ADVANCES FROM ! ID POINTS Light FroStS Reported in the
 Eastern Belt EXPORTS ARE VERY HEAVY The Opening Is Steady, Several Points Up on Higher Cables Than Was
 Expected-The Close Prac-
 ticaIIy at the Top.
EXPORTS ARE VERY HEAVY

New York, April 1.-The cotton mar fer tone and closed steady at a net ad- vance of to g points. Sales were esti- mated at only 1000 bales.
 The opening was steady at an advance of ? to points on higher cables than ex- pected and big spot sales in the English market. At first there was some hes;- tation and room professionals seemed to be selling on the ground that local con ditions should prevent the figures from following the English advance, but the market worked gradually higher during the early session on covering of shorts, and prices at one time were about s to 10 points net higher.
 Later most of this advance was lost in spite of light estimates for tomorrows receipts at leading points, owing to more seasonable weather in western and cen tral belts and selling by recent buyers, but the pressure was not aggressive, and the market firmed up toward the close in anticipation of another bulge in Liver pool tomorrow. The close was within ? points of the best on the active months
 Light frosts were reported in the east ern belt and some few reports reached the market that replanting would be nec- essary, but exerted influence, owing to the earlness of the season. Exports for the day were very heavy, exceeding the port receipts by about S0,00O bales, and the bulls were predicting bullish visi- ble supply statement at the end of the week. Southern spot markets were gen. orally unchanged Receipts at the ports today, 14,0S2 bales, against 16,1S5 last week and 11,162 last year.
 For the week, 9O,000 bales against 110,- 127 last week and 116,676 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans. S0sl bales, against 32O7 bales last year, and at Hous- ton, 3S99, against 2426 last year.
