NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, April 30.-The cotton
market was comparatively quiet today.
but an early reactionary tendency, due
to disappointing cables, was offset by
demand for the near months from
the people who took cotton on con-
tract yesterday. and prices ruled gen.

opening was steady, at advance of

The close was shade off from the

the undertone was steady, and On COM

Net Earnings Decreased.

No particular explanation was offered
for the break i'm Union Pacific beyond

The weekly bank statement was rather
more unfayorable than had been gener-

average figures of the surplus reserve de-
creased more than $S.OO0OOO, reducing the
total actual surplus to $4.5SS.15O and the
total average surplus to SI.1I4,4o. In
both instances the fall in reserves ap-
peared to be due to the cash bases suffer-

Passage of English Budget.

Another incident of Importance dur
ing the week was the passage at last
of the English budget bill, which now
renders necessary an ingathering by
the government of the internal revenue
taxes of the country which have been
suspended for year and half Here
"a situation is involved that is alto
gether new to English finance.
In accordance with the usual custom.
the English income taxes have in this
period been collected by banks and
other institutions disbursing dividends,
but have been withheld by the banks
from the government. and with the con-
sent of the latter. pending the settle

have. therefore. had the use of the

naturally employed 1t in making loans.
Now that the government is asking for
the money the loans must be recalled.

any particular commotion In the Eng

is the opinion of good banking people
on this side of the Atlantic that Eng

NEW YORK. April 3O.-Having fallen
violently Thursday and risen to an equal
extent Friday, the thing for the stock
market to do today apparently was to
again decline moderately. Prices would
probably have followed this course In a
normal way, that is. without accom-
plishing any great decline. had it not
been for the fact that especial pressure.
il may be of speculative sort, was
brought to bear against two prominent
stocks, the Amalgamated Copper and
Union Pacific common shares.
This set in in the last hour of business
and resulted in a net decline in these
stocks OF 3ss points each. The first named
fell to a lower point than 1t did Thurs
day or at any time previously IN the
year, and reason for the movement was
ascribed to the present unsatisfactory
state of the copper metal market and
the current indications that stocks OF
copper will show another large increase
