There waa no outside bualnea* to apeak of. Opinion la considerably divided aa to tha Im mediate courae of the market. Many believe that It la a case of a big cro^ against big consumption at moderate Dricea. Should the weather continue good, a gradual decline might occur, but on the other hand a apcll of bad weather would bring about an advance of l-4c a pound. Wo believe It la u good policy to maintain a neutral posi tion on the market, and if there la any marked change In weather conditions, would advlao following the advance or decline. « HESTER’S WEEKLY COTTON STATEMENT Secretary Heater’s weekly atatement of the movement of cotton for the week ending April 6 ahowa an Increase Into night compared with the seven day* ending thl* data last year.

The quantity turned out was 267,360 barrels, ngnlnst 286,015 tmrrels In 1906. This week n larger milling capacity Is In motion, nml the oiitjiut should show conslderhhle Increase. However, the car situation Is very had, nnd some of the mills may restrict their operations from this cause. The flour market Inst week was featureless. Buyers, Indifferent, con tended for lower prices uml usually took flour only In a small way. It was a hard tight with most mills to do any reasonable amount of business. Foreign trade was al most a blank, Europe showing lit Go in terest In flour uml bids were not numerous. In North Dakota tho weather for the week has been mild nnd plcnwiit. and. with con siderable wind, the snow has dlHsmienrad verv rnpldlv. This Induces belief that Wheat may he gotten Into the ground compara tively early In the North. Conditions nre reporttMl qiiltc favorable In the Red River valley, where for three seasons the wheat crop‘tins lieen small, owing to cxcoiwtye moisture In. the spring.
