Storm n Severe One.


Several accidents were reported,
Three Brothers was lost, but she ar
rived here safely later The launches
Three Brothers and Happy Days left
here about o'clock and were within
a short distance of Point Comfort,
when they were caught in the storm,
and to prevent the boats from sinking
they turned the boats in the direc-
tion the storm was travelling.
The Happy Days, which was ahead,
passed a tow line to the Three Broth
ers to keep the boats from becoming
separated. The heavy sea parted the
line and it was thought by those on
the Happy Day that the Three Broth
port spread.
When the storm abated so that
they could again head into the sea,
the Happy Day was near Red Bank
light, and Immediately commenced a
search for the other boat. After hunt
ing for an hour they returned to port
and found that the Three Brothers
had arrived ahead of them but had
been kept afloat only by constant
bailing of the water which was ship
ped in quantities.

Market

Most Urgent Liquidation Was Under

Some Of the Insurance

VIOLENT REBOUNDS MADE

New York, April 21-Neeessitious hqui-
dalton was thrown upon the market to-
day at n time when the demand was al
most parayzed. The bear element
amongst the traders showed itself more
over alert and well organized and met
the evidence of forced selling by saw
age onslaught on prices which caught I'M
der the market added to the demoraliza-
tlon. The boldness with which the bear
element operated was indicated by the
violent rebounds between onslaughts
when the bears took hasty profits by
buying to cover shorts. 1t was the com
mon understanding that the most urgent
liquidation was for account of some of
the insurance companies. The indiserimi-
nate way in which stocks were thrown
over, and the violence of the declines at
which sales were effected, gave rise to
disquieting rumors, especially regarding
the position of some of the insurance
companies.
The enormous losses suffered by the
fire insurance companies in San Fran
cisco have given perfectly natural ocea-
sion for keen discussion of their standing

spot cotton were rendered on May con-
tracts at New York today and were
promptly stopped some say. for account
of New England mills. The market,
therefore, ruled comparatively steady and
somewhat higher In the earlier hours,
July selling at 1l.29c and October at 1o.42c.
The further advance was due more less
to the nrmness of southern spot markets,
New Orleans ruling firm, and it WAS said
that business was put through at an ad-
vance of 1-16c, at which level a majority
OF factors were Indifferent about selling.
The undertone OF the market was also
made better by an excellent demand for
T. o. b. cotton, the better grades of which
were in urgent demand on the basis of

was light for the week l22,o00 against

date 9861,00O compared with II $4,000 one
year ago. There was a probability of
the worlds visible supply working bull
isll this evening ON account of the small
ness of receipts and the moderate takngs
of this week in 1905, when spnners' TAX
ings were 231 900 bales Of American cot

A sudden change came over the market
about the noon hour however prices

The sharp reaction was attributed TO
the weakness of the stock market in New

to the effect that large insurance fail

Fluctuations Irregular During
the Whole Session
SALES WERE 100000 BALES
Toward the Close Profit Taking BY
Shorts Caused Partial Recovery,
But the Undertone contin-
ued Very Unsettled.
SALES WERE 100000 BALES

New York April 27-The cotton market
was very nervous and irregular during
the days session The close was two
points higher to six points lower. Sales
were estimated at 100000 bales.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 8 to points in response to
higher cables Trading was quite active
at first and the market acted very nerv-
GUS owing to the circulation of May no
tiees, which were issued to the extent
of about e0OoO bales. Their progress
through the street was attended by scat
terlng liquidation Of May through COM
mission houses but the bull leaders had
brokers buying May around the ring. and
before midday 1t became evident that the
cotton was all being taken care of. This
was followed by a slight improvement in
prices, which was also promoted by re-
ports of a good spot demand from New
Orleans. but after showing net advance
of about five to eight points, the mar
ket weakened sharply. owing to the break
in the stock market and selling by Wall
street longs. The. decline carried prices
about Ii to Is points below the high
point of the morning and to a net loss of
to 10 points on the active months. To-
ward the close profit continued very I'M
settled May closed net unchanged.
Receipts at the ports today 1917 bales,
against 1880 last week, and "a 49S last

bales, against 1860 last week. and 16l,-

Ware q LeIand's' Market Letter.

As was stated I'm our letter of last
week. uncertainty over the extent and
the far-reachng effects of the California
disa ster proved to be factor of consid-
cradle Importance in the cotton market
and IL was not until the latter part Of
the present week that the trade generally
commenced to take an optimistic view OF
the outlook Reports from the far west
have indicated that rebuilding opera
lions are already Under way and, 1t seems
now that the worst to be feared IS
over
without trade disturbances found in the
train OF that frightfu calamity. the net
results cottonwise would seem to be the
drain on the money market IN New York
and the possible effects OF that on the
plans OF those intending to take up the
New York stock OF cotton on May con-
tracts.
Yesterday q sharp advance In May took
Mace and now II seems beyond perad-
venture that the New York stock Will
pass to the control OF the owners from
any contracts.
Under these circumstances there seems
10 be little In the outlook on witch 10
base bullsh operations. for the control
of so much cotton this season of the
year cannot have decided effect as "a
price factor. For this reason, the policy
OF market operations likely 10 result In
the greatest net profits Is to be found
in purchases OF the new crop months
on all declines with profit taking on adj
yances as the market is likely to move
within a thirty or forty point range for
some time to come.
