COTTON MARKET
 AGAIN DECLINES BeariSh Features Overcome BuIIish Situation TRADE CONDITIONS POOR Fact That Manufacturers Are curtaiI- ing Production Keeps Prices From
 Making Any Headway Just
 At This Time.
TRADE CONDITIONS POOR

New York, April 1.-The cotton to points in response to lower ca tles, and during the early session sold about to points net lower, under liquidation, which was encouraged by good weather disappointing week end figures and talk of further curtail- ments in manufacturing circles. Wall street bought early but selling was more or less general.
 It is true that we haze trade con dition In the manufactured product of cotton which Is deplorably depressing and relying on the advices and opin- ions of the largest handlers of dry goods, an early improvement is not thought of.
 This lack of confidence in the inn mediate future Is not due to the fact that manufacturers have large stocks on hand, for that is not the case. Those who are authority on such mat : ters assure us that the stocks are limited and there is belief that there is a greater house cleaning in some distributing concerns than has been known before, but there is that fear and dread which clouds a mans abil- 'ty to see into the future, so that he is not willing to make any commit ments ahead.
 Ultimate values may be much lower, particularly if there is no general im- provement in the trade situation, bu. this does not alter the fact that the bear selling is on prospective condi- tions. Under the circumstances, the speculative ring interest Is an impor- tant object to work on, and as it Is decidedly short, leading operators may find 1t inviting to take a stand against the crowd. At present prices there IS hardly much risk in doing so, as fur ther decline only means further in- crease in the short interest and con- sequently the basis on which scares can be worked.
 The market closed barely steady with prices to 10 points net lower.
 Receipts at the ports today, 12,265 bales, against 14,S19 last week, and 9219 last year. For the week, 90, OOO bales, against 99,S99 last week, and S3,- s95 last year. Today's receipts a, New Orleans, POTS bales, against 2252 last year, and at Houston, 1511 bales against BAIT last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, April 1.-(Special) )-Liver- pool came lower on the reports from America that the North Carolina mills would close down for two months. This report offset the strong statistical posi- ton, as shown this morning in the visi- ble supply and caused our market to sell off some 10 points from yesterday before the end of the day. Some buying from the same Wall street interests, which ab- sorbed the offerings at the low point a few days ago was noticeable. but the temper continues very pessimistic. It IS considered there can be no change in this tendency until either the spinners begin buying or bad weather offsets the crop now being planted.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, April 11.-(Special.) )-Wheat had an exciting whirl during todays short session. and at one time was 214c higher than it closed the day before It still had cent of the rise at the end. After about 100000 bushels of May wheat had been poured over the traders by Armour's s brokers, it cooled the ardor of buyers the extent mentioned, otherwise It is hard to say how high May wheat would have gone, because ordinary operators were afraid to risk selling till they were coaxed into action by the example of the Armour operation.
 Corn at the close was 1S49sc higher for May and about the same for July and September.
 Oats also were much improved in May delivery and 4@3sc for July and Septem- Der. Provisions were only moderately ac- tive.
 Leading futures ranged as follows.

New York, April 1.-The dry goods market relapsed into dullness for the day in nearly all lines Jobbers closed early and there was little doing in the selling prices.

New Orleaps, April 1l-Cotton spots were quiet and steady with prices un- changed. Middlng, 10Ac. Sales were 45O bales on the spot and S25 to arrive. Futures opened quiet, ? to points be- low the close yesterday, as result of an unfavorabe Liverpool. There was some covering by shorts, but buying and selling orders throughout the day were ia evidence in about equal proportions. Talk ing into account the unfavorable nature of the factors the market held it's own fairly well to the close which was steady, with the active months to points be- low the close yesterday.

Manchester. April 1.-The cloth mar ket continued depressed during the past week and the turnover was below the average, the further decline in cotton making buyers still more reserved.

CONDITION OF
METAL MARKET
MUCH BETTER
Best Situation Seen Today
Since the Slump From 26-
Cent Copper Began, and
Prospects Are Bright.

NEW YORK. Nov. THAT the 20
sition of the various copper companies
is much better today than at any time
since the metal started on its down
ward course from IS cents a pound.
there seems 10 be no question. The
outlook for PRODUCERS as well as con-
sumers is brighter than It has been in
months.
The important question is whether
copper consumers viii secure sutfi-
Client business 20 fully absorb produc-
ton, which is practically as large as
it was a year ago. While production
is running al the rate OF close to 100
per cent of normal. consumption Is
between 20 Ger cent and rs per cent
of normal. Unless there Is an in
crease In consumption, an accumula-
ton of stocks cannot be prevented,
but there seems to be every conf
dence in consuming as well as pro
ducing circles that consumption vii!
catch up TO production before many
months have elapsed.
One contract win represent at the
start an outlay of IS 900 600 and an
other $1,000. 900. According TO one
manufacturer, the amount of copper
used in the identification Of rail-
roads next year will be larger than
in any preceding year in history pro-
viding the railroads experience no diff
ficulty in securing funds. Stocks of
copper in this country amount to
practically nothing. Stocks abroad
aggregate something over 100 600 900
pounds, but this figure is not regarded
as very far above normal accumula-
lions.
One feature of the situation which
is in contrast with the course of the
market when copper was making new
high records is that producers and
selling agencies are disposed to pre-
vent tae metal from soaring to what
consumers might call an exaggerated
level
Prices for copper are being main
tanned around 13A @13B cents f..
eisctrolytic. Producers and selling
agencies do not seem inclined to sell
copper for delivery in the far future
below IA cents a pound Ii is esti-
mated that total sales Of copper this
month will exceed loo, 600, 900 pounds,
witf-a market valuation of more than
81, geo, 900 In view of the heavy
buying over the last two weeks, hull
after election would not be surpris-
ing.
All large copper companies are
making money at the present time
and prospects for increased dividends
are better than they have been ia
