STRIKING ADVANCE
 IN STOCK MARKET Number of Important Interests Become Very Active MEN OF WEALTH IN GAME A Large Element Is Suspicious of the Rise In Some Stocks, But Are
 Unable to Turn the
 Tide of Trading.
MEN OF WEALTH IN GAME

New York, May 1.-The stock market made further demonstration of its re- cuperative vitality today in the further striking advances effected in prices of a large number of important stocks. The current belief in the financial district continues to be that the operations which cause the advances are largely in the hands of professionals or habitual specu- 1ators formed into market combinations and made mp of men of great wealth. Commission houses report that there is small evidence of any widespread general interest in the market. The accumulation of stocks from whatever source went on with great apparent confidence, however, and prices were pushed upwards with out meeting selling orders sufficient in volume to overcome the upward tendency. Board room traders professed their dis trust in the movement at times, and tested its force by opposing short sales, and by attempts to offer prices down. These efforts to turn the market were uniformly unsuccessful. and the traders were forced to shift their action and buy back, stocks, thus helping on the ad- vance. Their distrust of the rise was based upon the extent to which 1t has unfayorable view of any actual occur rences bearing on values. They professed their skepticism also of the capacity of the market to afford prices at the high CT level of prices on the speculative ac-

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

Todays cotton market. though dull and apparently easy at times, had good un- dertone throughout the entire session and values were not materially altered as a result of the days trading. The spot sit uatlon remained unchanged The demand was not especially active, but on the other ton to offer, and were not inclined to make the least concession on prices, as an n- ducement for buyers to take hold.
 While the majority of operators in cot ton have shown a disposition to ignore the reports now becoming general of seri- ous damage done by the frosts that occur red yesterday in many portions of the At lantic states, we are inclined to think, we are of the opinion that the crop in that section of the belt at least has sus- tained decided setback, the bullsh in- fiuence of which will be more fully appre- ciated later on.
 Those who have closely followed crop conditions in the Atantics know that the ward owing to the lack of moisture a while back. Beneficial rains came Just when needed and the crop was coming uu to good stand when the recent cold wave came bringing with 1t nipping frosts which the plant was too young and ten der, in most cases, to withstand Our private telegra phic advices received from the Carolnas today indicate that the crop, especially in North Carolina has been damaged 80 per cent and reported that planters were already blowing up the land. with view of re-plan anting

cumulations which have been made ow- ing to the light general demand for stocks which has shown itself thus far. The action of the market, however in- dcates a digestion of profits going on from time to time in the course of the advance. Thus the stocks which are strong one day are either reacuonary or held only stationary during, the next day under the influence of the steady selling, while advances at new points serve as sustaining influence. This course of pro- cedure has justified itself up to the pres ent time despite the distrust professed towards it by a considerable speculative element. The broad underlying basis for the movement is the effective decline in interest rates. This was further evident today in the rates both for call and time loans. The banks have gained apparently several million dollars on the express movement this week with the interior. The account of sub-treasury operations shows on it's face a face loss by the banks of $4O9 but this includes the return by the banks of government deposits, which were made contingent upon ar rivals of gold engagements, some having amounted this week to g, ,456.500. A net gain in cash by the banks, therefore, Of upward of $5,O00,00O seems indicated
 Foreign exchange rates also eased off today and it was reported that some re-
 
 on account of the British fire insurance companies It is assumed by the specula- tive party in Wall street that practi- cary the whole volume of fire losses by the British companies yet remains to be remitted, and it is expected that these sums will remain on deposit in New York for some time before being ultimate ly distributed to the San Francisco claimants. Attention was given to re- ports of the probable fixing an early date for the resumption 9f business by the San Francisco banks as a return flow of currency is expected to follow promptly when this resumption occurs and the demands upon deposits are defined. Some effect was caused by the arrival at the final stages of the railroad rate legisla- ton as the definite clearing up of that matter is expected to relieve the stock market of some cause for depression.
 Reports of crop damage by the cold weather were ignored in the stock mar ket An advance in the price of copper was an incident of the day, and many rumors were revived of intended divi- dend increases and projects for consoli- dation and financial readjustment. The occasional irregularty caused by the con- tinual profit taking was in evidence again, and the market closed irregular. but the strong undertone was not materially al- tered, and in fact seemed to gather force throughout the day.

THE CABLES DISAPPOINTING

New York May 1.-The cotton market was less active today and ruled irregular within a narrow range. The close was steady at an advance of l point to a de- cline of } points. Sales of the day were es- timated at 25O0OO bales. The opening was steady al unchanged prices to decline of points in response to somewhat dis appointing cables, but there was re- newal of covering and bull support noted yesterday and right after the opening prices worked up to net advance of to points. led by the old crop months Of ferings increased on the advance and seemed to be for both long and short account owing to the disposition to ex- pect a reaction after an advance of about 1ac a pound in prices and the improved weather oyer the south. Temperatures were higher and later reports from the districts where frost was noted yester- day indicated that damage had been com paratively slight. This encouraged local bears to sell quite aggressively early, and prices eased off to q net loss Of about Z to 6 points with the new crop relatively easy and for sale by houses with south ern connections. Bull leaders seemed to be supporting the market in the late trad ing but final prices were at nearly the lowest, May being the only month to show any net advance. According to official reports southern spot markets were gem erally unchanged to 1-16c higher. The English spot market was points higher, although futures there closed unchanged to points lower and spot sales were lo'ooo bales.
 The receipts at the ports today were H. : S5s bales against 17,2s2 last week and 32,514 last year.
 For the week, 7S000 bales against S4'1So last week and 142, 692 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, ll6o bales against .3456 last year, and at Hous- ton 1511 bales against 353S last year.

result of cold snap In the central and eastern portions of the belt was resorted to again today by the professional ele- ment in an effort to entice the public into buying futures irrespective Of high prices prevailing, the argument being ad- vanced that cotton at present prices, and under existing conditions. was an invest ment not a speculation. To give color to the less favorable crop account coming to hand as a result of recent frost for nations in the eastern half Of the belt during the past week. an estimate on the probable acreage of season was made. the increase being placed at only 1 per cent. or 27.252. GOO acres, last years acre age being about 27000,000 acres.
 Liverpool was influenced by such tactics, the English market ruling steadier than expected, closing only point down on old crop arrivals and 2 to points down on new crop deliveries. while spots there were higher by 4 points, sales were 10000. American markets opened some what higher than yesterdays closing level. but as weather conditions had im- proved over night. fair weather and high CT temperatures prevailing all over the belt manipulators were left to swallow their own bait. and rather than do so permitted the market to sagg off after July had advanced to .52 and October l0 6q

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

The cotton market was heavy today and 1t refused to go up on the most sensa- tonal reports of crop damage that tho gossip factories in the bull camp could turn out.
 Liverpool took little heed of the news that was being put out although private advces said that some cablegrams that were sent across the water were to the ef feet that 80 per cent of the crop had been damaged by the recent cold snap.
 On the closing Liverpool showed a net loss for the day of 3 points on the new crop and loss of only 1 point on the old, which looked if Liverpool thought that after all some little cotton would be raised on this side this season.
 The truth Is that the trade in all three markets of the world Is wise to the fact that 1t takes something more than a short cold snap around the first of May to kill the crop.
 There are many cotton men of eXper ence who would rather plant cotton by the middle than by the first of May, today is only the 11th, and there is yet planty of time to put the crop in over the greater portion of the belt.
 The cry of scarcity of seed is heard every season and is generally put out for bullsh effect by those who have seed to sell

eibert 6 clay's Market Letter.

Judging from the steadiness of options in Liverpool. and in the absence of any definite news, the foreign market seem- ed to be more favorably impressed with the fact that at least some damage has been caused by the cold weather that lately visited the belt. Options lost 1 point from yesterdays close, while spots sales 10000 bales at points higher
 Today's market has furnished ample proof of the constant need of support to maintain the new price levels achieved. No one doubts but that manipulation has done It's best in the attempt to bring about further enhancement in the price, but on every occasion. when thls artificial aid Is withdrawn, even though 1t be mo- mentarly, the market saggs, seemingly in accordance with its more natural trend.
 Reports continue to come in of damage to the growing crop by the recent un- reasonable weather, but they differ so widely in character that a certain tlnge of personal interest s naturally assumed. It is likely, however. that considerable injury has been done, but reliable sources of information are of the opln- ion that with the advent of favorable weather, sckly plants will be rejuvenated and the delay that has been occasioned will In all probability be regained.
