New York. April 17.—J. H. Bnehe A- Co.:
Prices eased off in sympathy with the de
cline in Liverpool. The foreign markets did
not retqKHid this morning to our advance
yesterday afternoon. It was believed that
the strength of yesterda>'a markets was dm*
partly to manipulation for the purpose
of putting out snort sales In t.tveriMsd on
the bulge. Prices were easier here on re
ports of general rains In Texas. There is
uo doubt that moisture la needed In the
South, especially lu Texas.'at this time.
Complaint* are more or less prevalent that
*'e dry weather has Increased the l»o||
.*evi| pcst, and rains at this time will do
grant deal of good. There was very lit
tle Uo|ti|> la the market, and neither bears
nor bulla were very aggressive. We Ik*-
iteve the market a sale on all linnl spots,
for. although the erop has had a good
sturt. It has also suffered a set back, due
to the abnormally cold weather. The ad
vent of higher temperature* will be ex-
treiuelv beneficial. We would, therefore,
take a conservative |s>sItioti on the !*enr
side until there Is a material change lu
weathers conditions.
