The unlocked for improvement in
Liverpool caused sharp demand for
spot cotton; many buyers evidently
believing that bottom prices have been
reached and are anxious to take ad-
vantage of the low level. Sales 300
bales including 1,750 to arrive, and 200
f. o. b. Quotations advanced, Lie.
Futures opened firm with an advance
of 10 to 30 points. For few min
utes shorts covered frantjcally and then
there was a sudden change: the ring
was flooded with selling orders. These
evidently came from bears and bulls
alike The bulls took profits while
the bears were attempting to stem the
tide that was setting against the mar
ket The selling checked the advance
effectively for a time. but at the most
only sent prices off to II points from
the first levels around the opening
Later i'm the day a strong recovery
was seen which carried prices back
almost to the highest levels of the
previous hours.
Liverpool displayed a firm tone up to
the close and this coupled with the
bad weather shown in the weather
map proved to be too strong fea-
ture for the bears to work against.
In the trading the fluctuations were
numerous, but narrow.
The market closed quiet with net
gains of Is to % points on the old
and to on the new crop positions.

Grain Letter to Hayward, Wick a.
Company.
Chicago, April 26.-Wheat market
was nervous during the morning. but
the trend was upward and before the
close most of yesterdays decline was
recovered. The selling of the past week
was evidently overdone, and we think
liquidation has been pretty thorough,
the market is still local one. which
is the chief drawback to a, sustained
advance.
Corn-The weakness in May in the
covering by some of the larger shorts
were the features in the corn trade
to-day. The discount of the May I'M
der the deferred futures, was further
widened. The strength in wheat was
a sympathetic help. The statistical
news was largely bearish. Receipts

Oats were strong on shorts cover
ing and in sympathy with wheat. Cash
houses were buyers of May, presum-
ably taking in hedges. Trade on the
whole was small. Receipts were half
what they were year ago. Demand
for shipment East slow, but the South
is a fair buyer.

was more buying by packers, presum-

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. April 26.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 1922
points, showing considerab BILE activity
and excitement as a result of covering
by recent sellers and some demand
from houses with European and South
ern connections. promoted presumably
by the firm showing of the Liverpool
market. where futures, instead of be-
ing 3Q5 points lower, were S610 points
higher, with spot cotton in more active
demand than for days past at an ad-
vance of 8 points.
on the other hand the weather map
was somewhat more favorable than ex-
pected, low temperatures being con-
fined to the northern portions of Texas
while the rest of the belt was fairly
seasonable, and the advance of nearly
a quarter of a cent attracted heavy
profit-taking by room bulls. Accord
tagly, the market, after the call, lost
about 10Q15 points, with the late
months leading under liquidation by
Wire houses. New Orleans, however,
sent very bullish wires. The. leaders
in the Southern market were said to
be bidding for large blocks of May
and July, indicating that May notices
would be taken care of, and shorts
here becoming uneasy, with some APP
prehension as to a bullish crop report
at midday continued covering. With
offerings falling off slightly the mar
ket was again advanced, and before
midday was above the opening figures
with the general list net 22G26 points
higher.
The Weather Bureau crop bulletin
proved about a stand Off, but was
followed by some liquidation. not
withstanding which the market showed
a pretty steady undertone until lust
before the close, when aggressive SELL
ing by local spot house broke the
list sharply and prices were finally
barely steady. with the advance cut
down to a matter of 7d16 points.
Sales, estimated, 100000 bales. Port
receipts were below last years esti-
mates moderately full and export
small.

Atlanta, April ,26.-Folowing is the
Georgia crop report for the week end
ed last night:
The week was unseasonably COOL

These conditions were favorable for

Cotton planting continues in the

short on Cotton.
New York April ga natural re-
covery took place in the market to-
day. After a decline of between so and
70 points without a reaction, a rally
was to be expected, but the advance
failed to attract business and there
was little on the reaction that short
covering and buying for an advance on
which to sell again.
The market was somewhat oversold
and enough buying took place in Liv
erpool to put that market up and carry
the level here higher. The general sit
uation did not appear different to an
extent that would attract outside bus
mess. On every recovery to IA cents,
we can expect more selling. There does
not seem to be the demand from Liv-
erpool that is necessary to carry on an
advance. The weekly weather report
was not very good and this helped
some.
We cannot see our way clear to be
short of cotton under the circum-
stances. By June l the crop will look
like ten million, and any bad weather
will put up prices faster than a man
can cover. We would let the market
work back to II cents for October and
then we would buy.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-04-27

it certainly looks dangerous to sell May
contracts here at 1312c and July 13%c.
Speculation would seem to have a
fine field here, but for the moment
speculation is entirely out of the mar
ket, and we can hardly hope for more
than an occasional sharp rally, when
the short interest becomes over ex-
tended. Sentiment, a 5 a rule, contin-
ues quite bearish. and on every rise
like the present additions are made to
the short interest. If the rallies are
frequent enough it is possible that
quite a large interest may be created
in summer months, and should that
happen the market would be in po-
sitiOn to be easily manipulated by a
few bold operators
