(From Hayward ft Clark.)
New York, April 13.—J. 8. Bache ft Co.:
Liverpool was due 11 Vft higher on May, 18
higher on July and lft 4 higher on new crops.
Opened firm 11 to 18 higher. At W:15 p.
m. was steady at, a net advance of 114 to
13 point*. Spntk in moderate demand at

7,000: American, 6,700; apeculation and ex
port. 500; imports, 15,000, including 8,600
American. '
Porta estimated early, 19,000 against 23.-
000 last week and 18.00*0 last year,
Liverpool sends a full response to' our
26-point advance In July, but la 8 point*
sKy on fall months. No new feature to the
situation over night. Boston reports a bet
ter feeling in the yarn market, ralr weather
la predicted for Texas. It la generally con
Springs heavy buyer of July. Hopkins,
Dwight. Hentx, Freeman, Liverpool and
houses with Western connections heavy buy
ers. Parrott. Wlggifl. Dick Brothers. Dave
Miller sold March. Local traders sold, but
ran to cover on the Springs buying.
Carpenter, Bagrnt ft Co.: From our view
point the situation continues bullish, and
with trade reports more encouraging, spot
markets stranger and higher, Texas still suf
fering for rains and a rreat majority of the
trade taking a more bullish view of the situ
ation, it look* aa if price* would have to go
much higher, tho, of course, it i» natural to
expect a reaction after such a continuous ad
vance on liquidation which conservatism
would prompt eo that operators would be in
a position to take advantage of any setback.
The new crop !■ from three to four weeks
lata, and it la fast passing a date when It
cen recuperate from this late and poor start.
We look for very mueh higher price* will-
