touched Brandon, Sharp's first
pitcher, for three runs In the first
inning. "Bob" Howard, well known
In Charlotte as star pitcher on Bar

scattered. Onlv one run was made
off Howard's delivery. The game was
rather Interesting and exciting at
times. Thompson pitched good ball
for Carolina, but got rather poor

accurate fielding Impossible. The
game was. devoid of sensational

C. P. Ellis A Co.'s Cotton Letter.
Special to The Observer.
New Orleans, March 21. The action of
Liverpool to-dny was a stuperfylng sur-
orlse. especially to those who aggres
slvely attacked the market following the
publication of the census flirures yester
day. Cables are singularly unanimous In
expressing optimistic views, especially
referring to the continued activity of
trade conditions, and the necessity for
further buying by spinners to meet cur
rent requirements. v
American markets ruled firm from
start to finish. Efforts to undermine
prices were not lacking at intervals dur
ing the session, but the absorption of
spring and summer months proved more
than equal to tne tasK or supporting
prices, and closing figures are within a
few nolnts of the best of the day.
Meanwhile, the prominent Wall Street
operator has been actively circulating
predictions of further sharp advance in
flie near future, and Is credited with
having bought an enormous quantity of
May contracts at New York, this de
mand dlrectely resulting in a narrowing
of differences between May and July and
bringing about talk of a possible squeeze
In the former. We question ir sucti an
attempt would meet with success In fact
it would only result In the attraction of
undesirable cotton rrom the South, which
would tlnd this medium the most lucra
tive one for Its disposition. Naturally,
there has been a tendency to question
the sincerity of the expressions ancW
present movements of the erstwhile bear
lender, but aside from this we find a well
grounded conviction in certain quarters
that an enormous short Interest exists
In both the old nnd the new crop which,
it in exported, will be forced to eventual
ly seek cover, should the trade demand
continue on its prevailing scale of activ
ity. So far, however, snots have not
fully sympathised with the advance In
contracts, a discrepancy that suggests
the wisdom of .securing profits on recent
purchases, in the event of a further Im
provement In the near future, as It Is
quite likely that opportunities will fre
quently offer to replace such Interests
advantageously, especially if a protfnet
ed siell of propitious weather Is to fol
low the recent climatic disturbance.
