 NEW YORK, April se.--The cotton future market to-day was quiet and rather fea- tureiess, although there was a better ten- dency shorts being ggpd buyers. The for sign advices were much better than looked for, and private cables were encouraEiug. There was a good demand for spot cotton abroad, but the demand this side cen tered only in certain grades. and 1t was figured that spinners were not after duan- tity. but rather after quality. The firmer tone noted to-day was in part due to huy- dition of the market and the belief that the liquidation had about run its course for the time being. The movement was moderate. The teegrams from the South attracted con- siderable attention. but the crop advices as a whole were quite conflicting. Talk of big acreage continued in force. but in Texas considerable replanting was report cd to be necessary. following early unfa- vorable weather conditions. There was some complaint of lack of moisture in the Allan tic States. though generally the conditions were quite encouraging. The advices from the mill districts were mixed. but 1t was figured that the spinners were working to affect the spot markets and hence conserva- tive interests did not pay much attention to he advices received through some sources The weekly circulars are conflicting in their interpretations of the situation but gener- ally a builish feeling prevails. The out side long interest in the market was fig ured to be of substantial proportions, but ments were stili noted on the short side of the account. On the close the feeling was of some opposition to advancing prices. The estimated port receipts for the day were 5000, against s,o2s for the same day last year.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND pRovTsToNs.

CHICAGO, April S0.--Rettefated reprts of buying in the wheat fields were respon- sible for the strength in the wheat market to-day in face of favorable weather. July closed Sc higher. Corn # q Ac down. oats Ac up. provisions are off 2M @7hc.
 Indifferent cables and brilliant weather throughout the Northwest and Southwest caused an easier tone in wheat at the opening. July being down kc at S4%. An soon developed. with shorts free buyers of May, and that option sold up about a cent while July advanced hc. The leading fac tor was the almost sensationaliy buiiish crop news from the Ohio valley. Local traders who have had an opportunity of viewing fields in that section during the past week found 1t difficult to express the extent of the damage. Many strengthening influences was a good demand for cash wheat here and in the Northwest. Prob able delay in the opening of navigation tended to strengthen the situation. as with the supply of wheat from Duluth cut off there would be a better demand. Here late of a few holders to take profits over Sun day checked the advancing tendency, but the close was firm and near the high point July closed at s5h. May ranged between sST and 90, closing at S9%, Clearances equaled 13s,400 bushels. Primary receipts were 1s5. .100 against s6s,so0 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis.

e. E. PIERCE & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

NEW ORLEANS, April 3o--The week closed with cotton quiet and steady. Opin- ions are divided as to the ultimate course of prices. but in the absence of fresh de- veiopments both sides are content to let time do the work The shrinkage in spin ners' takings has stimulated the belief that within the compass of supply, yet many ad- here to the view that splnners were handi- capped by determination of dry goods peo- nie to abstain from active purchases and 1t is only a question of deferring the demand to a subseauent period when the erect on prices will be more pronounced.

Caldwell, Ward & Co.'s Stock Letter.

MONTGOMERY, April 30.-To- days stock market was excessively dull and almost nominal far significance of the deal ings or fluctuations were concerned, the day might have been crossed out of the financial calendar. A heavy tone prevailed at the start. apparently due to little more than inanimation. Notwithstanding the ex- treme ease in money there was disposition to view the prospect of further gold ex- ports with some sent.S-ental despondency. Some discussion also turned upon the pos sible adverse developments in the court pro- ceedings involving the Northern Securities case next week There is some disposi- tion on the part of traders to await the test of the investment market to be fur nished next week by the large offerings of low rate New York City bonds In only a few instances were fluctuations more than fractional. Realty preferred was marked up a point, however Gas was strong; Steel preferred showed fair resistance to con tinued pressure. The publication of the bank statement had no speculative effect. although the statement was generally fa- vorable in view of the circumstances of heavy gold exports. The market closed dull and heavy.

 NEW ORLEANS. April 30-Notwith- standing Liverpool was more favorable than expected our market only opened higher on near months, but declined on the late shortly after enough fresh buying caused an advance Of 1 to to new months, and the old eased off slightly, subsequently,, however they also improved to on shorts covering. Later in the session the bearish visible supply and spinnerS' takings statements. and the warmer weather throughout the belt occasioned break of Is from the top on the near positions and 6 to 10 on the late, making tho net loss 8 to g points old crop months and il points on the
 ed 5000 during the week, against de- crease of 60.Oo0 last year. The visible sup ply of American during the same time de- creased 67,000, against S3,000 last year.
 The total visible of all kinds Is now g. s74,oe0, against 3.1s2.0oo last year. of which the American is 1.7eo.ooo, against stock of American ashore and sf1ost is 597, 900, against 70S, 900 last year.
 The spinners' takings of American during the week were 133, 900, against 1eo,0oO last 1st to date have been S,306, 000 against B. 0o,000 last year, or sS4.000 less, Indicating a consumption of lo2e3,0oo for the season on the face of the takings. The moyement on it's face points to a crop Of 10,210,O 900; therefore 1t will he seen from the above that while the movement since She first 
 takings of American during the same time have been relatively smaller. On April ist the indicated crop was 1O,392,000 and the consumption of American pointed to 10.- 4S5,000. and the increase in the American visible under last year 222.000 During the interim the indicated crop has been re- duced to l0,210.000. or 1s2.000 less. the in- dIcated consumption to 1O.2sb,ooo. or 22o.- 900 less, and the visible supply Of Ameri- can shows decrease of 1ss.000, or a rela- tive gain of S1.o0O. In other words. while the out-turn of the crop on the face of the movement since April 1st has been reduced 1S2, ,000, spinners' takings have decreased 220. 900 or 36. 900 more, and the decrease in the visible supply of American has been cut down from 222,0 to 1SS,00O. having gained 34.0O0. This proves conclusvely that spinners have generally resorted to short time and if they continue to pursue such policy there will be deficiency to got re- quirements even if the out-turn is only l0.- 00e, 900. especially when it is remembered that I.l92.o00 carried over from last year in the visible and invisible supply of American. These figures demonstrate that spinners hold the key to the situation and that their future action will regulate the values of old crop months. The crop options will be ruled by weather condi- tions.

forced to give chief attention to the stocks abroad and Ignore all fechnicafities for the reason that American stocks at ports and counted towns are undergoing steady de- pletion and It is evident that holdings at amounted interior points are not or suf- ficient quantity to be relied on in se- rious way. Thus with numerous cofnpiatnts at hand concerning necessity for replanting. and prospects for an early movement of the new crop somewhat clouded, the short sell CT seems to be assuming greater risk by far and buying on easy periods appears the best policy to pursue for the present.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
ADVANCE OF 4 TO l2 POINTS AT
 THE OPENING.
Some Dealers Preferred Liquidation to Carrying Cotton Over Sum day and Part of the
 Gains Was Lost.

New York, April 30.-The cotton mar ket opened at an advance of 4ql2 points on room covering and some little buying of the new crop through commission houses based on a bullish set of Liver pool cables and continued talk of lower temperature than desirable in the cotton country. There was considerable iqui- ring profits to carrying cotton over Sun day and risking a more favorable turn in weather conditions, and following the call the market lost a point or two of the advance but ruled generally steady in tone with business limited. The visi- ple supply statement was quite as bear ish as expected as to spinners takings during the week.
 Receipts at ports 11,211 bales against 6,110 last week and 6.023 last year. For the week $500 bales against 4l,303 last week and 69.29S last year. Today's re- eeipts at New Orleans were 4,142 bales against 1,5z9 last year and at Houston 1.060 bales against io.453 last year.
