SMALL ADVANCE IS
MADE IN COTTON
Market Nervous But the Close
Is Steady.
FACTORS ARE BULLISH
Shorts Are Somewhat Afraid That
Bulls VIII Ship All the New
York Cotton to Europe and
Leave Them in a Hole.
FACTORS ARE BULLIsH

New York, May 3-The cotton market
continued very nervous today and during
the early trading had a sharp advance on
the old crop months. which was only part
ly lost later as a result of realizing. The
close was steady at a net advance of
! to II points. The market opened steady
at an advance OF 2 to points in response
TO steadier cables than looked for and
engagements ,of spot sales Weather re-
ports were better than expected, as tenn
peratures were not as low as feared on
the previous day, but conditions were not
considered altogether satisfactory, and
while the new crop months were relative
ly quiet they worked higher after the
call In sympathy with old crop strength.
Reports that at least 100000 bales of the
cotton taken up on contracts would be
shipped out of the local stock as rapidly
as possible seemed to render the near
months shorts very uneasy, and with
| moderate support from the New Orleans
bulls there was a sharp advance in these
positions after the opening on active COW
| erings. Around 14.9oc for May and 14.sOc
for July, or about IS points net higher
all that the bull leaders were settling on
their own scale. The market, reacted
about to points on the old crop. The
new crop, which had sold to points
higher, eased off within a point or two
OF last nights finals The weekly weather
report read bullishly, but appeared 10
have been discounted, and while there
were some bullish private advices from
the south as to the new crop prospects
the late positions ruled quiet all day.
The close was steady on a renewal of old
crop bull support and covering. The
western belt forecast was for cooler
weather tonight or tomorrow with scat
tering showers. 1t was estimated that
leading buiis sold between 10000 and $1,000
bales of May and July respectively on
| the early advance, but these interests ap-
peared to be giving the market support
on the subsequent reaction.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
1851 bales against 1890 last week and
27,165 last year. For the week, 10000 bales
against $3.50 last week and 115O9e last
year. Todays receipts at New Orleans,
1905 bales, against 9251 last year.

Hubbard Bros. Il Co.'s Letter.

New York, May Especial. with a
lower Liverpool than was expected and
an expectation before the opening that
prices would be easier, the trade was met
with a good support from the bulls and
a sharp advance in the old crop position.
This was so contrary to calculation that
the local operators were averse to trad
ing and dullness resulted. The leaders
gave the necessary support on any de-
cline, some short covering in July en-
sued, and while very quiet the market
has been remarkably steady. The trade Is
waiting some new feature while the bulls
are confident in their position and have
at the moment control of the nearby po-
sitions. There is no new business.
