SHARP ADVANCE
 IN COTTON MARKET LiverpooIs Strong Tone Leads
 to Furry Al Opening
WEATHER NEWS IS gULLISH
Better Spot Demand In English Mar kets and Reports That Cotton Acreage Is Not Increased
 Aids the Advance.

New York, April 3O.-The cotton mar ket had a very strong advance again today on continued support from big trade interests and closed, firm at net advance of S1@35 points. Sales were es- timated at 375,oOO bales
 The market opened firm at an advance of 12@16 points in response to higher cables. There was heavy selling at first, evidently realizing by some of yester- days buyers, but there was no renewal of the pressure from southern sources, big spot people were supporting the market and prices soon firmed up with shorts showing uneasiness and covering as result of the character of the buying and talk of frost in the western belt. After selling 22 to 2S points net higher the market eased off or 9 points follow ing the forecast for fair and warmer weather in the western belt tomorrow, but quickly frmed up again and reached the highest level during the afternoon when prices showed net advance of 31@S6 points with July leading on continued bull support, covering. and rumors that big spot interests were planning a squeeze
 
 within a point of the top.
 There were reports of better spot de- mand from Liverpool also from south ern sources and it also seemed that ad- vices regarding conditions in manufac- turing circles were more optimistic. A leading trade paper published state- ment that the present indications were fora cotton area about the same as last year and that considerable replanting was necessary in the western belt. Two prl- vate acreage reports will be issued to- morrow by local authorities of consider able reputation.
 Receipts at the ports today, 10,3O2 bales against 9901 last week and S244 last year. For the week, 60,0O0 against 5S,757 last week and 730S1 last year. Today's re- cepts at New Orleans 533S, against 251i last year and at Houston, 1913 bales, against 96S bales last year.

REACTION COMES
 IN STOCK MARKET Too Many Buyers Have Turned
 to the Bear Side SALES FALL OFF HEAVILY
Reports From Railroads Show That Idle Cars Are Greater In Number Than at Any Previous Time,
 Which Adds To Depression.

New York, April 3O.-The shrinkage of half in the volume of today's stock mar ket transactions from that of yesterday was significant of the abatement in the demand for stocks. The reactionary tone, at the same time, was more pronounced yesterday, most of the days sales being effected at prices below the closing Of the day before and last prices showing material declines. It is well understood that the disclosures in connection with the two latest stock exchange failures have served to force covering by the bears to an unusual extreme, many lead CTS of stocks making peremptory demands for their return by borrowers for de- livery against short sales.
 These disclosures have had a disquiet- ing effect on the speculative temper also owing to the fears that they would discourage operations by the general pub lie through commission houses. The practice by commission house of short sales in the stock which their customers are long of is discountenanced, and the suggestion that some of the recent short covering was of this character has caused an unpleasant impression. The net re- suit has been an unusual exhaustion of the short interest and this was held large ly accountable for the dropping tendency of prices today.
 Of more active factors the most inn portant was the rapid accumulation of idle freight cars reported by the Amer ican Railway, association committed The number of these on April 15, at 975,77O, is pronounced the greatest total in the his tory of American railroading, having risen from 295, ,062 on March 16, when in-

creased freight movement had been bring ing additional cars into the service, and comparing with 343,92S on February B. the highest figure touched in the depres- sion following the panic. Such em- phatic evidence of renewed trade reac- ton did not pass unheeded in specula- tive circles. Amongst the less tangible influences in the days market was an impression sought to be created that powerful banking and financial interests which have supported the market had achieved the desired purpose of insuring the underwritiNg of proposed bond is- sues and saw no further necessity for furthering the rising tendency of prices.
 This view obtained added force from the action of new issues on the outside mar ket, where they are dealt in when, as if issued Quotations for the Pennsyl- vania consolidated per cent bonds and the Interborough Rapid Transit notes both reacted in that market. Readings poor report of March earnings affected one of the conspicuous leaders in the recent market movement. On the other hand statement of March earnings of the EIar- riman roads gave signal evidence of the effective measures of economy in force, with overreached the fall in gross earnings in the case of the Southern Pa cifc and went far to meet it in the case of the Union Pacific. Copper receded in London again. Crop news was favor able.
