THE STOCK MARKET

New York. April 2o--Business in the stock market made poor start today after partly due to foreign markets remaining closed according to custom for Easter Mon day; while in this country the Boston stock market was closed with the effect of some subtraction of securities.
 The market was exceedingly torpid and ty in effecting any movement of prices. Whatever the source of. the demand that advanced prices within the first hour. 1t was soon exhausted and stagnation deveI- oped. Bears were encouraged to put out some short lines when this condition devel- oped and sag in prices resulted. The movement trivial and halting at all times Developments bearing on the situa- tion were almost equally unimportant. Unit ed States steel failed to benefit from the re-affirmation of iron prices which was de- cided on after the last stock exchange ses-
 Equally ineffective were rumors in cir- culation of heavy orders for steel rails soon to be placed. These rumors probably arose pend on the decision of the American Rail. ways Association on the rail pattern aud that body on the subject is to he presented this week.
 United States Steel nevertheless. was a heavy spot in the market and it's dropping tendency was of considerable sentimental effect All of the metal industrials were more or ess ry r,csa iTem @ t6a. tS neWs of the resumption of mining operations to- day by many thousands of soft coal miners. m rOHseQueutc uL tne Sctiicmcht Ot Nhut labor dispute.
 Something was made also of the contin- ued assertions that negotiations were in progress to effect an advance in freight rates by the railroads in an effort to rectify the cut in their revenues. shart upturn in the wheat market was an unfavorable in fluence on stocks. holders of which are keeping an attentive eye on crop develop ments. More gold was engaged for Paris but the influence was allowed that the ultimate destination of some of the metal Is to be Berlin.
 The bank statement published during the holiday interval confirmed all other eVi- dences of the heavy accumulation of cash which is going on at this center. the sur plus reserves of the banks having reached round fifty million dollars. Call loans rates are not lower simply because the banks and trust companies by tacit con, sent are not pushing the lending of ther funds in that department.
 The demand for time loans is very slug sish and offerings of commercial paper are light choice grades commanding four to four and a half per cent. The money mar ket conditions are therefore highly propi- tious for the offering new capital issues as head of the market. but some anxiety exists nevertheless for the success of the new issues. which may be revealed by new flotations.

Hand-to-Mouth Policy of the Mills in Buying is . Good Omen for
 the Southern
 Producer

Atlanta. Ga. April 2o.-That the de. cline in the price of spot cotton. rath.
 CT than general trade depression. l.
 responsible for the distress of mil
 owners throughout the country. is the view taken by President Harvie Jor-
 dan. of the Southern Cotton Associa- tion.
 He declares that as prices descend the jobbing trade demands concessions in the price of yarns and fabrics. The mills find themselves with accumulated high. which they don't care to sell at back.
 Says Mir. Jordan:
 For several months prior to April 1, the spinning industry in New England and the South was very much disturb ed. goodly number of mills in Massachusetts, the Carolinas and Geor- . in order to prevent the accumulation of yarns and manufactured goods which did not find ready. sale at profitable country. following fast upon the heeis of the financial panic. precipitated in Wall Street last October, caused a slackening up in the buying power of the mills reduced their working time. a number of new mills, and old mills putting in new machinery have started
 within the past two weeks we have heard but little talk about continued curtailment. and the efforts made in both New England and the South to secure a general shutdown or curtail- ment for sixty days have failed. The cotton mills In this country, and in Europe are now suffering more from the recent heavy depression in the price of spot cotton than in the con- tinued slacksning in trade, As the price of spots go down the jobbing trade demands continued concessions in fabrics. and the mills find themselves in many instances with accumulated stocks of goods. manufactured from higher priced cotton. which they do not desire to sell at prices much lower than a few months back.
 This is probably the first time in a long while that the cotton mill trade rganization by the continued de- pression in the price of spot cotton. The spinners can bring about a change for the better by going actively in the market and bidding up prices on spot cotton for the balance of the remnant bale of spots in the South before an- other crop can be harvested.
 "The present hand-to-mouth policy of the mills in- buying spot cotton is proving one of the best weapons the speculators have to hammer prices. unemployed are again being put to work in the industrial centers of the country, and the present Hull in the demand for cotton fabrics cannot con- tinue much longer. As the spinning gets back on a normal foot ing the demand for spot cotton will cause prices to advance and the present rift in the clouds will widen to a monday brightness of general prosper ity again"

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. April 20.--The cotton market made new low records for the season dur ing today's trading with the close steady. at a net decline of 14n23 points. Sales for the day were estimated at 275.000 bales.
 The market opened steady at a net de- Thursday and quickly increased the loss. notwithstanding reports of too much rain in the Western belt At first there was a scattering demand from commission houses which probably based on reports of overflows in the Southwest and the possibil- ity that re-planting might be necessary but there was active selling particularly for European account. One large house with German connections was credited with sell Ing fully 10000 bales of July during the first half hour.
 There was also pressure from Wall Street and taken altogether the market ruled very practically the lowest figures of the day on the old crop positions, and only couple of points up on the new crop as a result of covering. Advices from Germany regarding trade conditions are very unfsvorable and the impression prevailed here that 1t was too early in the season for wash-outs in the Southwest to be an important factor.
 Liverpool was closed owing to a conttnu- ation of the Easter holidays and tomorrow the New Orleans market will be clsed for spring elections
