COTTON YARN WEAK AND 8LIQHTLY LOWER, The New York Commercial: The weak ness noted In the cotton yarn market last week continues and orders for small to me- dlum-nlsed Iota are being accepted st con cessions of %©%c per pound. This weak coming to the market tn search of supplies. In muuy Instances, the orders sent In, and the demands of the manufacturer* now anx ious to secure yarns, are of such a nature that Helling ngetfts have been unable to meet them. Hmall wearing concerns are demanding medium and fine count yarns. nu .. v ..... coarse counts they are refusing to operate unless eren more marked concessions are granted. Helling agents representing large ■pinning mills pare refused to Imok any of these orders and are holding firmly to prices which were quoted last week. Their plants are fairly well supplied with or ders sufficient, ft Is stated, to keep them running well Into June. Until the mills are In need of additional business, it Is not expected that they will accept further, or ders st a sacrifice of prices. Ing through the market trying yarn at '■Harp concessions wltli which to fill out badly depleted supplies. The knit- yarn division of the market, however. flnr Is In somewhat better condition than was expected, and the concessions demanded| would-be buyers have lu many case* been refused. Business has lieefl put through^ however, st concessions of 1 40*44 WS pound, but as the week opens, prices show an Inclination to stiffen as knitting Interests, enter the market for supplies. Ft Is firmly believed that pricer would advance and that the present weak ness will us entirely eliminated. The low er prices hare been largely due to a lack of demand during the poet weekor so. coupled with reports from Philadelphia, that selling agents hare l»een laying, out fairly large supplies of yarn at low flgurea, New Orleans.

April 24.—Tlmea-Dem- ocrat: To the bull who has been trained to count on price Improvement when the weather map shows unsea sonable frost anywhere In the belt and the bears tell of rapidly diminishing supplies, yesterday's cotton market was a disappointing affair. However, noth. Ing developed to change the general attitude or to alter professional opinion unless It be the character of the uni form news bearing upon the May position at New York, which Is said to be "sewed up,” In great shape by a long interest reported prepared to take up the cotton. The local talent, however, Is not yet sure the big Issue will not be side-stepped at the psycho, logical moment. Port stocks are not,- well under the corresponding record for the big crop year. Of the Na.w Orleans atock probably less than 50,000 bales remain unsold In factors' hands, and of that remnant a very large por tion, estimated about as high as nfty per cent untenderable. Reactionary tendencies are apparent at Uverpool, but the. magnitude of the dally spot turnover suggests plenty of Inherent strength to fall back on. Thus the situation, by no really fresh Influence and subject to the now well understood relations of supply and demand and to the character of the new crop weath er. and restricted by the smallness of speculation, changes not, despite the general wish to the contrary.—Hay ward, Vick & Clark.
