HAYWARD, VICK & DAVIS' DAILY COTTON LETTER. New York, April 20.—J. S. Bache & Cdi: The cotton market haa been quite firm today; although the trading waa more or less dull. The strength In the market was due to the bullish week end statement and to the unfavorable weather condition! In the South. The Liverpool market waa strong and ad vanced above our dose of yesterday. There was a feeling among traders that there existed a fairly good sized short Interest In the May position, and the shorts seemed to betray anxtety toward obtaining the spot cotton In the South to deliver on their contracts. The Into sight figures for the week show a marked f.lllng off. This, how ever, has been expected for some time and should not be a decided bullish argument. Private reports from the South Indicate an easier situation In the spot marktt with the feeling that spinners' demands have been fully int uited and would not be In the market for some time. , M’CULLOUGH BROTHERS’ FRUIT AND PRODUCE LETTER. Atlanta, Ga., April 20.—Apples ar* very scarce, with an advance of 31 per barrel during the present week—In fact, It la a matter of almost Impossibility to secure even at the high prices anything liks a supply sufficient to meet require ments. Florida oranges are about through with for the present season. California stock scarce and selling at high prices. Grape fruit more plentiful, with values showing a downward tendency. Bananas continue to advance, wltn receipts short of requirements. Vegetables, generally speaking, In more liberal supply, with alt receipts meeting ready sale at fair prices. Berries very scarce during the week —In fact, nothing like a supply suflT- clent to meet the demands. Prices are naturally very much higher. The market well cleaned up an old Irish potatoes, also sweet potatoes, with a better range oP values prevailing. New Irish potatoes more plentiful, with the market showing some decline. Lemons are active and showing Indi cations of further advances right along as the season progresses. Receipts of live poultry llbefsl, with the market declining. Dressed poultry tlso in heavy supply, with values down. No change of note npplles In eggs at this time. The Indications are, however, a shade lower range of values . will prevail during next week.

New York. April 20.—J. S. Uache ft Co.; Americans In London this morn ing show only fractional gains and the market Is dull and still wants any on- tliuilasio. luili-r waiting ,.n Now Vnrk for tho cue. The drain on money this week to the Interior has been heavy owing to the maturing of time loans put our four or five months ago at 6 to 7 per cent. It now not being worth while at our low money rate to keep them here. If today's net cash gain Is reflected In the statement of the banks, there should be a gain of between two and three million surplus. The hardening bf time money means simply that the Interior and New York are coming to a parity. STOCKS REACHED DEAD LEVEL OF INACTIVE TRADING, New York. April 20.—The New York Evening Post says "Rather more quickly than seemed probable a week ago, the market has this week reached that dead level of Inactive trading and fractional fluctua tions whloh means that the readjust ment of values Is fairly complete and that the market Is In stable equi librium. Last •Thursday's market showed that such a stage of events had at length been reached. The rival forces of speculators, thimble-riggers and manipulators practically suspend ed operations. In the almost forgotten days of 1884, the army, so to speak, used on such occasions to go Into winter quarters. It would lie motion less for a month and It pursued a somewhat similar policy as lately aa the presidential year of 1800. But thq) Wall street of recent years has shown Itself too restless for anything of the sort; It would begin to stir uneasily after two or three days of such sus pended activity, and Indulge In violent maneuvers a fortnight after the "low day." This recent exceptance accounts for the general feeling prevalent aa to the financial pendency. A deende ■o ago very low money was apt to taken merely as the outward and visi ble sign that stock exchange specula tion waa abandoned for an Indefinite period. Nowadays, as In 1804, the in ference commonly drawn by the stock exchange from such a money market Is that the tools of speculation nro once more available. What Is 2 per cent cell mofiey for unless for uso In equip ping high finance for a new gambling venture? And whatever inay bo said as to the money market's longer future, the fAct of Increasing end greatly em phasized easn at the end of the present week was. unmistakable." THE COFFEE MARKET.

New York Commercial. • Special attention In being paid by secondary market factors to the matter of purchasing hosiery, underwear and general lines of knit goods for fall. The movement of prices In an upward di rection In these goods has caused un easiness among that division of the trade which haa confined their fall orders to date closely to samples. They nqw feel that they will be safe In cov ering at valuations. In a general way, the underpriced lines of last season, which buyers secured by holding back, are not available this year owing tp ths fact that no ons has built up specula tive stocks. Ths same Is true of cotton goods, silks, woolens and household lines. On all the above classes of mer chandise the business In hand for fall represents a safe aggregate. Price* are still working upward on fine yarn cottons but on the coarse construction cloths slightly easier terms on long contract are being named by Boulhern mills. One of the significant features of the market Is the reselling of mer chandise among second hands. Con verters are taking goods from Jobbers and the cuttlng-up trade Is also being forced to pay an advance to holders of fine yard-wide white goods and bleached fabric*. As a general proposi tion cotton goods converters are able to pay a higher price this year than heretofore In the history of the do mestic trade, owing to the scarcity of stocks In the hand* of retailers, the secondary market men, and the short supply of fine staple cotton. All these factor* combine to make prices on cot tons unusually strong for any delivery during the balance of this year. Minimum temperatures are for 12-bour period ending at a. m. this date.
