 NEW YORK, April 4.-Efforts of the professionals to depress stock values have proved futile. Wall street is beginning to get over it's nervousness in regard to the credit situation, and those who would force stocks to lower levels are looking about for something else in which to base their campaign. Money rates are slowly hardening, but it is only in response to the wider demands or lcgitimate business. The fact that everybody is on guard and that the possibility of imitation is such live consideration is one of the best fed- lures of the present business condl- tons.
 our total gold supply, including all that is in the hands of the federal reserve is estimated at $4oOO, 900, 900, which creates credit reservoir Of approximately $45,000, 0o0,0 GOO. We afe at present using but the merest frac- ton of this, but it is not so much the fact that we have this trem<dous supply availab ble, as it is that what ever portion we use of it will have to be accounted for, and if we use too much. prices of commodities will have to be increased to provide suf- fieient earning power to meet the cost of this credit.
 Must Pay Money Back.
 Merchants and manufacturers are not forgetting that credit at the bank is Just so much money borrowed and that 1t has to be paid back sooner or later. They have had some sad eX- periences within the past two years which has taught them caution, and q good many concerns are still feel ing the effects of writing down in ventories in the arbitrary fashion they were compelled to do to meet the conditions of deflation. They have learned the advantage of quick turnover

SHARP REACTION FOLLOWS ADVANCE
 IN COTTON PRICES.

NEW YORK, April "A further advance at the opening of the cotton market this morning met a renewal of liquidation, southern and local sell ing, which caused sharp reactions. May contracts declined from 29.4Sc to 2SS9c and October from 25.76c to 2525c, closing at 29.06c and 25.31c, respectively. The general market closed irregular at a net decline of 1 to 25 points with the late months relatively easy.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of to S7 points on the con tinued firmness of Liverpool, an un- favorable weather map and reports of somewhat increased spot de mand A few stop orders were un- covered on this initial upturn. which carried old crop months about 3l to Al points net higher with July sell ing at 2S.65c. Notwithstanding the continued complaints of delayed farm work, new crop months sold only 15 to 25 points net higher, however, and the general list turned easier as soon as the initial buying orders had been executed. Unfavorable detailed weather reports showing heavy rains in the central belt and lighter, but
 
 sections failed to check the decline and the market became very weak during the early afternoon. Evident ly the unfavorable weather news created no serious apprehension and the failure of demand to broaden on the opening advance was prob ably disappointment to recent buy CTS for rally, or some of the older longs. At any rate, there was heavy commission house liquidation of both May and July contracts. while the south was considerable seller of new crop months and the general list showed net losses of IS to 30 points late in the afternoon with July sell ing at 2S.07c and December 24.SOc. The close was several points up from the lowest on covering It was rumored that long contracts in May and July, which had been carried over the previous break, were liaui- dated during today's trading owing to the failure of the unfavorabIe weather and higher cables to mate rially stimulate demand

WEATHER CAUSES WHEAT DROP ON. CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Although dur ing much of the time today the wheat market)reflected an advance in Liv- erpooI quotations, belief that the do- mestic winter crop had received sub stantial benefit from rain and snow jed afterward to reaction. The close was unsettled at 14c net decline to like advance, with May $1.20l le n S1,205s and July $11715 e 1T as Corn finished F e 7sc up, oats un- changed to Is e l. off and provisions unchanged to 7c higher.
 At first the wheat bulls in the Chi cago market were assisted both by the Liverpool advance and by ind- tions which most needed moisture had received the last. For a while strength of values in the corn mar ket did a good deal likewise to stlm- ulate buying of wheat. and so too, did estimates that Europe had taken Canadian, but including considerable durum.
 Realizing sales broadened out however, on the price upturns in wheat. and with private reports indi- eating that more moisture had been supplied to the .winter wheat terri- tory than was shown by the govern ment, the market was two-sided one during the late dealings. Mar rowing of the spread between the May delivery and the July was the principal feature of the trading at the last.
 Good export business in corn, to- gether with gossip that wet weather In Argentine was delaying the crop movement there had much to do with lifting the corn market here. Be- sides, corn receipts in Chicago were the smallest for some time past. Oats Jagged owing to liberal arrivals at primary points.
 Provisions were firm in response to the action of hog values.

 She recalled past days when her husband was leather worker in his fathers tannery in Massachusetts and later In Chicago, of his cam- paigns for alderman and judge.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

NEW YORK, April 4.-After opening well over last nights close. prices were not sustained. There seems to be some drag on the market. h all proba bility 1t Is the present high prices. and it takes a power fu lot of favorable news to cause the mar ket to advance, whereas at times during dull periods it off very rapidly and quietly. The market had an extremely favorable appearance on the close last night. and there has been little change in the news, if anything it is more favorable for higher prices than yesterday. It seems to us that the extremely bad weather throughout the belt will induce further buying and cause the market to recover. 1t is generally expected also that there will be good demand for the near positions as considerable hedge interest is believed to exist Though the market was rather disappointing today, expect some covery, particularly in view of the bad weather.

BIRMINGHAM, April 4-Quotations from Liverpool were slightly better than expected with good sales of 1000 bales at an advance of 40 points in tn cir middlings.

NEW ORLEANS. April 4.-Strength in the early trading In cotton today was re- placed by an easy tone in the later trad ing, and late in the session the active montAs were 2t to 30 points under the ciose~f yesterday. after having traded. as high as 23 to 32 points over The close was at net losses of 9 to 29 points. May closed at ss Ssc pound, after having tc traded ie, as ns high as .7sc and as low as to 2i. 71c and closed at 24 .7Sc.
 The first half hour saw the market at it's best, buying being stimulated by the rainy weather over the greater part of the belt. with extremely heavy rains in the more central portions. A better Liverpool than due helped to make higher open ing. and there was more less buying on claims of better spot demand, both To- cally and in interior markets
 Longs let go at the advance from the middle of the morning and liquidation was much in evidence. This selling out ap- peared to be mainly due to disappointment over the tone of the weekly crop review by the government. which. while unfav- orable. was not as unfavorable as generally expected In the afternoon many points in the interior wired in that more inquiry for spots was being felt. but these reports did not check the decline. although just on the close there was small upturns on real izng by early short sellers.
