Today's NewYork
Stock Market
NEW YORK, May 1. Cotton ope
to-day well above yesterday's closing
prices, probably because of the ad
vance in Liverpool. Leal short* also
vered.
Plenty of selling followed the rally,
and prices eased somewhat, though not
to the cloning levels of Wednesday.
News was bearish. The forecast indi
cated fair and wanner weather over
most of the belt, with rains where
needed In the Southwest. The Journal
of Commerce ami ’Miss (Hies both Is
sued estimates showing a slight in-
urease in acreage over Inst year, heav
ier use of fertilizers, and planting ahead
of last season. The only unfavorable
feature of their estimates was the state
men I that a cold spring has left the
ground in bud shape. Some replanting
will be necessary, especially in the
astern belt.
Liverpool closed firm, both old arm
new crop months % to 10 points up; the
near months strongest; July-August was
weakest, probably on straddle sales.
Liverpool and Southern houses bought
in the forenoon.
The talent refused to construe the
news as other than bullish, despite the
increased acreage and early planting,
ml the market gained considerable
trength l/Ue In the session, closing at
,gh levels for several positions.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 1.—There was
a sharp upturn in the Liverpool market
this morning, futures being as much as
9Va higher, spot prices 2 up, sales 10.-
000 bales. Various Influences con
tributed to the change; the feeling was
in favor of a reaction; the report of
The Journal of Commerce giving in its
preliminary forecast only 2.8 per cent in
crease in acreage was construed as bull
ish; Miss Giles makes the Increase a 7
)•• !• cent, a bullish circular by Mr. Price;
bullish weather prospects and more op
timistic views from Paris or, the po
litical situation.
First trades here were at an advance
of 14 to 17 points, which met with heavy
selling, causing a depression of 10 points.
As soon as this selling was accommo-
u.itf'i the market again showed a
stronger tore and a tendency toward
further reaction Much depends on the
political news of the next few days.
The In to.Tight for the week looks
up .n<: d,000 bales, against 134,836 last
year.

T. A. McD.—Lorillard 5 per cent
bonds, selling about 98 and earning
eight to ten times more than the in
terest requirements, offer inducements
to business men drawing 4 per cent
on savings* bank deposits. The Beth-
Ste< Company’s first and re
funding 5s, selling around 84, are a
fairly good bond. ,Baltimore & Ohio
Convertible 4 i-2s, selling at 92 1-2,
are recommended.
\V. M. \V.—It is generally conceded
by judges of markets and values that
nii prolonged upward movement in
stocks can be looked for until the
bond market develops a firmer un
dertone. With standard bonds slowly
but steadily declipg and new issues
coming upon the market in large vol
ume. there Is little Inducement for
the public to buy common stocks, ex
cept a speculative venture. There
are exceptions to this, as to all rules.
The main point, however, lies in the
fact that active and broad speculative
movements in the stock market do
not precede a firm bond market. With
many indications of a high rate for
funds in the fall, a sustained bul 1
movement in stocks is scarcely looked
for at this writing.
