GOOD RECOVERY IN
PRICE OF COTTON
Nearly All Losses of Previous
Day Are Made Good
BULL SUPPORT STRONG
early In Session Prices Are Heavy But
the Market Becomes Firm and Adj
yances on Reports of Better
Spot Demand

New York, April 6.-There was sharp
rally in today's cotton market as a result
of renewed bull support and covering,
with May selling at 14.57c or "a points
above the closing figures of yesterday and
50 points above the low level reached on
the big break of yesterday afternoon. The
highest prices were reached late in the
day, and the market closed firm at net
gain of 10 to 80 points, or at practically
the best. The opening was steady at an
advance of 10 points on May and of to
points on later months in response to
better cables than expected, and a con-
tinuation OF yesterdays late buying move
rent.
During the early trading the bull leaders
seemed to be giving the market no sup
port, and while there was considerable
buying by trade interests prices grad
ually eased off to within points of last
nights close for May, and to about the
closing figures of yesterday for the later
months. This reaction was attributed to
local bear renewal of the heavy selling
that was attributed to the bull leaders
yesterday, and during the middle of the
day the market firmed up on reports that
the lower prices were attracting better
trade demand for spots.
Wall street houses became quite heavy
buyers, there was active covering, and
In the late trading there was a renewal of
support from southern bull leaders, while
the increasing May premium suggested
that the concentrated long interest in the
near months had not been forced out on
tho decline of the previous day.
Southern spot markets officially reported
early were 1s6Ac net lower. Clearing
weather was reported in the south. The
spot sales in Liverpool were factor
on the early advance, but later private
cables stated that part of the business
represented purchases for shipment to
New York.
Receipts at the ports today, 1909 bales,
against 17,04S last week and 1885 last
year. For the week, $1,000 bales against
1886 last week and 93781 last year.
Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1858,
against 5555 last year, and at Houston,
979 against 1929 last year.

New orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, April 6.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of to z
p,,nts ON the old crop months, and. l
mint on the new. Liverpool stood much
higher than expected. and the rise on the
opening was not good response; prices
were held down by general selling, which
was based on the growing conviction that
the Nav deal in New York is off, and
that the new crop will be planted under
favorable conditions. The weather map
show wed dry weather In the western cotton
belt and rains in the eastern, just what
was desired. Farmers in the west viii
now have an opportunity to complete their

prices to break to 10 points from the

STRAWBERRIES WERE
SCARCE YESTERDAY
Prices, However, Were Not
Changed on Avenue.
POULTRY rs DOWN SOME
Small Shipments of Florida Green Veg
etables Were Received Which
Seemed Sufficient to Meet
the Demand
POULTRY rs DOWN SOME

Failure of the arrival. of much-needed
strawberry shipments yesterday made the
Morris avenue market somewhat short
of the fruit. The price of 81 and s. per
crate. for Florida berries and of 20 and
25 cents for the south Alabama article,
was nevertheless unchanged. Receipts of
ample supplies will probably soon be in
order, AMI the near-famine will be
averted.
Small shipments of Florida green veg
etables were received, and the healthy de-
mand does not exceed the supply. APP
pies, oranges and other fruit from points
south are received daily in small quanti-
ties and are selling readily.
A somewhat overstocked poultry mar
6et caused the price to decline slightly,
while eggs sold steadily at 20 cents.
Meats, fish and live stock prices re-
mainea unchanged.

Hubbard Bros. 4 Co.'S Letter

New York, April 6.-(Speclal.) -Man-
chester appeared in Liverpool as large
buyer taking from that market more
cotton today than at any time since the
first OF January. Such action on the part
of spinners confirms the reports of good
trade in Lancashire, of which we have
been receiving many advices. Europe
also appeared here as buyer during
the open hour and at the close of busi-
ness. We hear of a little demand at the
mills here, the first for several months,
probably due to the Indications of
larger wheat crop, stimulating interior
buyers. The market recovered nearly
the entire decline of yesterday with a
rather better feeling In the trade, which
will continue If Liverpool gives support
tomorrow.
