COTTON MARKET

SALES WERE 100000 BALES

New York, April 25.-The cotton mar ket was again very nervous and unset tied with fluctuations irregular Sales for the day were estimated 200OO0 bales and the market closed at decline of points to an advance of points
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in response to bet ter cables than expected Private advices attributed the advance in Liverpool to the fixing of the Lancashire wage scale over which there had been some dispute. for another year and the continued trade demand. There was some covering here at the opening but no sign of fresh bull sup port and after working up to I.04 for May and 109s for July, the market weak ened under a renewal of bear pressure and liquidation in spite of the light esti- mates for tomorrow's receipts and this steadier tone of the earlier stock mar ket. The weather in the south continued favorable with the forecast calling for showers where moisture is needed in the eastern belt and rumors that further stop-orders might be reached on addition declines, encouraged quite aggressive sell ing by some of the local professionals who succeeded in forcing the market down to new low level for the move ment around midday. Around 10.91 for May and 10.Sl for July there was a slight rally on covering but the undertone showed little improvement. The close was steady with new crop months showing slight gains.
 Receipts at the ports today. 1O,494 bales against 17,6S1 last week and 24,925 last year. For the week (estimated) 95,0O0 bales against 97.569 last week and 16l,977 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 4223 bales, against TOO last year and at Houston 1893 bales against 6SS5 last year.

Gilbert 3 clay's Market Letter.

Cables reported very healthy demand for spot cotton, a fact that was of some assurance to the trade in that it offsets in
 a measure the pessimistic opinions that
 have lately been ruling on account of the
 smaller spot sales recently observed 1fI
 that marekt. An increase in wages of five
 per cent in the Lancashire district was
 likewise an item of considerable interest.
 Options were one point higher on the close over yesterday and spot sales amounted to 12OOO bales at a similar ad- vance.
 The New Orleans market was subjected to considerable pressure owing 10 the large amount of cotton for sale, but the manner in which offerings were absorbed was q ma tier of considerable speculation
 as to the real source. It seems very like ly, however, that tomorrow being the first notice day for May, the transferring of these contracts into later months account
 ed for the bulk of the trading.
 Much, needed showers are predicted for
 tho eastern belt tomorrow and should they be realized, the excellent crop de- , yeloping weather that the cotton country has largely been experincing of late, will have become a more important Influence. The limited offerings of the more de- sirable grades of spot cotton have re-
 stricted the volume of business. but to- day decided improvement is reported on all sides in the inquiry for staples. No developments of importance have arisen to change the aspect. The scatter cd liquidation of May contracts in antic- patton of the first notice days caused no wide variance in prices. for in reality inc markets have displayed considerable absorbing power and although slightly ir- regular price changes have ensued n good tone has been maintained withal.

Many features of a favorable character developed over night and were reflected in somewhat of higher market in the early morning. The threatened strike of English mill operatives being averted by the master spinners agreeing to the F months scale. Spot sales at Liverpool were larger 12,000 bales at an average of one point, and futures there closed one to two points up on the day Man chester's official cable quoted cloths very firm, only higher prices asked checking business, and yarns were reported as firm. The first installment of the new season crop reports by states was published by the New York Journal of Commerce today and was more bullish than looked for
 American markets only made feeble resistance to these developments, how over New Orleans opening shade high CT than yesterdays closing, but became steader after the first call, July selling as high as Il 16 compared with 1l-0S at the close of yesterday Mir. Ellison issued statement on the worlds probable con- sumption of all kinds of cotton for the year., placing it at 13,91S000 bales, which was construed as bullsh, notwithstanding these figures being accepted as too small. The approaching notice day, however, influenced a great deal of lquidating of long cotton, especially May contracts. and as the weather continued favorable, generally fair all over the belt with fore cast for showers east of the Mississippi river where moisture is claimed to be needed, July sold off to Il .05 and finally closed at n IS.

further movement of currency towards San Francisco but not on as large a scale as on the previous days since the calamity. This caused a feeling that the cash recuperation thought to be nee essary by the San Francisco banks to meet the first calls upon them when open ing for business was approaching com- pletion. This necessary building up of cash reserves is apart from the demand for credits, and for capital in invest ment, which will follow when the work of rebuilding the destroyed part of the city sets in.

lovsman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.


 The cotton market was irregular to- day. Liverpool was favorable. closing at an advance of point on the old and points on the new crop positions. while spots were point higher, with sales of 12.000
 In response to Liverpool our market opened steady at an advance of to , points, and early in the day July con tracts sold as high as Ills. At this level, large selling appeared both here and in New York and the bearish pres sure from both ends carried prices as low as II 05 for July. Later in the day good spot market was reported and good fresh strength to futures was given, which gradually recovered. At the close the market was firm. with futures show ing a net gain for the day of to 1 points on the old and 10 to points on the new crop months. Spots were offi= eially reported firm and 1-1Ge higher on all grades. Sales were 4250 bales, all told mddling cotton was quoted at II 3=l6e.
 A good spot demand, in evidence both in Liverpool and here. was the backbone of the cotton market today. Without this strong sustaining influence, the market would probably have sank to lower level In fact, the market at one time during the day showed a decidedly de- clining tendency which was checked oniy when 1t became generally known that there was a good demand for spots, or which there was only A limited amount on the market Weather conditions eon- tinued favorable, although temperatures in the Atlantic are unseasonabiy low.

 The pulling was attributed largely to the account of professional operators whose constant effort it is to feel the ten dency of the market and then follow the prevailing trend. This class of opera tons failed to discover any important pressure to sell, and turned to the long side accordingly. The needs of some un- covered shorts facilitated the turn on the long side. The free pressure of liquidation and even of the money market were accepted as an indication that the most urgent and immediate necessities on account of the San Francisco loss has been mostly provided for. Opinion is not yet clear of the ultimate needs to be met, and especially provision for paying insurance losses which time is allowed for adjustment and payment. There was 8
