NERVOUSNESS IN
 COTTON MARKET
Trading Less Active and Net
 Change Small
SALES WERE 25O,O0O BALES
The Close Was Steady at a Decline of Four Points to an Advance of Two Points-NeW
 Crop Easy.

New York, 2i.-The cotton market show ed continued nervousness during today's session but trading was less active and the net change small. Sales for the day were estimated at 25O,OO0 and the market closed steady at a decline of points to an advance of points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of points to a decline of l point, all the near months being higher in response to higher cables, while the new crop was re- latively easy owing to the continued fa- vorable weather in the south. There were overnight selling orders on the market at the opening, local bears were disposed to be aggressive and there was continued liquidation which was prompted by easi- ness in the stock market. Prices soon showed net decline of about to points under this pressure with May selling at 10 97 and July at 10.Sl, or new low level for the movement and between 70 and 50 points down from the high level of last week. There was covering enough at the decline to rally the market in connection with Liverpool, buying presumably on the differences and the market rallied. reach ing II so for May and 1o.95 for July in the early afternoon, after the publication of the weekly report of the weather bu- reau which read a little less bearishly than expected, light estimates for tomor- rows receipts at leading points and re- ports of steady southern spot conditions. The advance brought out a renewal of selling for long account. however, and the market eased off again before the close with last prices only to points up from the lowest on the near positions
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today, IS, 4S4 bales, against 2l54O last week, and 95, S27 last year. For the week (estimatedl s5, o00 bales, against 97,569 last week and 16l 977 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 5244 bales, against 92O3 last year. and at Houston, 69S4 bales, against 5l12 last year.

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

Cotton displayed some strength today. After selling as low as Hose for July on the opening, an advance took place. due to reports of frosts fin the Carollnas and evidences of a better spot demand. Shorts finally became nervous over the advanc- ing tendency shown by the market, and covered somewhat freely, July contracts selling as high as 11.17c. At this level profit-taking by the professionals who had contracts helped to bring about the re- action and liquidation of May and July contracts checked the upward movement, points from the top. There was a slight recovery just before the close. which was steady at a net gain for the day Of l to 2 points.
 Spots were officially reported steady and unchanged Sales, 1200 bales of spots and 400 bales to arrive. Kidding was quoted at 11hc.
 The general situation in cotton remains unchanged. Receipts continue on a com naratively small scale, but weather con dltons taken as a whole, are ideal, in suring good progress in the cultivation of the new crop. There is a very little outside speeulating, and the professional shows little inclination to go it alone. Thursday. April 26, will be notice day for May in our market but little apprehen- sion is felt on this score, as there is no probability of any great amount, of cotton being rendered on contract. We see no signs yet of any permanent improvement In the market, and favor selling on any strong period, such as the market ex- hibited today.

Ware 6 Leland's, Market Letter.

Somewhat more favoring financial con ditons and a less hysteriea1 sentiment over the calamity on the Pacific coast, led to steadier cotton market.
 Early in the day an effort was made to bring out cotton on stop-loss orders and operators sold July down to 10sl before il was evident that an effort to cover was likely to advance the market.
 On the rise shorts covered, and July was up IA or 10 points before traders sue ceeded in covering cotton sold on the early decline.
 New crops were particularly steady, and in every way the days market was rep etition of that for some time past
 There seemed to be nothing in the way of news to change the prevailing belief that cotton will be taken on May con tracts on Friday, and under these cir cumstances an open break in the market can hardly be expected.
 As long as the weather in the south continues favorable the new crops will be for sale on any advance above lie. It does not seem as though the time was ripe for general bull movement. and the wiser traders on the floor taking a scalping attitude on the new crop months, buying on all weak spots and taking profits on any good rise.
 This will be a paying operation for months to come.

among them, the methods they might adopt to finance their. losses and the effects on the general supply of credits, and on the securities market There was believed to be liquidation in progress to- day, as well as yesterday. for direct ac- count of some of the insurance com panies. The effect was particularly marked in the bond department, and in high grade investment stocks of the kind usual ly held in the treasuries of corpora tions with large reserve investments. Bankers were of the opinion that the insurance companies would have no difficulties in borrowing funds on the security of these investment holdings if they decided to do so. But it is pointed out that at current market prices the investment yield on se- curities is below the interest rate for time loans in the money market. This might have the effect of giving the pref erenee to sales of securities rather than to borrowing money to secure funds in hand for the payment of insurance losses. It was also pointed out that with the necessary period yet to elapse before adjustment of losses can be made, and the additional period allowed for their payment, the necessity for realizing on assets of the insurance companies, is not immediate
 That considerable sellingeo of this char acter remains to be effected, however, is generally believed with natural re- pressiye effect on speculative buying of stocks. The stream of remittances from New York to San Francisco was freely maintained today. A drop to 50 cents dis count in New York exchange at Chicago drew attention to the fact that large shipments are being made from there to the Pacific coast against New York credits in order to save time This con sttutes an obligation of New York to Chicago which is to be reckoned with beyond the actual movement of currency from New York itself. The intention of the Secretary of the Treasury to de- posit s15,O00,O0 of government funds with San Francisco banks will operate of course to relieve the situation. Reports of the light inquiry for Russian loan subscriptions in London were received with disappointment. prompt relaxation of foreign money markets from require ments from the Russian loan is dependent on the facility with which holdings are passed from bankers hands into general investment. There is the possibility also that the Bank of England has postponed action on advance in it's discount rate un- til the needs for the Russian loan sub scripton has been filled. Selling of se- eurities in London for Paris account was attributed to the conditions of unrest and fears of disturbances incident to a pro posed general strike in France on May i. The expectation of large earnings for the first quarter of the year to be reported by the United States Steel corporation helped it's stock. Not much of the days gains were retained after selling move- ment during the final hour, and the mar ket closed heavy and dull.
 Bonds were irregular.

Abercrombie 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

Shorts covering on unusual low tempera- ture in the Carolinas and Georgia and on reports of q steadier local spot market resulted in a little reaction after the market opened some lower than yester days closing, July advancing to 1t.17c and finally closing at Hose against 11.0Ic last evening.
 The mercury worked low as to permit frost formations in North Carolina, beavy frost being officially reported from Will mington, where the temperature regis tered 40 degrees. the average temperatsire for the district averaging 36 degrees.
 This is only a passing influence, how ever, and we do not think any harm will come of the cold weather, as fair weather and rising temperature are predicted for the central and eastern portions of the belt tomorrow.
 Nevertheless. it created a. steadier mar ket today. and as the movement to mar ket was light at five interior towns since last Friday. 9o.O0O. last year e,Oo0 at all ports for the same period s1,000, against s7,000 one year ago. there developed a better demand for spots, which were eagerly purchased at full quotations.
