Market Letter.

(Special to News and Observer
New York, March 30.-Today's market
opened with rush of buying orders,
which carried many issues to the highest
point reached this year.
While there was considerable profit tax
ing on the extended advance, the market
continued to move upward on heavy buy
ing for commission houses, whose business
has increased considerably of late. Inter
est continues to center in Union Pacific
and ST. Paul, and it now seems probable
that the two systems will be brought in
to closer relations by the admission of st.
Paul interests into the Union Pacific di
rectorate, thus continuing the community
of interest idea as basis for future op-
erations which were interrupted by the
formatir of the Northern Securities Com.
pany lily declared to be in restraint
of trare. After alternate periods of
weakness and strength wheat closed prac.
tically unchanged. The early weakness
was attributed to improved weather con
ditons. but later the strength of corn was
extended, and it quickly recovered it's
early loss of about one cent per
bushel.
Trading in today's market for cotton
was dull and without particular feature
kilograms from the South reported some
improvements in spot markets, and the
New Orleans market for futures was rel
atively higher than this market Liver

Cotton Letter.

Raleigh. N. c.. March 30.-After all is
said and done the market today was a
greater exhibition of strength than of
weakness. There was very little business,
almost none. yet the prices held well.
Liverpool waited to advance in a way to
bring in outside buyers here, and of
course the holiday had something to do
with il. New Orleans was firm. Prices
there ran all the way from 50 to 45 points
over us on July and May sold Is to 20
points over May here As long as Liver
pool keeps a cent over May and New Or
leans keeps it's premium there IS not like,
~ to be much pressure on the New York
market. In fact it is question whether
shorts will not grow nervous in the event
of good exports and small receipts dur
ing the next few weeks. 1t is strong
position we have in cotton and the only
trouble is traders not too long and have
to shell out on the first break A. 800
cotton is selling at a good price and we
would buy on breaks only. In case Liv-
erpool takes the cotton she should take,
or the amount those conversant with facts
in the case believe she must take, there
is likely to be a lively market for some
weeks. For the present buyers at 1900
arc not numerous and it takes break 10
bring in business. There seems to be
money in taking cotton on weak spots and
not getting OBSCURE ged because nrices
move some lower. Buyers have always
been able to get out at profit trading
on this basis.

SSH bales last year. New York spots dull

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. March 30.-There was pra2-
tically no limit to the surmise and con-
lecture with which professional Wall
street INDUCED itself today over the
hidden significance of the accumulation
of Union Pacific stock. which has been
the mystery in the market now for many
days. The favorite hypothesis at the out
set today was that the accumulation was
in the interest of the st. Paul interests
and it was asserted with every appear
ance of conviction that an official state
ment would shortly be forthcoming from
the st. Paul authority that they had Sc
cured 100000 shares of Union Pacific. 1t
is a matter of common notorlety, also
that relations between st. Paul anu
Union Pacific in the interchange of trafic
and of common ownership of stock are al
ready close But the assumption that
self-proteetion nccessitates such action by
st. Paul presumes a similar necessity on
the part of all the Pacific and trans-con'
tlnental railroad systems for a control OF
