Ware 6 Leland's Market Letter.

There was very little change In the manlpulative character of the cotton market today.
 Bulls were helped by very severe rains in the south and shorts in the new crop months became more nervous than here tofore with the result of an advance in both old and new crops In the Liverpool market and corresponding advance in prices here.
 Brokers were sent in the ring to pur chase cotton early fin the day and this caused an advance fin prices to the high level of the movement.
 May sold at 11.SO while July sold at 1122
 There was general covering on the rise and the action of the market showed that the larger interests took advantage of the advance to sell out some of their long cotton.
 On the decline that followed buying was again In evidence and as heretofore the market was supported on the break.
 It is very difficult market to judge but the situation seems to be still in the control of the larger interests and until there are signs of general selling and H. quldation, 1t looks very much as though cotton bought on breaks could be sold at profit on all advances. A spell of bad weather would trouble the short in- terest in the new crop months and for the time being at least there seems to be little in the situation upon which to base short sales

 changed.

New York, March 2S.-The cotton mar ket was moderately active during today's session with the bulls in control appar- ently and prices reaching new high levels for the movement The close was steady at net advance of 2d12 points. Sales for the day were estimated at SOoOO bales
 The market opened firm at an advance of 5dS points in response to higher ca bles and reports of wet weather over the belt. There seemed to be little general dmand, wire and commission houses hav- ing few orders, but sellers on the break of yesterday were covering and the bull clique supported May, leading to revived runors of squeeze of shorts in that position which increased its premium over July to a matter of nearly 10 points net higher at one time during the morn- ing. Before the advance was checked May sold at 11.sO and July at n.22 or about 10d13 points net higher, while De- tober sold at 1O51 or g points net higher. Realizing was quite heavy at the ad- vance and prices eased off in the middle session but rallied again around 11.22 for May and II .13 for July and in the early afternoon sold back level with the high point of the morning on reports of firmer southern spot market and continued sup port from the bull leaders. The close was little off from the top with May quiet at 11.27 and July Ii lS Southern spot markets were reported unchanged to one-auarter of cent higher, and the large offerings reported yesterday had evidently been absorbed or withdrawn. The weather map showed more or less general precipitation, in some places heavy. Some wires were received from the southwest claiming the moisture was necessary and beneficial. but where land has not yet been prepared, the continued wet weather Is said to be causing de- lay.
 Receipts at the ports today 16,477 bales, against 1s39S last week and 36451 last year. For the week 100000 bales against 1O9, 772 last week and 22,712 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, S277 bales, against 1882 last year and at Houston AIS bales, against 16410 last year.

UPWARD TURN IS
 TAKEN BY STOCKS Speculative Sentiment Over the Outlook is Improved MORE BOLDNESS SHOWN  Interest Rates on Time Loans Are De- cllning and This Adds to Conf
 dence Over the Money
 Situation.
MORE BOLDNESS SHOWN

New York, March 2S-Priees of stocks took another upward turn today. The level established on the advance was rather higher than that on Mondays s rise. This show of an increasing capacity to move upwards had the effect of im- proving speculative sentiment over the outlook. There was little to show that operations have reached beyond strictly professional limits.
 The traders, who make up the market, however are of a somewhat more infu- ential class than in the recent past and their operations are. conducted with more boldness and show more force. The move- 1nent is based on the assumption that the turn of the quarter with the expected relaxation in the money market will bring in some outside demand for stocks and iraugurate more general speculative ac- tivity. The professional contingent in the market is keenly alive to a possible op- portunlty to secure the advantage of such a revival in speculation. To obtain the advantage of higher prices for the meeting of this demand, measures for lifting the level of the market are inau- gurated at this time. The continued tran quility of the money market with the near approach of the period for, meeting the quarterly requirements has duieted the fears of furries in the call money mar ket during this week.

ly declining, and this adds to the eonti- dence over the money situation. Appar- ently the hope was indulged that the re- mainder of the week was to be free from any disturbance in the money market, however, but the rise late in the day in the call loan rate to per cent proved rather 8 damper on this hope, and served as a check on the price movement which had gained considerable headway and breadth by that time. The movement started in a very spotty manner, the gen eral list remaining inert in spite of the sharp advances in special stocks, due to individual causes. The increased holdings of subsidiary stocks of the Lake Shore disclosed in its annual report was the motive for some accumulation, and sharp bidding up of the so-ealled junior Van derbilts. The movement in Colrado fuel was based on an assumption of advantage to accrue to that company from a soft coal strike which 1t would be exempt.
 The rise In Reading seemed 10 be on a revision of opinion over the probable effects expected of the soft coal strike on the anthracite industry The argument today was that if the soft coal miners go out 1t will be considered advisable to keep the anthracite miners in, employ ment.

Glbert G Claws Market Letter.

Bullish influences in Liverpool were of such a character as to cause full re- sponse in options to yesterdays advance in the American markets. The closing, however, was barely steady, at an ad- vance of six points and spot sales showed an improvement In transactions of 12.O00 bales. two points higher than yesterday.
 Higher levels were witnessed on the New Orleans opening, but the market was subjected to severe liquidation which carried prices down. Tho depressing ef feet of the advance on good demand for spot cotton Qargely accounted for by the narrowing difference In the shipping party) was In measure offset by fur ther unfavorable weather reports af fecting the belt, and the indications for similar conditions today and tomorrow especially over the eastern division.
 While it is plainly evident that manip- ulation Is. and has been, of late most important factor in affecting the mar ket's course, nevertheless, 1t cannot be denied that the underlying tone of the situation has shown improvement and that this has been largely caused by req sons valid and logical. For even if the diminishing supplies are not alone re- garded of sufficient importance to so have affected values, taken in connection with the continued unfavorableness of the weather, which If prolonged, would occasion a serious delay in planting, con- stitute potent market factors which can not be disregarded. Hence. while these conditions exist. the probability of any marked decline becomes daily less ap- parent, but the disquetude that manipu- latlon brings about may cause price changes to occur over which logical req soning has no control.

THE LOCAL MARKETS

The price of spot cotton still trends up- ward, there being another advance of F points yesterday Good middling closed at 11Ac. This makes an increase of about 75 points in the past two weeks, and it is stated by authorities that the advance is still strong.
 Everything had a lively tone on Morris avenue yesterday. All kinds of produce were in active demand, and the sales were therefore large. The scarcity of lemons and fancy cabbage is responsible for a marked advance in the prices of these products. Strawberries are becoming n It, tie more plentiful and are less expensive. Otherwise the quotations show little change.
 The continued activity of the grocery market still prevails. There were no changes in the quoted prices yesterday.

Lov.man a Co.'s Market Letter.

The cotton market had a good beginning but bad ending today. On unfavorable weather, combihed with a good Liverpool. our market opened steady at an advance of 10 points. May selling as high as Il .37. This proved to be the highest point of the day, the market easing of under pressure of selling until May sold as low as Il .28. At this level the market rallied, but the advance met with stubborn resistance around the level of Il. 30 for May. The strength of spots. however, and the re- ports of rain all over the belt resulted in a good many buying orders, which ab- sorbed all the cotton offered during the early forenoon, the market climbing up to Il .33 for May. A sagging tendency then developed but the market held steady un- til just before the close, the market broke sharply as the result of heavy selling of the May position by a prominent com mission house. For a minutes the ring seemed paralyzed by the sudden unlocked for onslaught on the market May being hammered from II .2S to LIS before the bulls could rally their forces. One of the leading operators on the long side jumped into the break and by buying heavily forced prices up 6 points before the closing. The close was barely steady a. net loss for the day of to points.
