4 SMALL EXCITED ADVANCE IN COTTON Market Shows Net Advance Following Weather Re-
 port From South

New York, April 27-Unfavorable pri- vate weather reports caused small ex- cited advance in the cotton market during this mornings early trading. but with the official weather details falling to show as much rain as anticipated, there was an equally sharp reaction with the close easy, net points lower to points higher
 The market opened firm at decline of points on May but generally from to points higher on unfavorabie weather
 news. Big over night selling orders held
 the advance in check on the call and
 caused some irregularity Tn the first
 minutes. but the receipt of private reports
 on rain in Alabama Georgia and Missis-
 sippi brought in outside buying orders
 and the market during the middle of the
 morning showed net advance of about
 s to l2 points.
 official forecasts for unsettled weather
 and showers in the belt over Sunday
 added to the buying movement which
 was evidently for both accounts, also per- haps the bulk demand represented cover ing for over the weekend by recent sell CTS. Offerings became heavier on the advance and later in the morning the market weakened with sellers more az gressve owing to the failure of the offi- cial weather details to confirm all the ] private reports of rainfall In east n and | central sections of the belt.
 Closing prices were at practically the l lowest point of the day on new crop posi- l tions. Liverpool was lower than due by a considerable margin. but was supposed I to have closed before receiving the pri- yate reports of rain. The weather map l itself showed no important precipitation
 in the belt for the preceding 24 hours. with l the exception of a fall of over two inches at Memphis. but there was a low area west of the belt which led to private i predictions of rain over Sunday The completed weekend figures attracted lit- I tie attention, and the talk around the
 local ring suggested that the trade is con- l fidently interested in weather conditions | and the outlook for the new crop. 1 Receipts of cotton at all ports today l 1254l bales, against 26,179 last week and l 15,l0l last year. Today's receipts at Gal | weston 355i bales. against 1S7 last year. at New Orleans 2912, against 1l50 last year, and at Houston 1872 bales, against 1871

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans. April 27.-The cotton mar ket this week showed a net loss of eo to 25 points on the close This was due to profit taking by longs chiefly although some little short selling was done late fin the week on the idea that more set tied weather conditions would prevail dur ing the new week to come
 The high prices of the week were made on Tuesday and the low prices on Sat urday. At the highest the trading months were 10 to 15 points over last week < close; at the lowest they were 2s to es under; the range of prices was 3s to A points.
 Weather reports were the main influ- ence of the week and they were un- f.sorabe enough in the early part to put prics to rev high levels for the present bull movement. July selling up to F. l9c and December up to II .93c. After tho middle of the week the weather be- came somewhat better and crop accounts showed marked improvement. The mar ket acted somewhat over bought and the better crop reports had more effect than they would have had otherwise
 Comparatively little attention was paid to the river situation. in spite of the fact that many thousands of acres or II cotton lands were stil under water The trade seemed fo desire to tata q broader view of the new crop and 10 consider the belt as a whole rather tnan tc nny too much attention to any one portion.

Khartoum Today

From the Christian Herald
 Only little more than % years ago the world barred it's head in honor of the gall iant and devoted General Gordon and the name Khartoum came into our language as word of squalor. of barbarism of horror and of heroism. Fourteen years ago General Kitchener led his columns LID through the desert to Khartoum; through thirst and fanatic enemies to a city of mud huts between the White and the Blue Niles Today he is happy to be "Kitch- ener of khartoum," for from a city of savagery and squalor there has been a complete new town. The military railway now takes one from Wadi Halfa to Khar- toum in two days. Wide, white streets are now traversed by tram line; Gordon college has risen from the sands to con- memorate the death in the desert; spacious government house and fine ad- ministration buildings have become ;he center of section of beautiful residences, and few weeks ago. climax of this redemption from dts past.

ACTIVE GENERAL
 TRADE IN WHEAT Market Advanced Yester- day to Point Higher Than
 for Several Years

Chicago, April 27.-In the face of pre- dictions much needed rain for Kansas and Nebraska, the wheat market advanced to- day to a point higher than for several years. One reason was dread of big decrease in North Dakota acreage. Prices closed nervous and irregular 1ac to 2Be above last night. Corn finihshed un- changed to 1saAc up, oats off Ac to ssc, and provisions dearer by Dc to 35c.
 There was an active general trade in wheat with commission houses on both sides of the market and with values
 fuetuating rapidly. The September op- ton made the greatest gain. It was in
 this future chiefly that buyers sought to
 take advantage of the alleged falling off
 said to be probable In North Dakota
 planting. One report said that not more
 than 20 per cent of seeding had been done
 In the north half of the state, ard that
 the blowing was in no better shape. Ab-
 sence of rain in Kansas operated also in
 favor of the bulls as heavy crop losses
 were reported from additional counties,
 Edwards and Stafford in particular.
 When July wheat touched "1S." that is
 sl .14 bushel, signs for a time seemed to
 indicate the end of the bull campaign.
 The ensuing reaction, however proved to
 be but temporary. A fresh wave of buy
 Ing set in and number of leading con cerns switched to the long side of the market. Between the opening and the windup July swung from sl .l2A to sl. .lss4 closing at s1i3sa1 .13A, a gain of hall cent net
 The little life in the corn market came from the wheat bulge. There was a trihe better speculative and shipping demand Inquiries from the country continued for bids on cash corn. Receivers. 1t was said were expecting better run of receipts the next week or 10 days. July ranged HskMT24c. an advance of shade over last night. Spot grades were steady. No ? yellow was quoted at S2c.
 In the oats crowd there was consider. able reaSzing by longs. Most of them were local speculators. who preferred tc secure profits before the week end There was rumor that the largest short ir May had effected a private settlement Upper and lower levels touched for July were b4l5c and 54is with last sales l.c net lower at 54Ac.
 Investment demand received the blam, for rise In the cost of provisions. Pack. CTS were liberal sellers at the, advance When the gong cleared the pit pork hac increased in cost 271hc to S5c, lard l5c te 1I1ac and ribs 5c to f21kc
