mand fair. Sales 24OO bales, including 800

lures opened quiet and steady, and one
to two points up. Responding to manipu-
lations for an advance, prices improved
four to Ave points. Liverpool cables say
that apart from efforts to lift the price
of cotton the market Is in most healthy
condition and operators are gradually be-
ing impressed by the bullish features OF
the staples During the afternoon profit
taking by longs carried prices down UNI
til the gains of the session had been en-
tirely lost The market closed dull, net
unchanged to five points down.

other sources, to have kept the week s
money market as quiet and steady as has
been the case. The bank statement. there
fore, will hardly be looked to as a con-
elusive reflection of the money situation
as a whole, and it is felt that the future
course of the money market will depend
largely upon the readjustment of the
volume of loans, as between the banks
and the trust companies. A number of in
dustrials and specialties were strong from
individual causes.
The southern iron merger. the lead mer-
ger and the benefit to New York traction
companies from future tunnel enterprises,
a settlement of the Montana copper dis
putes were some of the specific instances
of old rumors which played new part
in the days market. The best prices or
the day were touched shortly before the
close, but were not fully held, the close
being irregular.

A more cheerful sentiment prevailed at
the opening of the stock market although
IL was received with indifference In Lon
don. Influencing factors appeared to be
continued. There was ease in money
rates, Notwithstanding preparation for
subscriptions to the Japanese loan, az
we'll as ordinary payments around first
of April and the quarter. Prices through
out the railroad list show gains of sma VI
fractions Union Pacific opened up -,
and like gain was shown by New York
Central. Wabash preferred opened UP y
In the Industrial group iron and steel
stocks were strong, helped by reports of
merger.
Cotton-The cotton market opened quiet
and unchanged from last nipht, but at
once the list began to get active. Sup
port from the same bulls who bought Il
yesterday and offerings were very light;
prices responded with an advance of 5
points ON May and 4 on July and to 3
points on late months. The room element
IS bullish in the face Of poor cables and
continued fine weather throughout the
south, suggesting further large receipts.
Port receipts today 1900 bales, against
5000 for the same date last year.

Loyemsn G. Co.'s Market Letter.

BY II. az -. Beer.
The market continues erratic although
within narrow compass but on one
point there is no room for doubt and that
is that shorts in May find themselves In
a very uncomfortable position. The May
premium at the close tonight Is IA points
over July. The movement for the week,
as expected. was very large but so also
was the exports The clearances up to
o'clock today alone amounted to 4l,367
bales 1t is expected that the movement
for the coming week will show con-
siderable falling off. This Is already fore
Swallowed by the decided decrease In in
terror receipts as compared with the
previous week. One reason also, for ex-
pecting lighter movement in Galveston
and New Orleans, is that an increase
OF 70 cents per bale in the freight rate
from Texas points goes into effect on
April /, and a great deal of cotton was
shipped out of that state this month
to take advantage of the old rates.

Present curtaiIment of Money Market
Resources Is Shown to Be Not
More Than Temporary BY
Days Developments.

New York, March 31.-Today's stock
market was in the hands of the profess
sional traders, and they made little pro-
gress in prices. Only a handful of the
standard market leaders were as much as
a point way from last nights level at any
time. The movement although very slug
gish was a clear index of the convic-
ton on the part of the trading element
that the present curtailment of the money
market resources is the restrictive inhu-
ence on speculation, and that 1t is not
more than temporary
Today was expected to mark the end OF
the period of most urgent requirements for
the Japan bond subscription, and the
April 1 payments. The trading element
seems to be confident that relaxation OF
money will follow Immediately. The tone
OF the early market was more constrained
while the dread was still entertained that
there might be furry in the money
market with the closing day OF the month.
The comparative tranquility OF the call
loan rate, which did not get above AZ per
cent Gained the apprehension and prices
improved late in the day as had been the
case in the same circumstances ABOUT
every day this year. OUTSIDE OF the Ploies-
xicnal circle, however, there was m sur
ring of speculative interests.
Abroad as we'll as here the expectation
of a relaxation of money after the return
of the quarter had its influence on stocks
The estimates for the weeks currency
movement indicate that the payments TO
the sub-treasury, which footed up s4'o6'-
900. have been offset to the extent OF sew
eral hundred thousand dollars by receipts
from the interior on the express move
ment There have been some remlttances
from the interior to participate IN the
Japanese loan subscription. Interior banks
evidently continued to make dra1ts On
their New York correspondents to pay
internal revenue collections, which ac-
