NEW YORK SPECIAL.
Stocks Had Another Buoyant and
Higher Market In Which
Many Lines Figure.
ARED.LETTER DAY IN BONDS
Cotton Closed Heavy in Spite cf the Settle-
ment of the China-Japan Affair—Heavy
Texas and Pacific Increase-
New York. May 7.-(Speclal.)-Stocks hid
another buoyant and higher market. The
most prominent were Burlington, St. Paul,
Rock Inland, Northwest. Missouri Pacific,
Big Four, Louisville, Pacific Mail, New
Kngland. Telegraph, Union Pacific and
Chesapeake, advances ranging from 34 to
2l»i per cent. Chesapeake was helped by
London capitalists and a'eo 'by an order
from the New -Haven and Hartford road
for 150,000 ton®* of coal, J. H. Morgan per-
sonally soliciting the order by cable. A
feature of the market is 'but a few of the
stocks purchased of late outside of cover-
ing have been realised upon. They do not
come on the market at higher llgures, and
the beMef is that they have been bought up
by very wealthy Injuns and locked up.
They muet, however, come on the market
some day. A good deal of the buying to-
day was thought to 'be traced to J. H. Mor-
gan & Co.—in fact, to a certain extent, 4t
looked very much »ike their market. The
close was iinm near the top. The coalers
were about the only neglected stocks.
"Sam" -Sloan told me this afternoon that
"Heading would choke anyone that got
possession of it."
Bonds had a red letter day. They were
very active and dearer. IFort Worths, 72;
Aransas Pass, 62Vs»I Atchison foura, 73; sec-
onds, 23H; half-million Texas and Pacific
firsts and -seconds at 90% and 28V*. It 69
said that the Aransas Pass management
wants Alex Brown & Sons of 'Baltimore to
take the work, through a local company, of
providing deep water at the pa«ss.
Bar silver had only light offerings. Sales,
75,000 ounces at 66a4o; London, 30 7-lCd.
Sterling dull. -Sixties $4.87% and commis-
sion. Short sold at $4.S8>/6; cables at about
$4.88?4; documents, $4.86%<&4.87; acceptances,
$4.S7Vi. In the afternoon $4.88^ was told for
50.000 pounds short.
Liverpool came better on arrivals but her
spot sales were disappointing and clearly
reflected a dull trade dn the manufacturing
districts. Indeed, the direct Manchester
cables were easy in tone, albeit the Japan-
China business appeared about settled. The
Guardian comforts spinners -with the reflec-
tion that late American crops have some
time proved quite large ones. Our market
in early dealings fell 6.61c August basis, or
6 'below last evening, from which there was
a recovery to 6.6G1; and then a further set-
back at the clois* to 6.62c, wcth a heavy
feeling. The market was very dull and
purely local, with a disposition to await the
bureau.
'Earnings of the Texas and (Pacific for
foUr (months, ending April, increased $150,-
000.
W. L. Crawford. J. N. Wilkerson, Dallas;
W. Parr, Mis« Parr, R. M\ 'Miller and wife,
Galveston, and A. L. Galatti, Houston, are
here.
THE POST'S LONDON CABLE.
New York, May 7.—The Evening Post's
London cablegram says: The stock markets
were buoyant to-day, although the settle-
ment begins to-morrow. The yielding by
Japan to Russia's desires and the improved
political outlook were the main factors,
'he tone hero is very bullish. American
railroad bonds which have been steadily
absorbed for some time past are now
bought with some eagerness, and brokers
get many inquiries from the public con-
cerning ordinary stocks. The general rise
throughout was chiefly on continental buy-
ing. The closing was at about the best, ex-
cept for Canadian Pacific, which, after
touching 55, relapsed to 53%. Mexican rail-
road shares and "bonds were strong with
silver. South Americans were firm, except
Brazils, which have fallen on the continued
decline in exchange. The trade returns for
April, making due allowance for Easter
holidays, practically show 110 movement
either way. There is a rumor here that
the Bank of England has just invested In
a big line of New York city bonds. This I
can not confirm.
10 p«=r cent; atatements that in many parts
of Texas crop preparation~ are late and
the outlook favorable; a rise in silver, an
advance at Fall River. >ome buying .by the
German houses her«* for short account,
more or less southern and European buy-
ing. and also some purchases by outsiders.
Not that the speculation was large-to-day
—in fact, it was small—operator are disin-
clined just now to ventur»- heavily on
either side of the niarkei. Some w;»:H to
s>e the q'it\ tion oi ih»- JajMn.se treaty
settled uit»1 out of the way. or else they
pr« f-T to await oth» r de\. i.»pntents in re-
gard to the matter. Others lay less stress
on 1 h«' subj«.but wish to kn »\v what the
gist of the bureau reporr * ;il be on May
K Bui in whatever light this or that set
of operators may r»*ganl th<- market, one
fact i.* indisputable that thi> afternoon
there was more dispot-ition t<> buy than to
sell, and aecor«Hngly the market recovered
the early decline and flosed steady at just
about where it stood at the tap of the gong
yesterday.
tThe News has not issued any crop re-
port for the present season as yet, and
wiil not until the situation is more certain*
ly fixed and information of a reliable and
satisfactory character is obtainable. There
was no foundation for the rumor above
alluded to.—News.)
NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
New York. May 7.—The close of the day
has developed more business than usual 011
Tuesday In the absence of mail orders of
any importance. A good number of buy-
ers were present and their Inquiries dis-
closed that the requirements were quite
largo. The great strength of the market
was thus accounted for.
GRAIN VISIBLE.
New York, May 7.-Special cable and tel-
egraphic dispatches to Brad-street's, com-
prising principal points of accumulation in
t'he United States, Canada and Europe, to-
gether with supplies alloat for Europe from
all nourceo, indicate the following changes
in available stocks la?t Saturday as com-
pare.I with the preceding Saturday:
Wheat—Available supply, United States
and Canada, east of the liocky mountains:
decrease, 4,283,000 bushels. United States,
Pacific coast: Decrease, 405,090 bus'hels. To-
tal decrease, botJh coatsta, 4.688.000 bushels.
Alb at for and »in Europe: increase, 584,000
bushels. Total decrease in world's available
su]-ply, 4,101,000 busheis.
•Corn-HAvaiiable supply. United States and

crease, 1,540,000 bushels.

Williams; 40,000 at Newport News; 35,000 at
New Orleans, and 33,000 at St. Joseph and
Pittsburg.

HUBBARD'S COTTON CIRCULAR.
New York, May 7.—Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s
cotton letter says: The home and foreign
markets are again playing at cross pur-
poses abroad. The demand for goods in
Manchester has fallen away to nominal
proportions, with the result of decreasing
the demand for cotton in Liverpool and
affecting the arrival market to such an ex-
tent that, despite the improvement at
home, the market is only a shade better
than last evening. Our market opened
lower, but still continues to show a strong
undertone and recovered the greater por-
tion of the decline before nocn. This re-
eoveyy is based upon the strength of the
New Orleans market, where the buyers
largely outnumber the sellers, and that
market has advanced closer to New York
than for many months. The government
predicts clear and warm weather for Tex-
as and showers for the remainder of the
cotton belt. This improvement in the
weather and the absence of any special de
mand was the cause of our market closing
at the lowest prices of the day. It was
noticeable that the larger commission
houses have been without orders and that
the business has been largely confined to
local transactions. We anticipate a fur-
ther decline in Liverpool to-morrow.
COTTON MOVEMENT.
The New York Commercial and Financial
Chronicle's review of cotton consumption
and overland, movement to May 1 makes
the amount coming into sight during the
first eight months 9,401,139 bales, an aggre-
gate of 2,300,588 bales more than for the
corresipond'lng period In 1893-94, and 406,789
bales more than the same time in 1892-93.
The gross overland movement for the
month of April was 119,087 bales, and the
net movement 37,281 bales. The gross over-
land movement for the eight months was
1,677,267 bales, and the net movement 1,075,-
872 bales.
The overland movement and net receipts
at United States ports for the eight, months
of this season ending May 1 was 9,285,139

COTTON AT NEW YClfcK.
The New York Herald of May 4 says, in
its cotton causerie:
A turn in -the wheel of fortune gave the
bears a chance to-day; but fortune is pro-
verbially tickle, and though prices declined
early In the day under the weight of de-
pressing Liverpool and Manchester ad-
vices, some favorable crop reports .from
the south andi contradictory d,lspafehes
about the Russo-Japan question, flhey
nevertheless turned about and recovered
the loss before the close, under the stimu-
lus of some bullish items as a report that
The Galveston News to-morrow will state
that the Texas acreage has been reduced
COMMERCIAL.
News Office, May 7.—The cotton markets
were quiet and dull to-day, with the fu-
ture markets in New York and New Or-
leans evidently fast lapsing back into the
hands of the room traders. The outside
element which recently boosted the mar-
kets seems to he gradually withdrawing
as opportunity for unloading presents it-
self. The opening at Liverpool to-day was
1 to 2 points higher, but b* lore the close
all but l-j» point of the advance had been
lost. New York and New Orleans both
opened at a decline, which was recovered
during the day, but near the close both
markets sold off again. New York closing
to 4 points below last evening and New-
Orleans closing at yesterday s figures ex-
•pt for May, June and July, which were 2,
4 and I point higher respectively. The re-
eipts at the ports thus far for this week
exceed receipts of the entire week for the
corresponding week last year.
The spot markets were all
change in quotations.
The Liverpool spot market opened with
a moderate demand and closed unchanged.
Sales. S000 bales, of which 7600 were Amer-
an and 500 to exporters and speculators.
Imports, 12,000 bales, of which Js700 were
American.
Futures at Liverpool opened steady with
a poor demand, were quiet but steady at
12.30 p. m. at an advance of l1.. to 2 points,
quiet but steady at 2 p. m. at a partial de-
cline of '•» point, later declined 1 point and
closed quiet but steady at point above
last evening.
Futures at New York opened steady at a
decline of 3 to 4 points, were quiet on the
second call at an advance of 1 to 3 points,
lull but steady at a further advance of 1
to 3 points on the third call, but closed
easy and 2 to 4 points under last evening.

Wash your Hair
and head with
Pearline, and
see
, how
forting it is. A Peadine
shampoo, even if you don'
take it very often, will keep
the scalp beautifully clean and
healthy. Don't use too much.
Not that there's any hann in
it, but it'll take too long to
wash the suds off, and you
might grumble about that.
Use your Pearline in the
bath. You'll feel invigorated
after it. It's very much like
a Turkish or a Russian bath
—except that it costs almost
nothing, and that you take it
at home, without any trouble
or fuss. JAMES PYLE, N. Y.
