PUT UP A PEG Oil IWO Floods and Foreign Advices Together Sustain Cotton, BETTER SPINNERS DEMAND TRADING ON STOGIv EXCHANGE ALMOST ST AON A NT. WHEAT HAD A GROGGY TUMBLE It Let Go 3 6-8 Gents- Cables Were Weak and Heavy ncreaso in “Visi ble'’--At Times There Was Al mast a Stampede. \ New York, April 7. —Tlie cotton mar ket advanced 2 (ijl\ points at the opening, early cables being quite as good ns look ed for, and the advices from the flooded districts being still bad. Speculation, however, failed to show up and local sell ing carried the market back to yester day’s closing before noon. For the rest of the session the market was narrow and featureless. Selling was checked by increased reports of indifferent holders of spot cotton and a good demand from ex porters and American spinners. During the early trading Liverpool parties bought considerable. The close was steady at 2(ears were dis inclined to force the issue, otherwise the decline would have been much greater. Futures in Liverpool market opened firm and advanced 1% points, but closed quiet and unchanged to % point advance. Spot cotton here and at the South was unchanged with light sales. The weath er was generally favorable. STOCKS. . The stock market showed no new tea tures of special impoi Lance to-day. The trading was entirely of a local profes sional character, and the fluctuations were on the wlnole narrow, with the mar ket showing no decided tendency in eith er direction. A bob-tail pool was organ ized to put up sugar, Jersey Central and Delaware & Hudson to 1 per cent. But aside from these changes, the fluc tuations on the whole were confined to narrow limits. It was a small, narrow, professional traders* market, and their operations were in the main devoted to 'efforts to scalp each other of the fluctua tions. Wheat developed continued extreme weakness to-day, and the trade became demoralized by the general selling. The break has been plainly foreshadowed in all our market letters, which have indi cated the continued absence of cash or export demand. The feature of heavy selling to-day was the continued liquida tion of the long interest in May con tracts. The Chicago market opened weak and % lower ihan Monday’s clos ing, but after hesitating, made a running break of 1 cent. At this range there was heavy covering of shorts and buying by Ikoldera puts, but this demand was soon supplied and prices soon afterwards made another break of 2 cents, with May selling down to 05% cents, on gener al heavy liquidation, execution of a top order and large lines long wheat coming on the market. Traders who bought heavily around 67*4 for a rally were forced to sell out, and their offerings led to a panicky market. A number of large concerns were caught heavily long of the market and they also had to let go. The market continued weak and demoralized up to the close. E. B. CUTHBERT & CO. j NEW YORK.

New York, April 7.—There were time* to-day when the trading on the stock ex ctange was absolutely stagnant'. Tfee THJfi NJCWfS AND OMHJKttVKIf, APRIL 8 1897. Irnnsneliions wore ulinosi wholly lacking in intercut, the volume being small and the fluctuations narrow. The total sales for the day numlierrd only 11 few thou sand shares over 100,(MMI and nearly half of these were of sugift’. Sales of all the granger stocks aggregated only about 10,(MM) shares and the coalers only about as many more, of which 10,000 were of New Jersey Central. Speculation in rail road shares has practically come to a standstill after the recent flurry due to the Tran*-Missouri decision and the fear of its effect. Those fears seem to have abated in large part, but prices have not recovered their former level and there is no demand manifest to carry values up ward. (Prices held fairly firm to-day, however, in spite of the dullness. The a |>- plieation for a rehearing of the Trans- Missouri ease had n strengthening effect though it was not taken very seriously (nto account. The new government fours rose % to 124% on light sales with out eliciting any large offers. Railway bonds participated in the semi stagnation that was evident in other de partments. The aggregate sales were on ly $787,000. Changes were trivial and firmness prevailed. BOND FLOTATIONS.
