COTTON MARKET
 IS LESS ACTIVE Only Business Was An Evening Up From An
 Early Decline

New York, April 12-The cotton mar ket was less active today and business seemed to be largely in the way of even by partial rally. The close was steady at net loss of 1do points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of 1 point on October but generally l to I points lower under overnight selling crders. The cables were a shade better than due, however, and with reviews of the dry goods market rather more en- cohraging, prices rallied after the call with July selling at 14.55 on covering and a little fresh buying. But Liverpool weakened shortly after, the local open- ing and prices here soon turned easier under renewed liquidation with July con- tracts selling during the early afternoon about g points net lower. Weather re- ports indicated further rains and unset tied conditions in the south leading to continued talk of delayed planting and the new crop ruled relatively steady, sell ing only or points under the closing figures of Ast night. Scattering 1Iqui- dation for over the Easter holidays seemed to be pretty we'll completed on the other crop decline of about 20 points from the high level of yesterday morn ing and the market in the last hour ral- lied several points from the lowest on covering and moderate support of July from one of the leading bull brokers. Local sentiment appeared to be moro or less confused all day as to the status of the old crop bull campaign in view of recent heavy liquidation and traders were evidently inclined to be very cautious in the matter of entering into fresh com mitments. Receipts at the ports today 'isl9 bales, against 541 last week and Ill., 5S5 last year. For the week 4oO00 bales against 3S,S24 last week and S5,S96 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans were 1909 bales, against 1880 last year.

AMERICAN WOMEN
 HELD PRISONERS

San Diego, Cal, April 12.-Mexican Nli- en and children captive in stockade at Alamo, Lower California, it became known here today. The prisoners are said to be at the mercy of their captors and to have suffered insults and indignities A protest has been made to Secretary of State Knox.
 News of the condition of the prisoners at Alamo was brought to Ensenada last week and reported to George B. Schu- mucker, United States consul, as we'll as to Gov. Celso Vega of Lower California It Is charged that Vega did not send re- lief and Schumacher ignored the com plaint.
 Secretary Knox in answer to telegram asking did, wired this reply: "The ann basasdax at Mexico City has been in structed by telegraph to request the Mex ican government to extend protection to the American citizens and the American consul at Ensenada has been instructed by telegraph to investigate and report and to ask the government for needed protec tion for those people"
 All attempts today to secure informa ton from the United States consul at Ensenada have failed and no statement can be secured from the Mexican officials in. Lower California.
 Washington, April 11-American Consul Schumacher at Ensenada telegraphed the state department today that according to a message which he had received yester- day from Alamo, the American women and cbidren held at that point were un- harmed, but probably would not be per mitted to leave the town. He expressed the belief that the provisions were becom- ing exhausted and asked for permission to go to the scene himself or send a rep resentative to investigate the situation. This was granted by the department.

MAY WHEAT TAXES
 2-CENT ADVANCE
Excited Buying Followed By Violent Break, Leav-
 ing Small Gain

Chicago, April 12.-Excited buying of ran up. the price of that option nearly % bushel, but violent break In the last hour left only B@Ac net gain. one reason for the reaction was the discovery that the advance had not stimulated to any important extent the demand here Tor cash wheat. On account of splendid rains distant futures closed at ssc to AW 7sc net decline. Corn finished 1sGAc down; oats off Mda4c and hog products irregular. 71sc up to 1215c reduction in cost.
 Speculative excitement in regard to the May delivery enumerated during most of the session the influences that would or dinarily have controlled the price Of wheat. For example, the Liverpool mar ket proved disappointment and closed unchanged to a trifie lower. Domestic crop adyices, too, were good from all rne experts in the field. Apparently the spring wheat sections now have ample moisture for the beginning of seed operations with out any drawback. Moreover, excellent growing conditions were everywhere shown in the winter wheat belt NotwItn- standing the fatterng outlook, however, May shorts became nervous at the scanti- ness with which that month was offered in the pit Bidding forced sudden buige, lifting the price 5Ac above the figures current a week ago Monday At the ad vance longs unoaded and the descent was rapid, although the reaction did not carry May as low as during the first hour, when rainy weather had naturally caused a decline. During the session N:ay ranged from s7%c to s9ssc, with the close nervous, 1s@lc up at ss1sc.
 Unsettled weather weakened corn ex- cept at times when strength of wheat had effect. May fuctuated De- tween 4S7sc and 50cf closing steady, 7s@ %c down at 49c. Cash grades were firm. No 2 yellow finished at 501sc

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, April 12.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at decline of 1 to points on the old crop months and unchanged to 1 point up on the new. Cables were not favorable. Immediate ly after the call the market was very steady on buying based on reports of too much rain in the eastern half of the cotton belt and the lisl, both old and new crops, was put to points over yesterdays last quotation. At these levels liquidation from the long side commenced and more than met the demand. At the end of the first hour of business the old crops were to points under yesterdays close and October was 1 point over.
 Liquidation of long cotton continued in a moderate way all the morning and effectually held the market down. Buyers of covers for short cotton ab- sorbed large part of the offerings, but the demand was always just a lit tie more than met. Reports from the eastern half of the cotton belt were that too much rain was falling, but these were balanced by the most op- tfmistic sorts of accounts from many points in Texas accompanied in some cases by extremely highly forecasts of the yield of that state this season.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 12.-(Special.)-A reac- ton in Liverpool today, before the noli- days which begin tomorrow afternoon, was quite natural after the sharp ad- vance of the past 10 days. The trade did not expect this reaction to come until tomorrow, and our market, in it's action today, shows this disappointment. It is thought that the bulls sold large amount of Mays yesterday, but the light movement has made the trade LOOK upon the reaction as only an incident and tendency in prices, so long Europe con- tinues to be a free buyer. Therefore. they expect Liverpool to show a sharp recov- cry tomorrow. .i ilslIsi

THE STOCK MARKET PRICES UNCHANGED Only Business Done Was In Preparation For Easter
 Holidays

New York, April 12.-Speculation in stocks was all but suspended today and prices barely changed. Almost the only business done consisted of the evening" up of the accounts in preparation for the Easter holidays in advance of which traders did not desire to embark upon fresh ventures.
 In the last half hour of trading prices were advanced to the best of the day on somewhat more urgent inquiry from the short interest and the close showed small net gains for most of the active Issues.
 During the noon hour sales amounted to less than 5000 shares, the lowest for an hours business in many years. Total sales for the day were 106,20O shares, the low record in about two years.
 Pennsylvania was one of the few stocks which displayed any activity It broke nearly point when the news came that the directors had arranged definitely for 10 per cent allotments to shareholders. The outcome of this of- fering will be watched with unusual interest over the fact that it will be the first in several years to be made direct to the stockholders, instead of the underwriting syndicates. The last pre- vious offering direct to shareholders met with indifferent success and traders. in view of this fact, interpreted todays offering as a bearish factor, and sold the stock. .
 Missouri Pacific, which broke with Pennsylvania, rallied before the close and ended the day with a slight gain More than 100000 shares of this stock have been sold in the last fortnight and the source of the liquidation remains puzzle. The February report of the road shows that, while gross earnings fell off S177,000, the shrinkage in net was kept down to $85,000 by reason of reduction of operating expenses.
 The bond market was again rela- lively more active than the stock mar ket. Short time money was somewhat easier today. The banks continued to gain on the direct interior movement, j but sustained further loss in their operations with the sub-treasury
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value $2,276,000.e United States bonds were unchanged on the call.
