expressed qualification by the president
of the Reading that this company was
indebted by graft pratices. Reading and
the eoalers were made the lever for prop
ping the market and lifting prices to a
higher level. The movement spread to
other points, however, and traders who
went short yesterday were generally in
clined to cover today. There was general
satisfaction expressed over the tranquil
manner in which the resumption of bank
ing was affected In San Francisco and
confidence was expressed that early re-
turn of cash to New York banks would
follow. The transfer through the sub
treasury today of nearly $500 900 from
San Francisco to New York was not with
out effect on sentiment. although that
amount of gold was received in San Fran
cisco yesterday from Australia and the
largest part of today's transfer was
known definitely to be in course Of re-
mttahce of this gold to the bank here,
which engaged it in Australia. Some of
the New York banks had information,
however, from their San Francisco cor
respondents of intended shipments from
there next week amounting to several
millions dollars. Reports of a $25, 200
loan in prospect by Paris bankers to
five insurance companies opened a new
phase of the resources opened in Paris
money market to American borrowers
after the example of the Pennsylvania.

Call money rose again during the day
with an effect of admonition of the re-

stock and for Delaware and Hudson con-
vertible bonds due tomorrow were cases
in point today. A good effect was pro-
duced on sentiment by the report of
wage advances to New England cotton
operatives. Prices reacted to some extent
during the afternoon, but rose again to
the best of the day under the influence
of the Reading movement and the clos

Ware q LeIand's Market Letter

While the cotton future market today
was as dead as Hector.s pup, the same
could not be said about the spot mar
ket. Buyers were out securing factors
sample rooms early in the morning and
they kept at it all day.
The found offerings scanty and the
largest buyers were finally reduced to
the necessity of buying odds and ends to
make up the lots that they desire to
ship before the end OF May. 1t looks as
If the end of the month scramble among
exporters this month will be as furious
as it was In April
This buying of spots, or rather the at
tempt to buy spots for trading was neces-
sarlly restricted by the scanty supply
gave the near positions IN the future
market a steady tone, while the late po-
sitions were steadied by the efforts of
shorts to cover. There is no lodging the
fact that the new crop months are over
sold else they would have declined on
the favorable map this morning.

Abercrombie & Co.'s Market Letter.

The market ruled dull but steady to-
day, not because of the want of inter-
esting features, the days develop
ments were many, and in some instances,
very imparting.
As II to confirm private advices. the
New York Commercial published the re-
suits OF returns from its correspondents
on the probable increase in this years
acreage over last year, the increase be-
ing placed at only 2S per cent; the num-
Der of acres being estimated at 27,769 635
acres, against 26.9ssOo0 acres one year
ago.
This statement Is In keeping with the
general idea that the government will
report 100000 acres as the amount OF
land DEVOTED to cotton this year or about
100000 acres more than last years area.
Could the trade but make its mind to
accept such a figure as the probable num-
Der Of acres to be reported by the gov
eminent about June 4, there Is no doubt
but that there would be many converts
found In the ranks of the bull party.

again in good demand. and today but linn

changed to points up. Good weather
over the belt counteracted the Influence
of bullish Liverpool cables. and the re-
mort that the Monsoon had broken in
India. Trading was moderate all day. but
the market had a good undertone on short
covering, which finally. toward the close
caused an advance on the active posi-
lions of points over yesterdays clos
ing. The market closed steady at a net
advance of 3 to 10 points.

Gilbert & CLAWS Market Letter.

Options in liverpool fully responded TO
the slight advance yesterday in the
American market. and closing prices
showed a gain of points, while the
total spot sales amounted to 1900 bales
at loss of l point. The only foreign
news of consequence was to the effect
that the India drouth mad been broken
and this at such an early date Is con-
sidered favorable
The map today was very good In that
localities that were in much need of mois-
ture, especially in the western belt, had
been visited by rains that were bene-
flciar to the growing crop. The disturb
ance over the South Atlantic coast has
caused general rains to occur In that sec
ton, and prospects for tomorrow are for
furtherance of these conditions, espe-
cialy In Georgia, where the plants are
still reported in need of moisture.
