Wednesday, April 1.
While there was no change in the
Savannah spot market to-day, con
tracts at both New York and New Or
leans were under pressure through
out the day and closed lower, the form
er market off 9@15 points, and latter
I::,ol7 on old and 10 points on new
months.
Locally the demand for the unsold
stock is reported as fair, with factors
iidding out for full quotations . Spot
buyers report no cotton offering at
concessions. From the country the
offerings are also limited, and little
disposition is shown to throw the staple
into port. Basis good middling was
currently reported at 10%c.
In the sea island cotton market
moderate activity exists, and sales of
fair lots have been unofficially report
ed. Low grades appear to be in pret
ty good request. It is thought the
week-end report will show sales of a
good lot. The official stock at Savan
nah cn last Friday was 14.415 bales, and
of this the unsold stock is variously
estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales.
The turpentine market looked sick,
being officially reported as "nothing
doing.” Witji the opening of the new
season to-day the indications appear to
be anything but favorable lor the main
tenance of the present price. , Rosins
closed linn and unchanged. The
wholesale markets closed steady. De
tails of the day’s trading on- the lead
ing exchanges follow:
COTTON.
Spot cotton closed quiet and un
changed, with sales by factors of 118.
The receipts Were 2,136 against 1,686
last year. The demand was fair. Spot
buyers reported difficulty In buying
for less than full quotations, which
were invariably asked. In the f. o.
b. market the demand was moderate,
with basis good middling about 10%c.
The country showed little desire to
sell. From the consuming centers no
large local demand was reflected .
The following were the' official spot
quotations at the close of the market

COTTON FUTURES.
New York, April I.—The cotton mar
ket opened easy at unchanged prices
to a decline of 6 points under disap
pointing Liverpool cables which, due
to show an advance of 4 to 5 points,
were but 2 to 3 points higher at the
time of the New York opening. Fol
lowing the initial decline, however, the
market rallied 2 to 5 points as a result
of covering based on the lighter re
ceipts estimated for the day and the
light estimate for to-morrow’s arrivals
at Houston. But as prices reached the
closing level of yesterday there was
considerable liquidation and the mar
ket hung steadily for a time, then
shortly after midday broke sharply on
the government ginners’ report. This
report figured as an influence in both
yesterday’s market and In the early
market to-day, the trade generally
looking forward to a bullish state
ment. The actual figures, however,
proved disappointing as they pointed to
a commercial crop of 11,078.882 bales or
10,827,168 bales of 500 pounds. Owing
to previous inaccuracies natural * to
such an estimate the trade were in
clined to make an allowance of a vary
ing amount for underestimates and the
figures were accordingly given a very
bearish interpretation. The imme
diate effect on the market was a break
of from 7to 9 and this attracting
fresh pressure from the break was la
ter increased to a matter of 10@17
points below the finals of yesterday.
But the port receipts for the day were
light, being only 8,817 bales, against
13,485 last year, and the exports
heavy footing up 30,178 hales. This
feature, in connection with uncertainty
as to the view Liverpool would take of
the crop report, caused some uneasi
ness among the shorts and the market
recovered a few points of its loss, clos
ing steady at a net decline of 9@15
points, which was a little more than
sufficient to offset the net gain of yes
terday. Total sales futures estimated
300,000 bales.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.
New Orleans, April I.—ln the spot
cotton market the trading done was of
the imperative order character, fac
tors refusing to sell unless full board
prices were obtained. Quotations un
chan god.
In the future market to-day the
bulls met with a bitter disappoint
ment. The Census Bureau report on
the cotton production of 1902 Instead
of being bullish as had been expected
was for a time generally regarded as
bearish and prices a few moments aft
er the report had been read dropped
10 to 15 points on very light trading.
Previous to the reading of the census
report prices were at a decline on real
izing. The board at the close showed
net losses of 13 to 17 points on old and
10 points on the new crop months.

Hubbard Bros. A Co.’s Cotton Letter.
New York, April I.—The market
opened with sales of May at 9.76 c, 8.77
@8.78c; closed 9.67 c, and after selling at
9.65@9.66c ruled at 9.67 c at 1 p. m. The
census report from the ginners has had
the effects of adding to the growing
feeling that the crop had been under
estimated. On its publication the mar
ket broke some 10 points with the long
interets selling heavily. A slight rally
occurred without bringing in any out
side buying, as the receipts at the in
terior towns are double those of last
season. Liverpool sent large selling
orders which supplied the short inter
est, remaining uncovered after the ad
vance of yesterday, and showing how
they looked at the report. The mar
ket has the largest long interest, as
the cotton is now hedged there and
not here. The effects will be to encour
age the spinners to continue their
hand-to-mouth policy. The close was
steady with arbitrage brokers buying
to resell in Liverpool to-morrow on
the wide parity between the two mar
kets. The spot market quiet, 5
points decline. Sales for consumption,
30 bales; middling, 8.80 c; last year,
9.00 c. May closed, 5.67 c; last year,
8.81@8.82c.
DRY GOODS.
New York. April I.—Strike talk is
still the prominent feature of the
dry goods market, but no effect has
been noticeable upon market condi
tions beyond the strengthening of sell
ers opinions regarding a few lines of
staple cottons. Buyers are unwilling
to operate except when there is ur
gent necessity for the goods.

Wednesday, April 1.
SPIRITS— The turpentine market
opened officially posted as “nothing do
ing,” and closed unchanged, with no
sales. The bottom appeared to be out
of the demand, notwithstanding the
small receipts. The trade are more
interested in the future now than for
some time past. Few believe that a
bracer sufficient to enable the market
to resist declines is likely to develop.
While the movement is beginning to
show an increase the probable volume
financial.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, April I.—The stock mar
ket dropped back Into an apathetic
condition to-day and moved in an ex
tremely sluggish and halting manner
throughout the day. The high money
rate to-day was evidently the deter
rent influence on speculation. When
the call money market was seen to be
quite as stiff as yesterday there was
some selling of stocks by yesterday's
buyers in consequence.
The whole market was strictly pro
fessional. The .day’s developments
were not important and seemed of
little influence. The sub-treasury
statement, as expected, showed that
the payment of yesterday’s draft for
relief purposes in the Philippines re
sulting in making good to the money
market the previous sub-treasury drain
since Friday. Some further benefit
to the money market is expected from
the payment of government interest.
There is still confidence that the move-'
ment of money in the immediate fu
ture will be to the advantage of New
York in the way of release of funds
accumulated for dividends and Inter
est. A seasonable return flow of money
from interior points is also expected.
But there was perceptible to-d*ay in
the speculative sentiment a recur
rence of the fear that heavy corporate
requirements are waiting to absorb
any Increase in credit resources. The
disturbance in the loan market to
day was attributed to the payment of
subscriptions for Chicago and North
western’s new stock. In the time
money market lenders show a disposi
tion to restrict their loans to within the
six months period, the obvious purpose
being to have the maturities come
when the fall demand from the inte
rior for funds begins to withdraw mon
ey from New York again.
The hearing to-day of the proceed
ings to make permanent the injunc
tion against the voting of Union Pacific
holding of Southern Pacific stock,
caused a feeling of suspense and a
desire to await the decision. There
was some renewed heavy selling of
Pennsylvania. The dissolution of the
injunction against the W’abash engin
eers strike as the cause of some liqui
dation in the Wabashes. Sugar suf
fered from the reduction in the price
of refined grades to meet yesterday's
cut by competitors. There was a vio
lent and unexplained break In Color
ado Fuel with an effective I'ally. A
further decline in discount rates was
regarded with satisfaction. Heavy
exports of grain made a good supply
in the exchange market and a sharp
break in the cotton market it w*as
hoped would increase the foreign de
mand. The market closed dull and
irregular.
Bonds were dull and irregular. Total
sales par value, $1,860,000. United
States new 4's reg. declined % per cent,
on the last call.
Total titles of stocks were 469,700
shares, including. Atchison, 22,400;
Baltimore and Ohio, 17,200; Canada
Pacific, 7,500; Erie, 14,400; Union Pa
