Liverpool opened about as expected —8 to 10 lower on this crop, and 7 to 8 on the next Sales 12,000. Spots showed a loss of 12 points. The market shows a good deal of strength In the face of a good many discouraging circumstances. Foremost was the San Francisco horror, which grows rather than diminishes with time, and which affecting the stock market also affected the cotton trade, came as a great public disaster, which may have consequences of immediate concern to the cotton trade or itself, though no one Is looking for anything serious In this direction. Everything considered It was sur prising there was not a greater de cline. Schlll was an early seller of July. The weather news from the bolt yesterday was generally very favor able.

New OrleanB, La., April 20. After displaying considerable weak ness on the opening In consequence of further liquidation and the reported soiling of winter months by southern Interests, options In the later session stcndled somewhat and closed 7 points lower than yesterday. Spot sales of 12,000 bales were more encouraging, even though at n decline of 12 points. The early Btrength In evidence on the opening of the local market was partly due to some little buying for outside accounts, probably on the part of those who rcmnlned short over night and partly owing to some support by the more prominent bulls, but bear tac tics soon thereafter became sufficiently general to cause a decline, which In turn was checked by later reports of heavy rains In Toxns. The nervousness of the market be came clearly apparent In the erratic course pursued by futures in today's trading. The gloom caused by the disaster to the western metropolis still hangs over the market, but grad ually Is becoming less os It slowly be comes apparent thnt the industries and finances of the country have not experienced an Irreparable loss. THe generally heavy rains In the west, es pecially In Texas, . have doubtless caused some dclny In planting, while tho quietness of the spot market both hore and In the Interior are Influences of paramount Importance in shaping the course of tho public opinion, but one condition that the present market stands sorely In need of Is the broad ening Influence of outside speculation.
