SENSATIONAL WEEK
 IN COTTON MARKET Frost Scare Causes a General
 Advance in Prices QUICK REACTION MADE May Notices Are Quickly Stopped in New York Market and Prices Score Small Advance Over Figures of Last Week
QUICK REACTION MADE

New York, April 29.-It has been week of sensations and sharp furries in cotton prices. The first furry was caused by a south and reports that much replanting would be necessary and difficult to ac- complish because of the scarcity of seed. This led to a sharp advance. Then came d reaction. owing to warmer weather and reports that the damage had been exag- gerated. Also there was a fear in the minds of many that the May notices on Friday, the 29th inst, might have dam- aging effect on the market. Spot mar Liverpool were very small, the Bombay receipts for the week were big, and oi late the certihcated stock here has in- creased rapidly The deliveries on May contracts are expected to be very large up to the last of May. The anti-option bill and the grand jury proceedings hang over the market and a recent slump in securities has not tended to help mat ters. Many call it a clique in the market and avoid it. fearing to buy lest they should receive holdings of the big bulls or to go short lest they should be S4NSSHSos HiS lld5 CduSeQ a SndrD 1aIl- Ing off in transactions. It has been larse- ly an affair between big men, The uu- shot is some advance for the week and particularly the fall months.
 On Friday nearly 100000 bales were ten dered on May contracts, but they were stopped in twinkllng by the brokers supposed to represent James A. Patten, Frank B. Hayne, William P. Brown and Eugene Scales. It is also said that the cotton will be shipped out to domestic and foreign mills, where some 40,OO0 bales are already. Bulls are supposed 10 light cn their loads a little, but in the main have stood up to the rack and fought their opponents with great determination
 In the meantime 1t is argued that a big crop is absolutely imperative, failing which higher prices are likely to be re corded during the year 1910. Bears re- tort that any deficiency of supplies Is off set by the curtailed production in this county and that Lancashire Is facing a prolonged lockout should the master spinners reduce wages 5 per cent. as seems to be their intention to do. Man. chester reports a good business. how ever. and bulls are skeptical about any lockout
 Persistent reports are received of re- cent damage by frost in Mississippi Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas. It Is insisted that not only are the stocks in Liverpool someth,ne like half a million bales smaller than a year ago. but that supplies on the colti- nent of Europe are down to very m od- crate total. to say the least
 Large spot interests have been buying here. Buying in connection with the an nouncement of difficulties among cotton merchants in two southern states and also at Havre has been to some extent a sustaining factor. Many experienced men regard the situation. however, as so un- settled that they are simply watching events

Must RepInnt Cotton

Athens, April Special )-Farmers are just beginning to realize what has happened when they find that all the cotton planted will have to be replanted and all the corn, much of which had been plowed the first time, is dead and will have to be planted over. Cotton seed are scare and higher than ever known and this is hard blow to the planter.
 Much cotton had been narrowed and was chopped out in some localities. The
 fruit crop is blighted for this year, and it was one of the most promising in years.
