In Clinton, Iowa, when he heard Rep

PRICES HIGHER IN COTTON MARKET Close Was at a Small Net

SALES WERE 100000 BALES
Strength of Liverpool and Reports of Big Trade Demand Tended to Offset the Bearish
 Influence.

New York, April 5.-Trading in cotton were generally higher, and the close was a net advance of or points. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
 The market opened firm at an advance of to points, and soon showed a net gain of to II points with May selling at Il 24 July Il IS and October 10. .56, or at net new high point for the move ment on the new crop and within to points of the highest on the old crop months. The advance was due to higher cables and the bulish private adviees from Liverpool reporting big trade de- mand, the large spot sales in the Eng fish market and covering of recent sel- lers. But there was no sign of bullish support or of a broadening outside de- msnd, and as soon as the demands of smaller shorts had been satisfied, the market hestated and sagged off within or ? points of last nights finals; this was followed by a second rally in the afternoon on reports of firm spot mar kets and large exports, together with private reports of rains in the Memphis district, which were not shown on the early map. The close was quiet and steady and within ? or points of the best on the new crop months. The strength of Liverpool and reports of big trade de mand tended to offset the bearish in fiuence The spot markets were unchanged to ls cent higher.

MONEY STRINGENCY STILL UNREL|EVED Speculative Activity in Stocks is
 ParaIyzed SOME ANIMATION EARLY Selling Pressure Was sngularIy Free From Urgency and the Effect
 On Prices Was But
 Slight.
SOME ANIMATION EARLl

New York, April 5.-strngency in the money market was unrelieved today, and indeed showed evidence of aggravation. effect was to paralyze speculative ac- tivity in the stock market Early in the day there was some show of animation and marking up of prices in an apparent effort to revive speculative interest and keep prices moving upwards. The at tempt was almost entirely abandoned as soon as the loaning operations for the day began.
 The selling pressure, however, was sim gularly free from urgency. and the effect or prices was slight. The argument Is heard in this connection that the indiffer- ence of the market to the high rates for call loans is evidence of the equipment of the active parties to the speculation with money resources secured in time to answer, which leave them exempt from the exigencies of the call loan market. The highly professional character of the commitments in the stock market is argued from the small general response in the way of scattered selling orders to the sharp squeezes in money. In the periods of ordinary speculative activity a furry in call loans to as high as 10 per cent has the effect of introducing a spill ing out of liquidation on the part of holders unwilling to carry stocks at the rate of interest. There has been no evil dence of any such result thus far this week, except in a small way, and the speculative position is maintained with stubborn pertinacity. The prices of stock have been held at an average level con- siderably above that at the close of last week, although the maximum money rate on each successful day has mounted to a higher level
 Last weeks speculation was based largely upon the confidence that any furry there might be in money would be

Ware 6. LeIand's Market Letter.

There was another turn Of the screws this morning, during which May went to II .24 and July Il. IS. On the advance the usual realizing took place during the mar ket lacked support during the decline that followed Those who sold early bought back their cotton, but beyond this there was no general buying noticeable. New crops moved up in sympathy with the rise in May and July and this led to more or less nervousness on the part of shorts. Showers were predlcted in many portions of the cotton belt and the weather map was not encouraging to sellers The action of the Liverpool mar lSet, where prices were advanced to prae- tically the high level of the recent move ment, shows that those in control of the market has things very well in hand. and the advance has now been carried to q point where many are forced to conclude that the bull party will receive cotton held on contract In May. This will lead to a very similar market in the near fu- ture to that we have seen for two weeks past, and as long as support is forth coming and no change in the attitude or those holding the May contracts it Is noticeable the market will be an irregular one in which purchases can be made on declines and sales on advances when profits are shown.

Sales. High. Low. Close.

temporary and would pass the worst on Monday It is hardly sufficient explana- tion of the indifference to the money rate reflected in the stock market today that speculative holders are supplied with time funds in view of the very active borrow ing which occurs at the stock exchange day after day, and the eager bidding which carries the call loan rate up with feverish fluctuations. Today the rate reached 15 per cent by noon and 90 per cent before the close. Discussion centered entirely in the money situation. Rumors were current during the early part of the day of all engagement of several million dollars gold for import
 Negotiations for gold were in progress, but no actual engagements were made during the stock exchange session. Con- ditions all pointed to the success of these negotiations, however. The money strin- gency here works to that end. The reduc- tion in the Bank of England rate and the yielding in the private discount rate in London favored the operations. The downward plunge in foreign exchange here opens the way to it. Sterling ex- change at Paris, however, was weak and there seems to be a continued demand at that center for gold. The drain on local bank reserves continued large today. Transfers through the sub-treasuTy were made of $50000O to San Francisco and of $400,0OO to New Orleans. The movement
 Is supplemented by the express ship inents of currency, and the sub-treasury absorption continues large on account of customs collections. These conditions leave no room for mystery over the strin- geney of the money market
 Other considerations were ignored. Re- ports of intended concessions by the an thracite miners in their demands and the declaration of an additional dividend on the preferred stock of the Missouri Kan sas and Texas company were of slight offsetting effect.
 The money situation produced its great est effect during the furry in the closing dealings, and the closing was conse- quently weak, but the days declines were restricted to moderate proportions.

cIbert q Claw. Marked Letter.

The foreign market was more than gem erous in it's disposition of information, cables almost without exception were of one accord in expressing more favorable opinions of the present market. Options from the opening steadily advanced until closing prices showed a gain of points over yesterday. Spot sales of 15.O0o bales were very satisfactory.
 The local market this morning awoke to the fact that the world had suddenly become inspired with bullish sentiments. and the increased activity on the open ing made it appear for few moments as though speculative interests had again become factor. There were many n- fiuences at work to bring about these intensified conditions and among these was the support of a good sound charac- ter from the old time bull crowd. The weather in so far as that district west of the Mississippi river Is concerned was again unfavorable and while rains there may be otherwise beneficial. there is hardly any doubt but that they have re- tarded considerably the planting Of seed.
