lethargy at the outset of today’s trading. Thera was a decided increase of activity in ail branches of the list at

higher levels. Mhlpplngs were foremost. Atlantic Gulf gaining 2% points, but eguipmente, tobaccos, oils and an array of specialties advanced from material fractions lo a point United States Steel. Union Pacific and coal shares were appreciably higher. Liberty bonds

eased slightly.

The early activity which gained some momentum from rumors on the exchange of a revolt in the armies of the centra] powers, halted after the first half hour, speculative Issues meanwhile extending their first gains. Bteels failed to keep pace with the general advance, however, and rails, except coalers, were extremely dull. Toward noon buying wag resumed on a moderate scale, marines, oils and American Car leading the movement. Liberty 3%s sold at MW/U W OO. first 4s at 98.f.2'896 70 and second 4s at 9S.48®98.70. Local utilities were fairly active Tn the early afternoon. Gains of 1% to 8 points were scored by Consoll- ' interborougb pfd., and the

bonds and Third Avenue djustment bonds. Elsewhere conditions were unchanged.

Specialties made further gains in the last hour, but standard shares. Including steels, reacted fractionally. The closing was firm. Liberty 3%» sold at 98.06 to 90, first 4s at 96.28 to 90.70 and

The say thfey know of m> particular reason why this lake is not producing. The fishers have plenty of nets out So far. a few herring are the only offerings. The rivers throughout the middle west are producing about a normal quantity of sunflsh. crappiea. buffalo and carp. The official embargo on shipments from New England has practically stripped the local market of lobsters, smelts and scallops. Oysters of good quality are itill coming from the Chesapeake bay region but dealers say the local demand has fallen off rapidly since the warmer weather set In.

BOSTON, April 4.-N!ne thoueand bales of long staple Egyptian cotton, valued at about $4,500,000 or nearly $1 a pound, was being unloaded here today for delivery to New England importers. It was the second large shipment to reach this port since July. The ship also brought 220 tons of gum. which put the total value of the cargo well above $6,000,000. Dealers said the cotton cost considerably more than the last pievious shipment because of the steadily advancing prices and higher rates for ship space and insurance.

HIGH MARKS FOR COTTON

On Advices of Rain Southwest and Continued Good Trade Buying. NEW YORK, April 4.-Th« cotton market showed renewed strength this morning. OJd longs were credited with taking profits freely, which caused some Irregularity right after an opening advance of 15 to 26 points, but the offering* were quickly absorbed by continued trade buying and an active demand from houses with Wall street and weatern connections. July contract# sold up to 33.50c and October to 32.12c, making new high record* for the season and net advance* of 28 to 40 points. Firm cables, the absence of rain in the southwest and the bullish character of spot and trade advices were the factor* on the advance. A prominent Alabama firm estimates that the acreage over the belt wili show an average increase of from 8 to 12 per cent, with the greatest increases in boll weevil sections. There was enough realizing on favorable crop conditions or selling at the new high level of prices to cause some Irregularity later in the morning, but offering* made little impression on the maraet and prices reached still higher levels shortly after midday with May selling at 34.30c; July at 83.63c. rod October at 32.29 or 45 to 53 points net higher. Offerings increased sufficiently to check the advance around 33.75o for July and 32.37c for October or 53 to 65 points net higher. There was no change in the character of the spot news, however, and prices held within a few points of the "beat during the middle of the afternoon. New York Cotton Future*.

Thomson & McKinnon Grain Letter. -April 4Corn—Comparatively light receipts of corn, together with expectations of still smaller movement, gave cash comstronger tone. Values 6c to 10c, with an occasional car 15c to 20c higher. Western markets displayed the same condition, Peoria being 5c to 25c higher. Movement expected to be smaller for the reason that farmers are too busy to haul to market and cars are again becoming scarce, there being numerous complaints from widespread territory to this effect. The May delivery was in demand from some of the larger commission houses. Oats—Exporters were again bidding for oats at the highest premium on the crop and seaboard houses were buyers of the May delivery. This condition was offset by the most favorable weather over the belt, further rains being predicted in the southwest, and expectation of an increase in the acreage. Tile trade at large is inclined to give more attention to the probable size of country reserves, the new crop prospect and the approach of spring weather. For this reason, the demand for the deferred deliveries is limited almost entirely to cash handlers. This market represents 100,000 sold for export and it Is thought that more was done at outside points. Provisions—Values of hog products were in sympathy with the hog market which was slow and weak. There was more or less changing from May holdings to July because of the heavy accumulations at western points.

Strong tone in stocks, but no volume to the trade. It is hard to imagine greater dullness than we are experiencing right now, without complete stoppage of business. For this reason I think you will agree with me we are realizing the worst now, and that any change must be toward Improvement. Liberty loan preparations indicate the coming loan will go through with a whoop and a hurrah. By that time it may be on the cards that we will get some inspiring news from the seat of war. What we have had to date is gratifying, but it lacks the necessary flavor of pep and zest to promote Jubilation. Meanwhile, we can expect a trading market. _ Cash demand is th> nearby the time being, the controlling factor in oats, but a “spot” situation never has been a reliable Index to / utur ^.
