COTTON REACTS
 FROM THE BOTTOM New Low Prices Are Touched
 Then Advance Begins BETTER TONE DEVE0PED
Foreign Influences Are More BuIlish Than Otherwise and the Course of Prices Trends Upward Near
 the Close.

New York, April S.-After making new low records at the opening today the cotton market rallied and closed steady at net advance of to points. Sales were estimated at 225,ooO bales.
 The market opened steady at decline of to points under renewal of yes terday's selling movement, lower cables and a favorable early weather map. Of- ferings were quite heavy at the start but seemed to exhaust the supply of long cotton contracts In weak hands, as they became lighter after the fifst few minutes, with the market developing a better tone on covering and buying for a turn which was encouraged by reports that English mills had negatived pro posal to close down during Easter week, claims of steadiness in interior markets, and predictions for lower temperatures in central and eastern sections of the belt, although many local traders did not consider that the predicted cold weather would have an adverse influence on the market
 The close was at practically the high est point of the day. There were ru- mOrS tndl lOrelSH cohlpii"eioh SAO"N stocks in the hands of European spinners to be only slightly in excess of last year, with the excess consisting largely of low grade Indian cotton, but no definite fig ures were available. Advices from the southwest indicated increased acreage In West Texas, but private wires reported that spot cotton is as high as when fu- lures were selling 30 points higher, and that offerings were limited southern markets officially reported were un- changed to 1s of a cent lower.
 Receipts at the ports today, 2O,o5S bales, against 13,S2S last week and 12,7I2 last year. For the week. 100000 bales, against 113,112 last week and 1O2S44 last year. Today's receiptsatNew Orleans S4l3 bales against 5S55 last year and at Houston' 1899 against 6162 last year.

STOCK MARKET IS
 VERY UNDECIDED Trade Is Waiting For Settle ment of Erie Affairs MARKET IS FAIRLY STEADY Shorts Cover Their Contracts On Re- ports That English Mills Will Not
 Close Down For Period
 At Easter.
MARKET IS FAIRLY STEADY

New York, April 8.--Iransactions at the stock exchange today were few thou sand share more than yesterday, but the price movement was even more sluggish and undecided. The government report on the April 1 condition of winter wheat and rye was made the vehicle for an attempt ed revival of activity. The publication Of the government figures quickly revealed, however, that no new interest was stirred in the market by this influence. Traders who had bought in anticipation of good crop sold to take profits and prices or stocks ran off, although the percentage Of condition of wheat was fully high as ex7 pected. The indifference of the stock mar ket to this factor proved disappointment to the trading element and they fell back upon the Erie financial problem as the oppressive influence on the market There was no prospect of any definite infor1na- ton during the stock exchange session to show whether the plan was to become operative or not, but many varying ru- mors were used in the attempt to move prices.
 The confusion of mind over the Erie conditions was announced by the intina- ton that the period would be extended for the assent of ma turing notes to the plan. This removed the likelihood that the project would be declared abandoned immediately on the expiration at 3 o'clock today of the period set by the bankers for receiving all of the outstanding notes in assent On the other hand the question arose of the position the company would be in with the passing of the maturity of the notes without redemption. The notes sold off on the curb again to below 90 Reports of rains in Kansas offered newer conditions for the wheat crop than were reported by the agricultural depart ment and had more effect in sustaining prices.
 Foreign influences were in favor of high CT prices, though In very moderate degree. Some distinct improvement in the invest ment tone was discernible both in London and on the continent The announcement of the merger plan for Mexican railroads and the determination of the Interborough Metropolitan to attempt bond issue rather than to resort to short term notes gave an impression of some growth of confi- dence in our own investment situation.

Dealings in the bond division of the stock market show some increasing variety in the number of issues dealt in. but the ag- gregate transactions hold at a low ebb and the price movement continues irreg- ular
 Rumors that the Erie plan would be- come operative grew more positive late in the day and rallied the prices. The numerous shifts in the price movement so far offset each other that the days net changes are not important.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,506, ,000.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'S Letter.

New York. April S.-( Special )-When after the opening it was found that the pressure of the past few days was not present the market slowly advanced, 1eacting from time to time. but clos iag at about the best of the day. A little better feeling pervades the local market, as the trade feels that the de- cline of the past few days was due to what looks like the liquidation of the last of the large interests connected with the May pool. Great astonish ment was expressed at the extent oe the holdings of this pool and that they a ould have been compelled to close their interests through the liquidation of one of the parties interested.
