 Birmingham. April 22.-In the ab- sence of Liverpool, the New York market and any particular cotton news the New Orleans cotton market showed considerable strength today closing 10 to Is points above yester- day. and in the face of a fairly good spell of weather the values were around the weeks highs. The spot situation has held rather firm dur ing the week with a slight improve ment in demand noted. The forecast over the weekend was for clearing and warmer while the political situa- ton in Genoa was more favorable, fairly encouraging exports and mill takings for the week and continued
 uneasiness over the size of the cot ton crop has recently induced new buying in the market.
 About the only severe weight on the market now is the fear of large tenders on the New York May options
 next Tuesday or liquidation in ad- vance of the first noticeday. Due to
 this fact the near positions have been unable to keep pace with the new crop months in the advances. cable from Manchester stated the
 labor trouble had finally been ar la bly settled and should the textile strikes in our country be brought to
 
 tion for sharp advance.
 The dry goods report gain in sales, exports are good and throughout the south conditions are gradually im- proving. We cannot see anything in the situation to cause any mate rial decline at presen. and believe purchases of the new crop months on all good setbacks will prove very profitable.-S R. Stewart & Go. 
 r. J. FENNELL & CO.'S LETTER
 New Orleans, April 22.-(Special.)-
 Unless all signs fail the stage is be- ing set for bull movement in ot-
 ton. probably such as has recently
 been experienced in grain. stocks and bonds.
 The west and Wall street have pro-
 fitted largely by rising values for | commodities and securities and are | in a good position to take hold of cot i ton as an investment in event of prospects this year being only for a
 moderate cotton crop, as a moderate | crop this year of say 1000. 900 to 12.- ! 000.000 bales would prove to be a | short yield commensurate with prob I able. world requirements for next sea- l son since this seasons consumption by the world points to about 12,500 900 l bales.
 l In other words trade will have to i depend almost entirely on this years | production for next season wants as l carryover by the world at close Of | this season will likely be reduced to
 about one-half of last years world s
 carryover of 9,14s.000 bales of Amer | ican.
 Yesterday we had occasion to dwell
 on the growing strength of the sta l tistical position of raw cotton in the | United States. Today we have req | son to comment on the growing l strength of domestic cotton goods, due to the New England mill strike
 reducing stocks of the finished prod : uct, sales of print cloth at Fall
 river amounting to 250.000 pieces the | past week against 100000 previous | week and reports intimate that sales
 would have been half million pieces | if mills were disposed to sell. As 2 result cotton goods values are tend ' ing higher. with demand broadening
