MARKET FOR COTTON
CONTINUED QUIET DURING EARLY
 SESSION.
1eDnr tne Clcse There Was Quite an Active y50mand and . COnsiderabl- Ad-
 vance with Last Prices s Firm,

New York, April 3.--The cotton market eentinued quiet during today's early session aAd showed little feature until near the close when there was quite an active de- mand an da considerable advance with last prices firm at a net gain of eleven to fifteen points Sales for the day were sottmsted at s5.ooo bales.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to advance of two points which WIS about due on the indifferent cables. The weather map showed frost in parts of the eastern belt, but 1t seemed the i'm pvsasion that no damage was being done and warmer weather was predicted for . morrow. Some of the local bears offered rather freely during the early session in an effort presumably to break the mar ket but the cotton was well taken and the market began to steady up toward midday promoted by lighter receipts and reports that government experiments with seed showed that the seed of 1908 was less fer tile than that of the previous season.
 Trading continued at prices a few points over the closing figures of yesterday. un- quite active and prices showed net gain of about 1t@1s points.A The close was at practically the best point of the session The buying on the advance was rumored to be largely for prominent St Louis house. Southern spot markets were un- changed to Ac lower.
 Receipts at the ports today 1s504 bales year. For the week festimated) 125,000 halcs. against 147.231 last week and 113.- e6s last year.

By Prfvafe wire to U. G. ADeTcfOmDfe &
 Co.,. 32 Commerce St.
 New Orleans. April 3.-An effort was made to bid the market up today on con- fllcting reports as to damage done by the of the belt where it was above ground some reports stating that replantins will be necessary, while other reports state that no material damage has been inflicted and that replanting will not be necessary. Were 1t fact that replanting would be made inn perativo in some sections of the belt, there would still be ample time to renew the land as the first half of March is considered early to plant cotton in the districts re- ported affected by low temperatures and heavy frosts
 We have confirmatory advices by wire to the effect that cotton is up to a good stand in the extreme northwestern sections os the cotton region, in North Louisiana, North Texas, and in the Indian Territory, which is unusually early, and if 1t Is found that re planting will not be necessary, pros- poets for early movement of new crop cotton will be bright indeed, and as there is the possibility of the worlds visible sup ply of American being much as 1.500. 900 bales on September lst against 9O2. 900 at the close of last season. and because of there being telling waat the worlds wis ihe stock of kinds other than American will be at the sclose of August when com pared with year ago on account of the large East Indian crop. officially reported to be 4,90S, 900 3,426.000 last year. 1t appears as though it will require a revival in the demand for spots to sustain market though receipts fall off sharply when compared WlIn year peIoTe idet aS will probably figure close to those of one year ago during the balance of the season. We maintain that prospects for the new crop win be the main factor in regulating values this summer since the supply for this year has been more than ample by being sufficiently large enough to leave a large surplus hand at the beginning of the new year
 Therefore. we would recommend confin- ing operations to new crop options. using the weather and news from the fields on which base transactions.
 The official forecast for tomorrow is ben- efcial showers for the Southwest fair and warmer weather for the Mississippi valley and the south Atlantic States. The move- ment to market has been of more moder. ate proportions of late. arrivals at all ports since last Friday about 75,0O0. last year

 "The opening of the second quarter of the year finds the iron market in thor oughly sound condition. The one fear which has been entertained to some extent was that the railroads might curtail buy ing Cancellation of contracts by railroad interests have been few and indications are that buying will be resumed on an extens- i've scale.
