Avery's Letter

More favorable weather conditions and heavy selling of the July position in New York featured the cotton market this morning. The usual pre-notice day talk of shipping cotton to New York for delivery on May contracts was put out for obvious purposes. That this old gas will receive credence when it is scarcely possible to buy cotton in the interior at the price of New York Mays is something beyond me. The suckers evidently bit for all the pressure seemed to be on Julys.
 It is my opinion the outcome will be an increase of premium on Julys over Octobers and if anyone wants little sure money buy Julys and sell Octobers Forecasts for warmer weather in the cast and increasing cloudiness in the west is bearlsh weather.
 If you have to haSe some long cotton buy Julys on these soft spots.

New York, April 14.-The local market Tor raw sugar was quieter today but the undertone was firm and holders were asking higher prices. There were addi- tional sales late last night of 1o,000 bags of Cubas for May shipment at 51sc, cost and freight, equal to 6.52c for centrifugal and about S0,010 bags to New Orleans at 5$sc, cost and freight.

Prices were unchanged being listed at from 7.50c to s S.25c for fine gran ulated, although 1t was said that an out port refiner advanced prices to the SEC level.
 The market for sugar futures continued it's upward course with closing prices 2 to ' points net higher. Sales. 1e7O0 tons. Trade interests were the principal buyers, although there was considerable covering by shorts, prompted by the strength of the spot market and the reduced estimate by leading crop expert, who cabled that the present crop in Cuba would not reach 27O0,000 tons.

Chicago has been playing better

The Boston Americans did not do
so well as in the previous week, win

won one out of six. New Iork's play
improved and the Yankees took the
lead in the second division from
Washington.
In the National early in the week
New York won but one OF the three

doubleheaders against Philadelphia
the Giants took four out OF six.

FORMER GIANTS ON

or more ex-Giants in its lineup. ana
this goes, even for the Giants them
selves.
When McGraw released First Base
man George Kelly to the Pittsburs
club. the only team that did not have
an ex-Giant got one. In the Giant
lineup this year are Herzog, Demaree
and Murray. each of whom has been
turned loose by the Giants and
brought back. SO they can be fig

Besides Kelly, former Giant players
