. The sales of spirits amounted
to 410 casks, all of which were report
ed at the first call. The receipts were
1853 casks, and the exports POS casks.
Rosins.-All grades of resins remain
ed firm. and there was no change in
official quotations.
Factors are we'll satisfied with the
market, and do not look for any imme-
date change in quotations. The sales
of resins amounted to 949 barrels, re-
ceipts 1882 barrels, and exports 2,7S4
barrels,

HERE'S A FISH STORY.

A dispatch from Pensacola says: A
Pensacola physician reports the sue
cessful performance of a difficult and
very dangerous operation few days
ago, and one to which a great deal OF
mystery is attached. Some days ago a
very prominent woman in Pensacola
was seized with violent cramps. The
physician was consulted and he readily
realized that there was trouble with
the stomach. By the aid of surgical
appliances, he extracted from the
woman a live fish, two inches in length,
which had all the live characteristics
of such creatures in it. The creature
really jumped about. The doctor was
as much at sea as a foreigner for a
name of the find" and will send the
specimen to the Smithsonian Institute
with the explanation. Names are
withheld to overcome any possible and
very natural embarrassment.

November, 1L52q1L55c; December,
l150c bid.
Immense spot demands that develop
ed in the local market to-day played
the game into the hands of the bulls
after the bears seemed fully assured
OF being able to put prices still lower.
Early in the afternoon rumors of i'm
mense spot sales were spread about,
and these were later confirmed by the
official spot report Total spot sales
were 1850 bales. This equals the en-
tire amount of trading done during the
whole of last week. Spot cotton quo
tations were unchanged.
Such trading had to have it's effect
on futures, and they showed sensa-
tional advances from the lower levels
gressive short selling during the morn
ing. The future market closed steady,
with May showing a net gain for the
day of &c points, at 1447c; July, 10
points, at 14.S6c, and October, points,
at 11.70c.
Just before the close May was 76
points higher than the lowest level of
the day. at 1453c, and July was 70
points higher than the lowest at 1880.
The sensation of the day was found
in the immense spot transaction by
w. P. Brown & Co They bought 5000
bales of spots. This was easily the
largest single spot transaction ever
made on the Cotton Exchange. The
amount of money involved in it was
approximately $750,0O0, as the cotton
was high grade.

On a Break on Present Conditions.

On a Break on Present Conditions.
Savannah Ga, April 14.-For the
first time since the census report July
sold under IA cents. There was no
change in the character of the market.
All who were trading seemed to be SELL
ing. Now and then there would be
move of short covering, but cotton
came out on any advance and the i'm
provement did not hold. After break
ing IA cents July rallied from 13.94c to
140Sc, and then grew irregular.
Professionals sold generally and as
long as the situation failed to show
any change there was no more induce
ment to buy at IA cents, than at Is
cents.
The simple fact that prices are low
err does not change the position. 1t
looks as though the market would
work lower before the May option is
taken care of here. There is a big lot
of cotton here and in New Orleans.
The time to get a good market is aft
er May, or early June, when the actual
stuff has been disposed of, and there
are some bad crop accounts to put the
market up on. AS soon as there is a
large short interest in the market it
will be different. For while we

to nearly $4,000 bales, some of which
was said to be for exports. These re-
ports were accompanied by gossip
claiming that a bull pool had been
formed among prominent New Orleans
interests, who had started their cam
paign by purchasing all the spot cot
ton likely to come on the market. and
this story was colored to some extent
by flood of buying orders from New
Orleans 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 in some instances selling

best of the session. Sales were esti-

Say That Liverpool is due to Come
Up II TO rs Points To-day.
Savannah. Ga, April 1.-THE New
York cotton market opened at an ad-
vance, but was very irregular, and
quickly declined under heavy selling
pressure.
Sentiment is sweepingly bearish. so
that all such talk finds willing list
ener. The decline of about $50 points
lately has forced out many weak longs,
and put the future market in a heal
thy condition; for it will show sym
pathetic responses on any activity.
On the strength developed in the spot
market at the decline, there was good
buying around IA cents for July. Re-
ports of sales was $4,000 bales. Spots
at New Orleans, and transactions at
other points was the favorable feature
Of the day. Prices have been pound
ed so that hedges could be closed to
advantage and spots disposed OF with
satisfactory results. The movement is
a constant reminder of what may be
expected in the future for those who
blindly sell the market.
The close tonight was strong at an
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-04-15

Spots stood still on locally yester-
day and no sales We're reported. True
it was that the market declined 25
points. while New York was showing
the white feather TO the tune of 10
digits. But Liverpool kept pace with
the American ring, and the close Of
the day showed the English market %
points down.
New York futures were somewhat
effected by the report that the New
Orleans bull leader was embarrassed,
and this fact occasioned some weak
ness in the general trend of things.
Later, however, this report turned
out to be without foundation, and de-
spite the bear pressure the market re-
covered itself.
There was but little doing in the f..
o. b. ring. The market opened at
141ac, and was quoted steady. 1t
closed quiet at 145sc on a basis of
good middling. Brokers generally re-
ported a good inquiry, but the fiuctu-
alton of futures tended somewhat to
keep producers and exporters apart.
Receipts continue light, and accord
ing to the bulls, the statistical position
of cotton was never better than at the
Dreseut
