Slightly Better.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The cotton market
opened firmer at an advance of 4 to It
points In response to better cables than had
Ik'ou expected uttd on the news of severe
storms In the South. Trading was only
moderately active and after the start the
list displayed a little Irregularity, but ag-
At the opening and for half an hour
afterward futures in New York acted
as tho prices would show a good ad
vance as a result of the short session.
Liverpool was encouraging In that It
was better than due, which was reflect
ed In initial prices showing gains of
some 4 to 11 points, to which was add
ed. during the first half hour 1 to 8
points additional. Around the high
points week-end evening up transac
tions caused an Irregular decline, the
near months closing unchanged, while
December and January were 2 and 1
points higher, respectively.
It Is believed the cyclone of Friday
night has done considerable damage in
sections where cotton was up, but it
is as yet too early to estimate the In
jury resulting from the torrential rains
and high winds.

The week-end figures are again of a

proportion than last year. The weather
news Is bad. severe storms entailing the
loss of life anil property being reported
from eight slates. Full particulars can
not as yet be had, as most wires are
prostrated. The Journal of Commerce
publishes their first acreage and seed
ing report for Alabama and Georgia
this morning. Georgia Is reported ten
days to two weeks late, with 35 percent
of the crop seeded, against 46 per cent
last year, and the amount of fertlllxer
, used al|iut the same. Alabama la 10 to
115 days early, with about one-half of
“! the crop planted and a alight decrease
- In fertilizer noted. Tt' should seem
from these reports that some- auch
providential Interference as the storm!
noted above would have to Intervene to

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, April 25.—J. S. Bache &
Co.: Under the Influence of better ca
bles and storm news, cotton opened 4
to 11 points higher on local buying, but
lost It on room selling toward the
close, final prices being about the same
ns last night's figures. The decline for
the week Is 58 points on May and 41
points on the late months. Outside of
the storm the news was bearish.
World’s takings of American for the
week were 182,412 bales, against 225,-
361 last year. A conference of cotton
mill presidents has been called at Spar
tanburg, S. C.. to discuss the serious
situation that confronts the cloth man
ufacturers In upper part of South Car
olina. The Journal of Commerce re
ports the season two weeks late In
Georgia and one week ahead In Ala
bama and said area would be about
same as last year In Georgia and In
creased considerably In Alabama. We
see nothing to buy fotton on at present
except Its comparative cheapness.
NEW YORK, April 25.—Carpenter,
Baggot & Co.: The local market ad
vanced In the early trading on the bet
ter Liverpool and very heavy rains
throughout the belt accompanied by
cyclonic disturbances. In the late ses
sion. however, a wave of selling devel
oped which.apparently was unexplain
able and prices soon declined back to
the close of yesterday. Around 8.50
for July support was In evidence and
buying of the very best kind was In
dulged In. It looks as If the stronger
Interests had inode up their minds that
around this level the limit of decline
had been about reached. Reports con
tinue to come In of damage by rains
and wind storms In the Atlantlca. The
wires are In a bad condition and belated
reports bv mall will give further par
ticulars ns to the damage done to life
and property. We think It la rather
early Ilf the season to look for much
damage to the growing crop, and the
ring evidently took this view of It
which would account to a certain extent
for the selling In the late session.
CHRONICLE'S WEEKLY
REPORT ON WEATHER
NEW YORK„ April 2S—Our tele
graphic advices from the South Indi
cate that rain has been quite general
during the week and that In seme dis
tricts of Texas and a few points else
where the precipitation has beer, ex
cessive. In the remainder of the South
quite favorable conditions have pre
vailed as a rule, permitting very satis
factory progress to be made with farm
work.
TIPS FLASHED.
Frofii Wall Street
(From Hayward & Clark.)
NEW YORK, April 25.—J. S. Bache A
Co.: Americans In London are Irregu
lar, but mostly above parity for the
actives. Union Pacific la strongest and
up 1-2. Southern Pacific 2-8, Reading
1-4. Erie* steady. The estimates In
London are that Pennsylvania loan
subscriptions will be covered six times
over. The loan today commands pre
mium of 1 1-2 per cent.
The prospects for another good bank
statement are food. There aeems to be
no change in sentiment ae regards the
movement In prices. There Is still dif
ferences of opinion as to extent of short
Interest. Look for strong market with
same activity In leading stocks.
Town Topics: Indications point to a
continuance of bull manipulation
Prices may advance a few points fur
ther, but we have no hesitancy in stat
ing that the long, side of stocks at the
present level Is extremely dangerous.
The advance is unwarranted, based on
the outlook, which is very' unsatisfacto
ry both from a political and labor point
of view. Prospects for wheat and cot
ton are quite promising, but too much
Importance should not attach to these
facts for the time being, as weather
conditions may entirely upset present
calculations. It Is doubtful whether the
advance will bring about the desired
result In stimulating public demand
for the new aecurltiea In view of the
volume overhanging the market. Count-
Ing what has been announced this
month, the total of new leauea to the
first of June will likely be about a quar
ter of a billion dollars. Unsatisfactory
condition, will before long be reflected
In a general reduction In dividends a»
extreme depreeslon In trade, particu
larly In the Steel business, which will
1m seriously affected by fears of tariff
reform. Union Pacific I, widely tipped
for 140 next week, but we doubt wheth
er that figure will be reached. Senti
ment Is very’ bullish and so long as out.
alders show any Inclination to buy,
those who are manipulating prices may
hold them up to encourage buying.

JAMES McCREA & BRO.
52 N. 13th St., Philadelphia, Pa.
CHICAGO, April 26,-There wns a strong
nn<! higher opening in wheat. May selling
up 99%<\ or \c over yesterday, and July
and September l%c higher. There was a
rush to buy st the start, with most com-
mission houses having orders on that side;
also covering by the crowd who went home
short last night. Selling against the ups
checked the advance and caused a reaction
to 98c In May. Other months lost about
%0%e of the advance.
Sentiment In wheat was bullish—
quite so at the close and advances
were shown of 1 cent for May and on
down to 6-8c for deferred futures. Corn
was off l-803-8c on Increase offerings
