Liverpool ad vices on the whole were more favorable than expected, causing our market to open 2 to 4 points higher and occasioned an additional improvement of 5 to 6 points on shorts covering. Subsequently a break of 6 to 9 from the top was established on the heavy port and interior receipts, large weekly Bombay receipts and the easier feeling in spots combined to advices from Fall River saying the trust had reduced the price of goods one-eighth of a cent. Near the close values steadied slightly, making the net gain 2 points on the day. The Houston Post to-day says that the cotton acreage in Texas will be larger than last year, and refers to the present holdings in that state as being much heavier than generally anticipated. Re ports from other sections of the-South ln regard to stocks held are that they ex ceed last year, and the plantation move ment from week to week confirms this information. With the outturn of the crop pointing to larger figures than was thought possible some weeks ago, and the continuance of unsatisfactory textile trade conditions in all countries, coupled to the very favorable planting weather existing over the belt for the last seven days, it looks as if values will seek a lower level barring manipulation. Murphy A Co’s Cotton Letter. New York, April 26.—Early Liverpool cables this morning were in some respects disappointing to iocal bulls, indicating a decline there of 2 to 3 from yesterday's final. The local market opened at prac tically unchangd figures, however, and during the initial trading steadied 2 to 3 points, but this soon gave way- before a renewal of the reactionary tendency noted during the closing hours yesterday, and the market gradually sagged. Toward noon the inherent strength of actual cot ton conditions became evident and the market rapidly reacted on renewed buying by' the profit-takers of yesterday. Of course,, a temporary reaction from the highest figures' from last Monday was in order, and the technical position of the market has undoubtedly been considerably strengthened as a result. Spot saleß of 12,000 bales were recorded at Liverpool on a decline of 1-32. This is one of the lar gest spot days at Liverpool for sAne time, and may be regarded as accurately reflect ing the remarkably strong undercurrent of bullish sentiment, which has recently been a prominent feature in the market. Hnhliard Brin. A Co.'* Cottoa Letter. New York, April 25.—Opening lower, Liverpool rallied, recovering half the de cline and closing steady, checked the de cline here and brought some outside cov ering orders, which advanced prices there 5 points over last evening. Telegrams were received from Fall River stating that the syndicate had reduced the quota tions 14 d per yard. Receipts at the in terior towns continue on a very large scale, especially In the Southwest, where the movement is simply enormous. Af ter yesterday's sharp decline a reaction was in order, but there is nothing in sight upon which to base an advance, as this reduction in prices in Fall Riv er would tend to prove that the reported improvements in cot ton goods trade was ephermeral and not permanent. Our local trade is stiil in clined to the bull side, despite the receipts and the shipment has been largely liqui dated. DRV GOODS. New' York, April 25,—The Fall River Committee reduced the price of narrow print cloths to-day to the basis of 2%c for regulars. No reports as to the quan tity of sale* made, but it Is believed to be small. In other cotton goods depart ments the market has been quiet and price* without material change. Weather here continues bad and tells against spot business seriously. THE RICE MARKET. Advices from the South note light move ment of rice along the Atlantic coast, and steady and fairly sizable inquiry' at New Orleans and interior points. Markets gen erally are in good form, as the volume of business continued ahead of the corre sponding period last spring. It is true some of the factors present a year ago are now an absent quantity, but there are enough and to spare—as above suggested —of encouraging features. Reports con cerning new crop note that larger prepa rations are being interfered with or sus pended in many sections because of wet weather; where planting has been cbm pleted low temperatures have checked germination, or growth of grain; as a re sult, some predict late harvest, but un der favoring conditions a late start makes little difference in the finish. fables and correspondence from abroad note firmer feeling on cargoes, witli quiet features on cleuned. Arrivals are some what larger in amount than last year equal date; tho excess, however, being of lower grades unsuitable for the United States. The amount afloat is less than last year, the decrease being principally from Burmah.

Special attention given to the execution of contracts for future delivery in cotton. proflt-taking in other parts of the list. There were further developments of strength to-day as a supplement to the Union Pacific movement, and the strength of the market was more generally diffused than at any time this week. The manner in which the market re ceived the formal announcement of the terms of the Burlington merger, had an encouraging effect on sentiment. There was little effect on Burlington Itself, which moved narrowly by comparison with other stocks, but was very firm all day. Considering the long continued and large advance which the stock has had slnee this transaction first began to be discussed, and Its widespread Influence in causing other advances In practically the whole market, the firmness of the stock at the highest level in Its history was surprising. One of the favorite maxims with Wall street traders is to sell on good news. Burlington's quiet firmness on the confirmation of its good, news argued small holdings of a purely speculative character awaiting realization. The een ttmental effect was very marked, owing to the warnings which have been coming from influential commission houses for some time past that over-speculation threatened the stability of the position in the stock market. For the first time this week the bears refrained from their final attack on the market and there was no flood of realiz ing orders which have been a feature of the iast hour of each previous day this week. The fact that the buying demand was considerably relaxed did not seem to encourage the bears to any aggressive ef forts, although there was a distinct ebb of prices in the final hour on profit-taking and final prices were considerably below the best except in a few cases. The most conspicuous movements were the outgrowth of the current conviction that the perfecting of the Burlington deal will be followed by similar arrangements on the part of other railroad systems as nn offset. The Grangers. Pacifies and Southwestern® therefore played a promi nent part in the trading. The marked strength of some of the Eastern trunk lines was supposed to be associated with the movement of the Western lines. Thus the stock market gossip attributes the large buying of Atchison to a design on the part of the Pennsylvania to control a Pacific outlet. Baltimore and Ohio, as a subsidiary company, was even more acutely affected than Pennsylvania. The advance in Atchison extended to 4%, in the preferred to 3. in Baltimore and Ohto to 5*4, and in Pennsylvania to 2*4. The advance in Northern Pacific was resumed after a lengthy period of comparative quiet, apparently on 'the theory that It was entitled to rise with Union Pacific. Union Pacific itself was at one time 2*i over last night, and twice receded below •that of last night’s price, closing with a net gain of only a fraction. The strength of Southern Pacific was due to the supposition that it will share in any advantages which accrue to Union Pa cific. The official denials which were given out of many of the rumors of yesterday and to-day were without the slightest ef fect on the market. The ease of call money precluded any anxiety over the money market. The large buying of Union Pacific con vertible bonds continued and tile market generally was strong. Total sales, par value, $7,105,000. United States refunding 2s declined >4, and the 3s registered *4 per cent, on the last call.
