DAILY COTTON LETTER
New Orleans. April 1.—The principal
Change In conditions occurred In the weath
er. which Improved In two way*. Good
rains fell In nearly all the states and lower
temperature* checked too rapid develop
ment. Our market opened 2 to 4 lower
and showed a disposition to ease off fur-
ther on weather and unfavorable visible
supply statement, but manipulation In New
Toni continues Its grip on the markets and
checked free development. Correspondence
from abroad la not very pleasant reading.
Shipments are turning out badly In quality,
lower grades. Imported owing to their
cheapness, are found difficult to dispose of
and competition to get rhl of the stoek
Imported on this season's erratic basis for
grade and staple la on In earnest and re-
during profits generally, The spot market
Is quiet; there was hardly anything done
since Thursday, but a little demand la lu
evidence so far today.
New York, April l.-J. F. Bache & (o.:
The eotton market wna absolutely quiet
and without feature. Liverpool being rinsed
until tomorrow. There was some selling
early on the rains lu the Southwest, but
at *he same time the frost repoited lu tin-
central valley had a tendency to offset
the bearish effect of wet weather In the
Houth west. There was some business
done on the decline, ami supfmrtiug or
ders appeared. Attention Is now tolug cen
tered on weather conditions In the South.
Preparatory work Is ( progressing and.lt Is
fapected that a fair alstd crop will lie
Hunted. There la an ImpressionJim there
will not be a very material falling off in
fBe movement until the end of this mouth.
The cotton now coming Into sight hn* liven
•old long ago, but was held up by delays
In shipment. We would buy cottou around i
preant level* of turns only.

ing Near 11 Points.
New York, April 1.—On what evi
dently was a further demand from an
uneasy short interest, prices opened up
sharply In this morning's market. The
emphasis laid by Saturday’s $3,000,000
surplus reserve was the principal in
fluence In this movement. In an ad
vance of 1 to 2 points over Friday's
closing figures, however, the rise waa
checked by profit taking, and these
sales were In large enough volume for
the rest of the forenoon not only to
prevent a further advance, but to ef.
face a good, part of the early gains.
One or two Incidents of the trading
were not particularly relished by the
speculative element. One of these was
the action of Canadian Pacific, which,
after selling off nearly 6 points, at the
opening, was marked up 12 points In
the course of the first half hour. The
suggestion that something like a corner
existed In this stock was undoubtedly
calculated to disturb the equanimity of
the general market.
