New York, April 2O-The cotton market was less active than yesterday, and after ar early break ruled hrmer, with the close at an advance of to 10 points. Sales for the day estimated at 2oooOO, bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 3 to points on the old crop months, to an advance of 1 to points on the new crop, which was relatively steady, not withstanding the favorable weather. Ca bles were just about as due on the New York close of yesterday. The stock mar ket seemed to be acting steadier and prices here advanced to q net gain of about to points soon after the call on covering of shorts and little bull sup port. But the bulge attracted a renewal of Wall street liquidation, also further selling for short account by local bears, and prices sagged off during the middle of the morning, reaching a net loss of about 3 to points in the early afternoon, with May selling at 1l.os and July at 10.9S. or B to 37 points below the high level of last Tuesday. At this level offerings were appreciably smaller and the market rail- lied sharply in the late trading on reports of firm spot markets covering the shorts, with a renewal of bull support, and re- ports that the bulls would take up all cotton rendered on May contracts toward the close of next week. The close was steady in tone and at practically the highest point of the day

Ware 6 Lelsnd's Market Letter.

Normal events in the cotton market have been over-shadowed by the heart rendering calamity on the coast and al the present writing, apprehension is so great and a definite knowledge of facts so meagre that it is impossible to esti- mate the effects of the catastrophe
 All that can be said is that many hun dreds of millions of dollars seem to have been destroyed and this, in itself, is suffi- cient to account for the feeling of un- certainty and conservatism extending in all directions
 While the general condition of the coun- try is such that the event can hardly in- terrupt the advancing tendency of trade and prosperity, the present condition of the cotton market is such that the ca lamity has made itself felt by rather extensive liquidation.
 There is general feeling that the liquidation may be carried farther as it Is often the case that selling move ment once started has to run It's course and frequently carries prices beyond a normal point.
 It is question whether the interest in the May option has been disturbed by the break and the disposition of cotton on May contracts will not be decided for another week or more
 Until this question Is decided the mar ket will be in unsettled condition and with realizing under way, lower prices for both old and new crops may be eX- perienced for the present.

The market ruled nervous and cratic today.

 The stock market of London and NAw York and London showed but little change at the opening, which was much better than expected, and there were reports of general rains in Texas.
 In consequence Of these developments. the cotton market opened unchanged to a shade higher than yesterdays closing, July here 11.2i. against II .2l; October. i0.34 compared with 10.3i and after lm- proving little more there developed a want of confidence growing out of the San Francisco disaster and the liqulda- tion which set in carried July down to ii IS. and october down 10 1928. The spot market was reported easier at n de- cliAa sf about isc to 3-i6c, but the grant inS Sx such concession would still leave xfddlng on the basis of about llAc, and as May contracts were selling in the neighborhood of n cents. contracts were admitted to be selling at too great a discount when compared with the value Of actual cotton. Late sdvices from the Pacific coast were more cheerful. lnfor- nation from reliable source was to the effect that the fire in San Francisco was comparatively under control and that only about half of the city was de- stroyed.
