COTTON MARKET
 ON WILD RAMP PAGE Big Demand In England Causes
 Sharp Advance
LARGE INTERESTS BUYING
Report On Cotton Exchanges Is Sup posed To Have Had Some Influ- ence, But Strong Position
 of Cotton Aids upturn.

New York, May 1.-The cotton market had a sensational advance and ruled very active during today's trading. The close was steady at a net gain of 20 to 5l points. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
 The market opened firm, at an advance of IA to "A points in response to the strength of the cables, the big English spot sales and renewed support from large spot interests. There was heavy realizing at the advance, but the market continued to work upward until prices showed net gain of about S6 to AS points, the near months leading. May sold at S.90 or ST points above the low level of last week, while July sold at s.99 or 79 points above the low record. This advance was followed By a reaction of several points during the later trading, with July closing at SS0 and October at S63, the latter comparing with S.79, the high point of the day.
 Big trade interests appeared to be buy ing on all soft spots and it was evident that all nearby shorts were practically demoralized by the talk of further de- crease in local stocks, the aggressive character of the support, and the pros- pect for showers and frost in the west ern belt. The report of the bureau of corporations may have had some senti- mental influence as suggesting possi- ble strengthening of the local contract, but this was not believed to be so much of a feature as the technical condition of the market following a long period of oppression, the less favorable weather outlook. and the character of the buying. much of which, as noted above, appeared to come from trade and exporting in- terests.
 Receipts at the ports today, 5S75 bales, against 9763 last week and 10, ,264 last year. For the week, 55,0o0 bales against 57 ,595 last week and 5S,S32 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 700 bales, against 1274 last year and at Houston 1940 against 1876 last year.

York revenue bonds and the rate of in- vestment return at 3s4 per cent showed a sufficient reduction from that on which the last issue of city revenue bonds was placed, which was 6 per cent, to en- courage confidence in the prospects for placing railroad issues.
 The additional gold taken from London for Paris did not effect the easing of the discount rate in London and foreign ex change here was lower. Efforts to sus- tain prices centered on Southern Pacific and Amalgamated Copper, while Union Pacific and St. Paul were freely sold to take profits. The whole market weakened late in the day.

WEAKNESS SHOWN
 IN STOCK MARKET London Markets Have Adverse
 Effect Upon Stocks SLOW TRADE IS BIG FACTOR Money Is Easy, But the Fact That In- dustry Is Slow In Revivine Leads
 Traders To Hold Aloof.
 Exchange Lower.
SLOW TRADE IS BIG FACTOR

New York, May IA period of weak ness during the morning in the stock market while the London market was in operation, was attributed to sympathy with that market and the fact that a recovery set in here after business had ceased for the day in LN 1don was pointed to as confirmation of this view. The re- covery, however, did not hold. The dis turbance in London was due to the bad influence of news of tribal disturbances amongst the Afghans on the Indian from tier. Arbitrage brokers sold stocks here quite freely for London account, thus of fering direct pressure On the New York market There was besides a continuous disposition on the part of last weeks buyers of stocks to realize the profits accrued on their purchases, disposition which was already manifest on Saturday in the sharp reaction at the end of the day.
 There was apparent the same balancing of considerations by financial observers as for some time past between the easy condition of the money market and the resulting improvement in the investment demand for securities and the evidences of renewed depression il commerce and industry. The latter influence was pre-. dominant today. Various items in the sum of the days intelligence called at tention to that side of the situation. The usual weekly remarks by railroad traffic officials while pointing out the hopeful promise for business contained in the good crop prospects gave free expression to the sense of disappointment over the slowness of business resumption and did not hold out much promise for an in- creased tonnage movement right away. Evidence was of bank clearings and of business casualties for April indicated the continued low ebb of business activity.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, May 4.-(Special.)- )-Man- chester surprised Liverpool today by buying 1900 bales, when they have been reporting very bad trade conditions. This started Liverpool to covering with few sellers, as the trade has sold the market freely during the past month expecting a further sharp decline. Here the advance reached some 45 points be- fore a reaction occurred. The trade remains still bearish on the market and looks for reaction in Liverpool tomorrow and a lower market here. This attitude is not likely to be changed until dealers are convinced that there is an improvement in trade.
 Liverpool will need cotton badly be- fore the end of the season and this accounts for the advance there today.
