NEW YORK SPECIAL
The Shortness of the Day Prevented
Figures From Going
Higher.
RAIN IN TEXAS OR NO RAIN
Is the Pivot Upon Which the Cotton Market
of the World Is Turned Just
at Present.
New York, April 20.—(Special.)—The mar-
ket took cure of itself and closed strong
at VaGiIM advance. Had it been an all day
session still higher figures would have
been current. It is true the dealings are
largely professional, but the strength is
there all the same, and the public will no
doubt come in in time. Investors arc
already in and are likely to buy heavier
, next wfcek, St. Paul, Rock Island, Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas preferred and
Northwest were special favorites. Missouri,
Kansas and Texas preferred is up 5 per
cent on the week, largely on Rockefeller
and European buying. There was talk
against the Texas and Pacific because of
the unfavorable cotton crop outlook in that
state; seconds sold at 20%. Pullman was
at 164Vi* bid. It declared the usual 3 per
cent dividend and professed to have $5,000,-
000 cash assets. Just at the close a cable
order was received for 750,000 bushels of
July wheat, and these orders are likely to
increase.
Bonds steady to firmer. Atchison fours,
fo%; seconds, -'2%; Houston and Texas Cen-
tral fours, 05; Galveston and San Antonio
Mexicans, 92V4; Missouri, Kansas and Texas
I'oyrs^Sift; seconds, 58@)59%.
"Silver quie(; around 66'/jc; certificates
ranged from 0O%c to bid and asked;
London, 30 5-lfld.
Sterling inactive and dead; rates nom-
inally as yesterday. Experts are making
a revaluation of the Texas railways, but
whether for the purpose of arranging a
populistic basis upon which a new rate
schedule can be enforced or merely for
taxation purposes is not clear.
The cotton key is rain in Texas, and rain
or no rain is made to turn the market. But
there was disappointment in the bull camp
to-day, for it didn't rain, and the Liver-
pool report was so fine as to be suggestive
of manipulation, yet there were more sell-
ers than buyers. The opening was well
enough, 10 points advance, and there was
further buying lor long and short account,
but the tumbling out of cotton when Au-
gust reached 0.94c wan more than the bull
market could stand, and the price was
knocked bark to 0.84c, where it closed
easy. Rut it will rise again.
Hides strong; supplies continue light;
city slaughters firmer.
Wool, steady to firm, and pretty free
consumption appears assured, but some
contend that there is scarcely any margin
of profit. Sales, 30,000 pounds Texas, 9@
31c. Boston market quiet, steady to firm.
Mills well employed, and little doubt but
that the season's want of raw material
will foot up a good average, notwithstand-
ing large supplies of dress woolens for fall
were ordered from Europe. Sales 20,000
pounds Texas, private.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
New York, April 20.—With the closing
clay of the week and succeeding very large
sales of brown and bleached cottons, wide
sheetings, cotton flannels and blankets,
colored cotton staple ginghams, kid cam-
brics, printing cloths and staple prints, the
market is very strong, very well sustained
by the course .of the cotton market. In
other departments there is an increasing
inquiry for autumn and silk dress goods,
and underwear shows more doing. Print-
vug cloths quiet but firm at 2%c; sales for
the week over 300,000 pieces.
HUBBARD'S COTTON LETTER.
New York, April 20.—Hubbard Bros. &
Co.'s cotton letter says: The statistical po-
sition, as made up by this morning's
Ohronlclei is as follows:

Tiie feature of the market to-day was
the disposition on the part of the trade
to liquidate their interest in the market
at the advance, which was brought at the
opening by the improvement in Liverpool,
it was evident at the opening that the
marked was well supplied with cotton and
thai the buying wan not of the same class
as the sellers. Our advices from Liverpool
are rhat their market was sustained by
reason of the bad crop accounts from
Twvas and a further Improvement abroad
Is likely unless the accounts become decid-
edly better, but it would seem that this
market has already discounted any im-
provement, and under the realizations be-
fore mentioned ^ closed easy at 2 to 3
points above last evening.
LONDON GRAIN REVIEW.
London, April 20.—The weather during the
week has 'been favorable and farm work
lias progressed. The area of ground so far
for oats is unusually large. The market
for wheat 'has been firmer and the demand
•better. There is a strong tendency due to
•the rl'se In prices in America. The conti
nent was a purchaser, but 'the trade was
•mainly from the lint.ted Kingdom. The
•tune to-day was quieter but the market
wad firm. The parcels trade has been mod
erate. Red winter wheat, April delivery
was quoted at 22s9d; spot business steady.
Flour was 0d up with more inquiry for good
brands, in London the stock of flour is
low. Maize was firmer and quiet. /Both
spot and parcels were quiet. Barley and
wats were firm.

WEEKLY UK VIEW.
News Office, (April 20.—The general course
of the cotton markets was again upward
during the we. 1;. After the holidays of
Friday and Saturday of 1 Ji-t week the New
York market for Iulures opened 7 to 12
points hlguer and closed with a net gain
over the Thursday previous of 21 to 23

clined arid closed 1 to •! poin'ts under Mon-
day. New Orleans aii-to opened higher, 'but
declined from the be-st figures of the day,
closing 1 to II points above the evening pre-
vious. On Wednesday Liverpool opened af-
ter an intermission from the Thursday pre-
vious, showing un advance of 4l/j to 5
points, and closing i!1^. to 7 points up from
Thursday. New York, under the influence
of the advance at Liverpool, made a net
gain of 10 to li> points over the evening
previous, and New Orleans closed lo to 15
points higher. On Thursday Liverpool
opened higher and advanced, but .iter lost
most of the improvement, closing '•/" 1 point

the decline ai Liverpool duping the later
hours of the evening, opened easy aind
closed 8 to 11 points under the previous
evening, and New Orleans closed at a net
Ios,* from the day previous of 10 to 12 points.
On Friday Liverpool opened higher, lost
the advance early in the afternoon, ad-
vanced after - >'ulock and closed 2 points
above ifhe previous evening. New York

to 14!a polr., -, t i New York of 32 .to 37
points, and at New Oi'leatirj of 3L to 34
points.
T'iic spot markhave all advanced dur-
ing the week, and the advances made with
perhaps one or two exceptions have beep
retained, even on Hays when there were ma-
terial declines in futures. As compared with
Thursday of £a- r w< ek, Liverpool shows an
advance of 3-1CT; Houston^ 'fc; (le.lveston,

and Wilmington, v; New York, Boston,
St. Louis and N o ' ik. 7- 16c; Baltimore and
Philadelphia, !.• , and Augusta, 9-Jfle.
The movement of cotton at the ports
end interior towes has shown a material
falling off during the week, and the
amount coming into sight for the week
ending yesterday was but a few hundred
bahs more than for the same week last
year. The visible supply, however, makes
a less favorable showing than last week,
the decrease for the week being 43.694 bales
against a decrease for the corresponding
week last yi-ar of C1,'T7 bales, while the
excess of visible cotton Over the same
time last year is now 337.3H7 bales, against
319,324 bales lust we. k. This may be ac-
counted lot in part by a larger Fust India
movement, the re eipts at Bombay for the
week ending; last Thursday reaching 70,000
bales. The sales at Liverpool continue
large, reaching 53,000 bales for the week
ending Thursday evening last, though the
exchange there was closed four days dur-
ing tne wt ek. The sales, as reported yes-
terday, were 15,009 bales, and to-day they
reached 12,0M bales.
The general reports as to the crop being
planted at present are not favorable to a
large yield. The question of a« reage still
occupies much attention, but the weather
and the prospective yield of what is being
planted is of more interest than the
acreage jus! at present. The season all
< ver tl"' south is said lo be two or three
weeks late, and in some sections is re-
ported later than cv'er before known. A
great deal of attention is being attracted
especially to the Texas crop, and the bulls
and bears of New York and ejsevvhere are
making rains and creating drouths in the
Lone Star state at their own sweet wills,
irrespective of what I'ncle Sam or the pro-
fessional rainmakers may be doing.
One feature of the market is becoming
conspicuous, and that is thai the present
advance has shifted from one of sentiment
to one of a belief in a reduced crop the
coming season. When the advance first
begap the near months show< >1 much more
strength than the aistftnt ones. At the
present time, contrary to the usual course
of prices ui futures, September and later
months are selling at an advance over the
summer months. Usually there is a de-
cided drop during the spring and summer
in quotations for future,; in months later
ihan August, as compared with that
month.
Outside of cotton, many other products
are showing advances, and t'-erc is a gen-
eral belief that better prices for farm
products will rule for some lime to come.
The extreme depression of last fall and
white) in nearly all staple articles is be-
iifved to be a thing of the past. In the
east industries are starting up and fre-
quent notices appear of ctlvances in wages
of workers in different industries, in many
casts these advances being voluntarily
made by employers. In short, the outlook
for business -and Industry at tho present
time is much better than it was a few
weeks back.
Locally, there is little ohange to note in
trade. Some few branches report a mod-
erate Improvement, while others are still
inactive. Generally speaking, however,
business men are in good shape and antici-
pate a decided improvement in trade after
the harvest for the present year begins.

PRODUCE.
Cliicago, 111., April 20. Enormous cover-
ings by Pnrdridge, and other shorts sent
wheat up at a diz/.y gait again to-day. The
market gained about 2c per bushel since
the t lose yesterday, and on the curb after
the (dose of the session there was a strug-
gle for calls for Monday on May wheat at
from 6U4c to 63c.
Corn had a somewhat similar experience
with wheat, and rose under it lr,ic per
bushel, and oats gained Vtc.
Provisions ruled dull but firm and made
moderate gains.
Wheat opened with surprising strength.
The fact that Pardrldge had covered be-
tween 4,000,000 and 5,U0o,uo0 bushels of short
wheat yesterdfty did not prevent people in
the country from sitting up to send night
messages to buy wheat at the opening this
morning. The pit appeared to be full of
buying orders at the start, and instead of
sellers of May .at .WfcfliuK'.jC, as at the close
of yesterday's session, there wre buyers
at from 5v>^.e to r>S,r,Me. I'nder such condi-
tions of the local holdings an excited ad-
vance hi the -first half hour was unavoida-
ble. The demand for July was the most
urgent. It closed yesterday at 59'sc. ami
In less than twenty minutes it was bring-
ing Oo'-e, comparing that with 5r.ltc, which
it sold at on Monday last, showing ihat
the market is doing quite well. Pardridge.
«Sr L( aming, whose principal customer is
Ed Pardrlnge, bought freely of July. Flo-
senkranz, who stood out on his short wheat
through \ est splay's raBKle, came In this
morning, and some buying in oi' wheal oil
account of what they had bought of Pard-
ridge was done by two or three houses
with whom the speculator in question had
been slow in putting up margins. The local
speculative conditions were the chief fac-
tors in the market. The chief item is that
practical!\ all the a ailable wheat east of
the Rocky mountains is in Chicago, and
the daily accruing evidence that it is need-
ed both for export and home consumption.
With domestic and foreign millers in open
competition for it, the possibilities on that
account alone are not a pleasant contem-
plation for the shorts. The week's ex-
ports were 3,165,000 bushels from both
coasts, compared with 2.934,000 bushels on
the week before. Primary market receipts
for the day were 205,0UO bushels, against
210,000 bushels a year ago. Country millers
bought 21),000 bushels No. 2 red here at the
May price. The shrewdest traders in the
pit were woefully deceived in the course
of the market after its first lively advance
to 59-V for May and OO'/jc for July.
in the last twenty minutes of the session
the excitement twus redoubled, May rising
to 00c and July to 61c, and those were the
prices at the ( lose.
The corn market was also torn up by the
distracted condition-of the shorts. Captain
Phillips was the most prominent local
short, and commenced early In the day to
buy short corn. St. Louis followed later on
and competition, added to the limited offer-
ings, caused the market to become very
active, and tin? price shot up excitedly and
closed with May at 47' .' and July at 17'<c.
Oats developed considerable activity and
a heavy business was transacted. Prices
dosed at the high points of the day. The
advance was principally the result of a
scare among shorts and buying was heavy
by all. Wheat and corn showed such ex-
treme strength that they were very Influ-
ential in marking out the course of oats,
although the firmness was principally In-
dependent.
Provisions were firm but comparatively
steady. At the dose May pork had gained
5e and ribs 2Vi>c. Lard was practically un-
changed. The" hog receipts were 7000 head.
For next week 100,000 are expected. The
strength came from the light hog receipts
and the advance in grain. Estimates for
Monday: Wheat, 45 cars, corn, 220 cars;
oats. 280 cars; hogs, 20,000 head.
