New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK, April 20-Since the market be-
gan 10 break from loc month ago there has
not been enough support In the way of specula-
i've or investment purchases to have frustrated
the designs of these interests In working for lower
prices. Trade conditions have been no worse
during the last decline of lie per pound than
they were when the option list was selling
above 1oc. 1t looks though some of the
largest spot dealers and spinners are most act
i've in depressing prices with the view of es-
tablishing as low level possible for the buy
ing basis which they expect to secure when they
begin to accumulate supplies for the stock they
will need to meet requirements until the next
ber
Heavy rains are reported in Texas, with rivers
oVerhowing and higher than for 30 years, and 1t
is claimed that big damage has been done. The
trade Is bearish and selling cotton on talk
that the crop will be the largest on record.
Most of the heavy selling comes from Liverpool,
and some from big New York operators who
tried TO work corner In December and who
have been aggressive bears the past fortnight
and are putting out fresh lines of shorts and
hammering the market this
Spot closed quiet. Middling uplands, 8. 90c;

Nail reports from New York say:

The Cofee Trade

The New York circular of Henry Nordiinger
4 Co. says:
The receipts at Rio and Santos during the
month OF March were disappointingly large but
since the beginning OF this month considerable
falling on has been experienced, indicating
that our estimate Of 10000. 900 bags for the
current crop VIII be over rather than under
the mark.
Distributors In the interior were 4of late
somewhat relrctant In making purchases. Never
theless, there Is a healthy trade doing in the
aggregate, as Is evidenced by the large deliver
les from port stocks; purchases while smaller
IN quantity are more frequent and reflect the
necessary requirements for consumption
., he available visible supply OF Brazil cofrees
(treating the government coffee as not ayailabiel
was on December !. 1907, about 1850, 600 bags
On the hrst Of this month these trade holdings
were reduced to about Q. 800. 900 bags, and they
promise to be still further reduced at least l.
oOO, 600 bags during the next three months
with regard TO the future position Of tho
article nothing tangible can be said at this time
crop reports vary usual the consensus OF
opinion appears to be that the next Santos crop

bags, while the Rio crop will be a little smaller
than the present one- The splendid appearance

Butter. Cheese and Eggs

Conditions in the egg market underwent some
what OF change yesterday, owing to the rivalry
between the local storage spectators and the
poulterers association of Sonoma county Re-
tailers looking for fair to good eggs that
could be sold at 25c dozen with reasonable
margin OF profit, and the tactics OF spectators
in keeping the price of extras up checked the
demand for that grade and caused a run on first
and seconds, which were 1c and &c dozen
higher respectively. These grades possess keep
Ing qualities at this time of the year. and being
suitable for the average trade. selling better
than the more expensive extra grade. The lat
ter declined &c on the exchange
Butter was in free supply and the market was
rather easy. with many receivers anxious to get
the price OF extras down so that storing could
commence. Another attempt was made to reduce
the price yesterday, but there were buyers for
everything offered under the call on change. and
the previous quotation was allowed to stand.
There YVES no change In cheese
The following sales were made on the ex-
change:
Butter-5o cases of extras at 22c and 20 at
2212c pound.
Eggs-10 cases of extras at 21c and 20 at 21 16c

Receipts were 4s, 500 lbs butter. 6.7oo lbs
