COTTON REALIZES
 HOPES OF FRIENDS
Nine Cent Mark Is Passed In
 Future Market
BULL MOVEMENT IS SOLID
Liverpool Prices Go Up Sharply, Re- fectine the Anxiety of Manufac- turers To Buy the Staple at
 Any Price Possible.

New York, May 6.-The cotton market had a very sharp advance during to- days early session, with July going above cents, and the general list selling into new high ground for the current bull movement. While there was some re- action later the close was steady at a net advance of to F points. Sales were estimated at 375,OO0 bales. The market opened firm at an advance of IS to 21 points in response to higher cables, big English spot sales, reports of heavy rain in some parts of the eastern and central belts, covering and a renewal of sup port from large trade interests.
 There was considerable cotton for sale at the initial advance and during the first few minutes there was some irregularity. The market showed a very nervous un- dertone, however and soon renewed the upward movement owing to continued support from bullsh sources and some commission house buying
 At the best July sold at 9.06 and De- tober at ss5 or p to 26 points net higher Around these figures there was heavy realizing and rather more aggressive of ferings from bearish sources which were encouraged by the favorable weather forecasts and rumors that one of the big July short interests had made pri- Vate settlement.
 In the late trading prices were only { to points net higher and the closing figures reflected a rally from the lowest on covering by early sellers and some fur ther bull support.
 Receipts at the ports today, 1908 bales against STA last week and 11,3S0 last year For the week. 55,O0O bales against 53595 last week and 5S,S31 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 2570 bales against 4S49 last year ana at Houston, 23O6 against 2035 last year.

STOCKS ADVANCE
 WITHOUT EFFORT Buying Is Largely Professional
 and Protective DIG DEMAND DISSATISFIED Many Railroad and Industrial Stocks Touch Highest Prices of the Year and No Amount of Selling
 Can Lower Figures.
DIG DEMAND DISSATISFIED

New York, May 6-Prices of stocks were advanced again today with every evidence of effective control of the mar ket on the part of the advocates of high CT prices. The buying was called largely professional and protective, although the persistence of the advance has had the effect of inviting some outside partici- patton. Apparently some demand re- mains to be satisfied from the uncovered short interest also, in spite of heavy pur- chases for that account, which have fol- lowed the considerable rise in prices and the bear failures at the stock exchange, which served to sharpen the demand from the shorts. It is evident that bear opera tions have followed the advance in the expectation that they would culminate and these afford fresh sustaining force for the market, as the rise compels their covering
 Various railroad and industrial stocks today touched the highest prices of the year. The transcontinental group offered conspicuous examples. The market re- volved about the Hartman issues to a large extent. The report during the day
 
 rectors was called for tomorrow pointed to the immediate prospect of the bond issue authorized by the stockholders on May ,. It is a very common assumption / that extensive measures are being used to foster the strength in the stock mar ket in preparation for this bond issue.
 Advancing prices for stock whet the appetite for new issues, whether of stocks or bonds Additional sales of the New York city revenue bonds on a 3la per cent interest basis, compared with 334 per cent for the first portion of the issue. indicated the favoring conditions for new capital issue Publication of estimates of the quick profits realized by tue syndi- cate which underwrote the Interborough notes was calculated to give zest to d demand for new bond issue. At the same time the price of the Interborough reeeded the stock exchange.
 The same was true of Pennsylvania con sols As which are dealt in in the same manner The process of realizing profits in these new issues was accompanied by some irregularity of price movements in the regular bond department. There was nothing in the money market to account for this irregularity in the bond list or to seem to threaten the success of the Union Pacific bond issue for lack of abundance of money supplies.
 Discount rates were inclined to yield both in London and Paris and a rise in the sterling exchange rate at Paris was

measure of the relaxation of the de- mand from that center on London for gold. The strength of the stock mar ket was by no means uniform nor did it spread through the list until after a pe- riod of irregularity and hesitation. The trunk lines and coalers were heavy spots in the early dealings. The postponement of the intended increase in freight rates was an nfiunce in this instance. The Lehigh Valleys poor net earnings for March was accepted as meaning that the anthracite carriers are making less ef- fective economies than some of the other railroad groups.
 Copper rose in London and the Amer ican Smelling company advanced the price of lead here. Some buying of stocks was based on the expectation that the gov- ernment report on crop conditions to be given out on Friday will prove very fla vorable. Determined support was extend ed to the market up to the end of the day.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York May Special. )-Man- chester spinners continue to buy free ly in Liverpool, taking some 15,000 bales today in that market It is this demand which started the advance of the week and if it continues it will maintain the present basis of prices. The trade here does not believe that the demand will continue and in anti cipation of it's falling off they have been realizing all day on their pur- chases of yesterday. This lack of con fidence is based upon the weak mar kets of the last month which naturally makes every one doubt the possibility of a permanent improvement. During the afternoon story became current that large short interest in July had covered and under this rumor the mar ket closed easier with all expecting a decline in I,iVerpool

New Orleans, May 6.-Cotton spots were steady at an advance of 1sc on all grades. Mddling, 10 5-16c. Sales were 1750 bales on the spot and $50 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady 13 to 21 points above the close yesterday, as result of the heavy rains yesterday throughout the south and good spot sales at Liverpool. The response of the local future market to bulish factors elsewhere was not as marked as expected, and as reports of little damage to the new crop were re- ceived from time to time 1t gradually sought lower levels. During the late ses- sion there was general decline as a re- suit of these reports, and at the close, which was steady, the active months were only 2 to 3 points above the close yester- day.
