NEW YORh STOCK MARKET

New York, April 1O.-The narrow
professional limitations Of the present
stock market continued very much in
evidence today.
The inconstant course Of the price
movement was accepted as rejecting
nothing more than the shifting senti-
ments of the professional traders
seeking to scalp profit. The market
seemed to be equally free from either
buying or selling transactions Of a
substantial character With no sell
ing pressure on the market the room
traders found it easy to advance
prices as a result of their own limit
ed buying and bidding up, but the fu
tility of the process was demonstrated
when they attempted resale to take
profits. The buying demand being as
torpid as the selling pressure, the
profit taking simply resulted in prices
retracing the precious coures. There
was not much news to account for the
days movements. The spirit Of cau-
ton reflected in the diminishing ac-
tiVity of the market is generally at
tributed to dIstrust of the perma-
nence or genuineness of the present
easy conditions in the money market.
The financial district is full OF reports
of renewed negotiation for term bor-
rowing by railroads and corporations
and this gives the impression that a
waiting demand exists for available
credits, which may prevent any re-
Taxation in the money market.
The determination Of the interstate
commerce commission to push the ex-
animation of E. H. Hartman concern
ing certain stock transactions, by le-
gal process, is regarded as Of sinister
import to the security market, owing
to the recollection of the response of
the market to the last inquiry in that
field A sharp recession in the price
of copper at the metal exchange was
a feature of the day. The days net
changes were smalE. although prices
were at one time considerably above
and then considerably below last
nights closing level.
Bonds were Irregular Total sales
par value $1,712,0O0 United States Is
advanced 1-2 and the old As IA per
cent. on call Total sales stocks to-
day We're SIS, 500 shares.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York, April 10.-The cotton
market was quiet during today's ses-
sionb with fluctuations narrow and
irregular The close was quiet but
steady at net decline of points.
the new crop being relatively steady.
Sales We're estimated at 100000 bales
The opening was steady at decline
of one point to an advance Of one
point, which was about as due on the
cables. The weather map was a lit
lures were still unseasonably low, but
frost was reported at only a couple
Of points, averaging little warmer
than the previous day and there were
rumors that western jobbers were cut
ting the price of goods. Advices from
Fall River and eastern centres gen.
orally indicated continued firmness
in cotton products, however, and after
some little early irregularity, the
market gradually worked up to net
gain of about to points This was
followed by a set back which seemed
the result of selling by houses with
southern connections, but the list was
steadied slightly under the closing
figures Of the previous day by re-
newal Of covering and later f1uctua-
tions were irregular with the new
crop showing steadiness on buying
for a turn and undoing of straddles.
Port receipts were we'll under those of
last year, but exports were light.
southern spot markets were generally
unchanged.
