COTTON MARKET
 REACTS UPWARD Shorts Turn to Bull Side and
 Cause An Advance
GENERAL DEMAND IS GOOD
Statistical Position of Cotton Weather Conditions Are More Favorable For an Upturn and the Bull
 Side Is Confident.

New York, May 2.-The cotton market points. This was better than due on the cables, which were very easy, notwith- standing bullish weekend figures, and with the weather map favorable, there was considerable local selling immediate ly after the call. There was good de- mand. however, particularly for July and the market soon rallied on covering with prices about unchanged to 4 points net higher during the middle of the morn ing, when the undertone was steady and the market quiet.
 Were bull operators now in the saddle and prepared to push the advantage cot ton has gained, a fresh declining tend ency in the near future could develop only in the event ideal crop weather of the continuous variety should come, or the attitude of spot buyers should again become indifferent with the filling of April commitments. In the meantime, the bear party is so completely welded to the eX treme low price idea that while many shorts" were boosting the market on themselves there was at times evidence indicating that fresh snort" lines were being put out on the theory that while floods, cyclones, excessive rains and frosts had done some crop damage and had delayed farming operations, good weather and little replanting would soon restore the extremely favorable crop pros poets of two weeks ago, and that since the speculative friends of the staple is not now to be feared there is no reason why little setback encountered by the bear cause should be taken too serious ly. Complications arising from the un- balanced condition of the market lent color to this view of the case, but many a nonspeculating spot merchant frankly expressed the belief that bottom had been reached, that the limit of spot buyers endurance had been encountered and that the inevitable reckoning day for the seller of unduly depressed contracts could not be far distant.
 The weather map proved a distinct warning to the overconfident short" who could not avoid viewing with alarm the sustained rain record, the frost marks as far south as San Antonio and the weather mans forecast of frost for the Carolinas. If the depressiI- influence of one-sided speculation could be eliminated, the immediate future of the market would surely favor the staples best in terest. As matters stand, conflicting fac tors leave more in doubt than is good either for the talent or the trade.
 The market closed steady, 5 to points net higher.

STRONG ADVANCE
 IN STOCK MARKET New High Records Made In the
 Leading Stocks SHORTS COVER PURCHASES 
Many Who Sold Stocks During the Week Hastened To Buy, and, In Spite of Profit Taking, the
 Market Closes Higher.
BY THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, May 2.-(Special. .)-New high records for the year were made in Wall street today by the leading stocks in a strong and fairly active market. Union Pacific, St. Paul and the Steel shares were kept at the front while smelters also forged upward. The covering is due en- tirely to the desperate situation of brok- CTS who have sold their customers stocks. It was believed on Friday that all the trouble of this kind was over, but to- day four more firms suddenly began frantic buying and the end apparently is not yet.
 Just before the close a profit taking movement set in that wiped out a large rart of the advance. The close, how ever, was very strong and with net profits showing in nearly all issues.
 London was fairly steady.
 Wheat was about 1c a bushel higher and cotton was not materially changed at the close, although at one time it was materially lower. It is said that one fourth of last years crop is still un- marketed.
 One factor making for higher prices in addition to the covering movement in E EJOcKS was lSS5uluS Dy 6outucdSlCih 3e'h roads of tariffs effective May inoreas- ing freight rates on meats. Rates have already been increased on soap and it Is understood that this is the beginning Of a general movement.
 The total number of shares of stocks sold on the stock exchange today amounted to 417,3 against S6O,2S4 the same day year ago.
 The total par value of bonds sold to- day was s2,117,O0O, against $SS,00O the same day last year.
 It wasSr Srumored in Wall street today that there has been change in the con trol of Chesapeake and Ohio and that the road is one of the big systems. As a result of this talk the stock was very active with transactions in it amounting to nearly 15.000 shares. At the close of the session it showed an advance of PA points.
 Louisville and Nashville stock also be- came active and advanced 2 points.
 On reports that the next dividend would be paid in cash, stock of the Missouri Pacific Railroad company advanced points on heavy trading.
 All Wall street is waiting anxiously the publication of the governments re-

Hubbard Bros. e Co.'S Letter.

New York, May 2.-(Special.) )-Todays advance in face of the demoralization in Liverpool is due to idea that the re- cent decline has been carried to a point where the short .interest had become greatly extended at time when the ex- haustion of the supplies was in evidence even with bad trade. Liverpool shows this in that with a weak market the immediate deliveries had appreciated over the distant 10 Liverpool points during the past three days. It is believed that the contracts which have been sold dur
 ing the past three weeks have to some degree gone into the hands of spinners as the distant deliveries have sold on the lowest basis for the past three seasons
 They do not often have an opportunity to buy December deliveries at less than Size in the month of April Cotton has yet to grow and pass through all of the contingencies of the weather. Every one believes that trade is bad, so that if it changes it must improve and certainly the financial outlook has already changed.
