Cotton opened at a decline from 6 to
14 cents on futures. The cables were
extremely disappointmg. which in the
main was responsible for the offset.
The trading in the most part was
slow, and operators proceeded very
cautiously.
The new* months w*ere bought by
outsiders, and longs were not disposed
to take chances.
Reports from the Southwest showed
that the demand for spot cotton was
better than usual. The receipts were
very light, only 28 bales being report
ed, as against 562 hales last year. The
receipts at all the ports also showed
a falling off, only 4,126 bales, as
against 9,664 hales being reported.
The local spot market slumped and
at the close showed a decline of 25
points. Practically little or nothing
was doing in the f. o. b. ring, which
was quoted quiet. Cotton, on a basis
of good middling, was posted at 14
cents.
The interior, however, was not in
clined to sell at this figure and offer
ings wore slight. The country thinks
that it should get better money for
Its cotton, and until futures show a
decided advance over the present fig
ures the f. o. b. market will be at a
standstill.

COTTON FUTURES.
New York, April 28.—The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
6@14 points. The losses were under
selling by room bears and liquidation
as a result of rather disappointing
Liverpool cables. Commission houses
had some orders of over night de
scription for the late months and spot
houses were said to be buying the
near positions. This Imparted a steady
undertone and shortly after the call
lirices rallied 3 or 4 points; but there
seemed little bull support and New
Orleans weakening, the local market
soon broke a net loss of 10@15 points
with early buyers dumping out their
cotton on reports of more favorable
weather.
But reports were circulating that
large exports from the New York
stock were pending; it was said that
Fall River spinners were buying from

local stocks and with gossip to the
effect that May notices to-morrow
would be stopped by exporters the
market gradually rallied and in the
early afternoon turned firm. May,
which had been down to 13.45 c, sold up
to 13.57 c, a net loss of only 2 points,
and July reaching 13.84 c on covering
of shorts was net 2 points higher,
while the late months did not fully
join in Ihe advance.
Estimates for to-morrow's receipts
at leading points were light, contribut
ing to the afternoon’s firmness. Trad
ing, however, was comparatively quiet
and the demand sufficiently limited so
that when room longs turned for
profits toward the close they sold the
market off a few points from the best.
Prices were finally steady at a net de

Sales were estimated at 300,000 bales.

I)F.MI;HE A HAMMOND
Sny That Weekly Statement To-day
I* Apt to Be BnlMah.
Savannah, Ga., April 28.—The weak
Liverpool cables this morning, which is
believed were worked from this side,
depressed the New York cotton mar
ket, causing a poor opening, but fluc
tuations have been narrow during the
day with a firm undertone, indicating
some uneasiness on part of the shorts.
Business is extremely light with a
disposition to await some new feature
before taking a decided stand, "bullish
or liearish.” Trade conditions will be
the influencing factor for the near fu
ture. Demand from spinners will be
closely watched as a cue to a strength
ening market. Warmer and more sea
sonable weather is much needed to
bring general improvement in trade.
The weekly statement to-morrow is
expected to be bullish.
Port receipts to-day are put at 4,200
bales. Spots In New York unchanged;
Southern spot %e decline to a %e up.
The passing of first “notice day” to
morrow will leave the market in a
more settled condition.
On New York close. Liverpool is due
to come 1 to 2 up.

(piile giiliMtantial.
Savannah, Ga., April 28.—Cotton
opened steady with first prices at a
decline of 6 to 14. The lower level
was in response to foreign advices,
which were less favorable than expect
ed. The weather map also showed a
better tendency, although close observ
ers figured that there was much room
for uncertainty in this connection.
Trade was slow, operations for most
part reflecting a disposition to proceed
cautiously. Longs were not disposed
to take chances, and on the better lev
els. they ran tor profits.
Replanting reports were received
from the Southwest, and the demand
for spot cotton was said to be quite
substantial. Some cotton was bought
for shipment to Europe. Receipts 5,-

last year. For the week estimated 50,-

J. H. PARKER A CO.’S
Cotton Letter lo Hayward, VIcL A
Com pany.
New York, April 28.—Although the
spot sales in Liverpool amounted to
8,000 bales at 2 points advance, ’here
was a distinct Tack of snap to the mar
ket and little appearance of perma
nent demand. The public was prepared
for a succession of days of good sales,
and the falling off at this early stage
has created a decided disappointment.
The return of warm weather over the
western half of the cotton belt was
not calculated to inspire bullish activi
ty in the crop months, and it must bo
confessed that the present sentiment is
in favor of lower prices not likely to
meet serious stage in the near future.
The official report for March shows
further deficiency in the rainfall, and
during the five months, from Nov. 1
to April 1, the deficiency to 7.40 inches,
a better idea of the difference may
be gathered from the fact that the
rainfall during that period in the pres
ent season was less than one-third that
of last yetar. There is a good deal of
talk here of large sales out of our local
stock to Eastern mills. We know of
one sale yesterday of 2,000, mainly
staines and tinges bought by Fall
River, and it is probable that about
4.000 bales were sold to-day.
We are rather inclined to look for
softer markets, as the result of more
seasonable crop weather in the South.
