NKW YORK. April ll.-Speculatlve liqui dation was very clearly at work again In today's stock mnrket It wns offset during tho enrly part of tho day by the nggrcsslve strength shown by a handful of stocks. The advance In these wns helped by violent manipulation, but It served to sustain the rest of tho market In faco of heavy selling until tho call money rate ran up again, when the pressure to sell beramo greater than the absorption power and the market turned , weak. Even the notably strong stocks lost all of their gains us n rule and the mnrket closed dull and nt about the lowest, and nt a considerable net loss, ex cept In a very few slocks. , The nrrlvnl In London of the New ork financier who has been the moving spirit In most of the recent vast llnanclnl projects In this country aroused some expectation that the tendon mnrket would reflect his presence there, nnd that action would bo tnken In some of the projects which hnvo been supposed to be waiting upon his counsel. The rumored Burlington deal was tlm most Important of these and the fail ure of official continuation of the very posltlvn assertions which have been current that this transaction wns completed had a great deal to do with the depression which permeated th" whole market as the day progressed. It Is ivldent from the per sistent disclaimers of the deal that an Im portant minority of the stockholders Is still opposed to It, oven If It bo true that actual control has passed to the. Hill-Morgan In terests. Tho wldcsprend belief In Impending con solidations of Importance In the copper world made Amalgamated Copper very ac tive nnd buoyant; but here again the fail ure of expected official conllrmntlou nroused some feeling of distrust among the specu lators, who hnd bought most largely and with least Information, and the prollt taklng cost the stock practically all of Its 3i points rise The Chicago & Northwest ern stocks continued their remarkable rise, the common advancing 13 points anil the preferred 11 points, each of them showing 5 points advance between sales. Denials from ofllcinl sources of the rumored con solidation of this road with tho Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis Omaha nnd with the I'nlon Pacific caused a reaction in the stock of 71ii points. Thrc wero denials of the rumored pairs of Consolidated (las' real estate, cuuslng a reaction of 1 points from the stock's 54 points rise.

April U.-COTTON-Cotton In tho New York mnrket touched the high point of yesterday again today on a momentary scurry of shorts for cover, but, taken ns a whole, tho market showed moro strength than In several days. Periods of apathy Inevltnbly meant sagging prices and a faint show of bear aggression und much of the time tho bull forces wore obliged to support tho market to prevent a serious break. At one tlmo May dropped from 8.10o to 7.97c under n wave of liquidation. Senti ment In conservative, circles was disposed to regard talk of materially higher prices In tho near future owing to tho fact that tho short Interest hns been greatly reduced by tho lato advances. The opening was steady, with prices 1 point lower to 2 higher. Soon after tho call shorts becamo restless and bought summer months In large nmounts, This demand, with fair bull trading and some Europenn buying, caused a rise tn 8.10c for May nnd a corresponding Improvement In the rest of tho list. Liver pool after opening about steady took a leaning tuwnrd the bull side nnd this strengthened tho market here. Tho close of tho Arst hour marked the turning point In the ndvance, ns selling orders came In from tho south nnd the alarm of shorts sub sided. By noon n loss of several points wns apparent. Further largo receipts south, dormant spot markets and fairly good weather wore In part responsible for the loss, though n severe break In Liver poo! was reully the dominating Influence. The sudden renctlon abroad was attributed to tho failure, of n prominent Alexandria cotton house. During the afternoon tho local mnrket was very quiet and aside from a slight rnlly soon nfler the noon hour fol lowed a narrow rut. Tho close was quiet, 2 points higher, to 2 points lower.

Tho market could best be described by calling it active nnd stronger, although Mima sales were mado that we'o undoubtedly higher. Even the less dcslrablo bunches and half fat stuff sold without difficulty at fully steady prices. There wero only about 15 cars of cows on sale today and ns packers all wanted a few thev started out and paid strong to a dime higher prices thnn were offered yesterdny. The greatest advance was, of course, on tho better grades as that class of cattlo was what packers were looking for.
