The question of the right of a railroad corporation, to own stock of a competing line la one that Involve some of the most Important arguments made during the recent area of building up of community 01 interests amongst railroads, The Judicial decision refusing to make fermanent tne injunction against 'the 'nlon Pacific's Interests was accepted as encouraging by holders of securities. The disposition to realize was emphasized by the granting of an appea" to a higher court and. the Indefinite postponement of the Southern Pacific, meeting- Immediately after the announcement of the decision Cnlon Pacific rose 2V over Saturday. Most of the active lint at that time showed gains of between 1 and 2 points, with Pennsylvania, St. Paul and Canadian Pa cific conspicuously selling. As a result of the selling movement nothing but fractions were left of these advances and the tone of the closing was easy and Intensely dull. The decidedly easier tone of the call money market waa also an Influence In the early strength of the market. Money rates Were lower In Iondon and there was a reappearance In the exchange market here of bankers' loan bills. Brokers In the time money market report that possibly the only funds offered In that department are by foreign houses. Rates for time money and mercantile paper do not show the relaxing tendency yet. Although the call money market reflected a passing stringency of money, a bad Impression of sentiment wss left by the large unex plained decrease In the cash reserves of the banks reported In the Saturday bank statement. There was some disposition to blame this upon large operators for a de cline In the stock market and who were accused vaguely of withdrawing large sums from the banks with the deliberate purpose of increasing the pressure for money, but the pending reserve require ments of the trust companies offer the more likely explanation of the large with drawals of cash. Some very favorable showings of railroad gross earnings for the fourth week and month of March had an encouraging In fluence. The Increase by the Missouri Pscltlc over the corresponding week of last year amounted to 26 per cent, that of Norfolk & Western to 23 per cent. South ern Railway and Central of Georgia to 2U per cent, Chesapeake & Ohio to 16 per cent. while for tne mnnin 01 murcn Aiooue k Ohio gross earnings rose 29 per cent and New York Central 21 per cent. Notwith standing the high level of the operating ex penses, sucn increases in gross earning make a striking showing of railroad pros perity. The reported settlement of the Wabash labor dispute had a soothing effect upon the prevalent apprehension over the labor outlook. There was heavy selling of Sugar re- f ported for Boston account, supposed to be a the pursuit of a bear campaign. The bond market was ami anu irregular. Total sale, par value. $1, 805.000.

NEW YORK, April 6. COTTON Market opened firm at an advance of 16 polnta and ruled active and excited under further cov erings of May and July shorts. Immedi ately following the call here May wss forced rapidly upward to 10.30c. this being 14 points beyond the highest previous level of the season, and July, selling at 9.95c, also surpassed previous record so far a the presvnt crop Is concerned. The advance was almost entirely due to the covering of shorts, though at Intervals the market wa supported by the bu'l clique. Southern news as to the new crop prospects contin ued bearish, and this exerted a depressing effect on the new crop options, which were neglected during most of the session. But while the port receipts for the day turning out about 12.675 bales, against 13,114 bales lust year, and the estimated receipts for leading points tomorrow were moderate, thus encouraging buying, when May had reached 10.35c there wa a momentary halt and values sagged back a little under rea lizing. Then the list turned stronger again and May was rushed up to 10.38c, with the money market at that time showing an ad vance of from 6 to 26 points on the active options. After thl the market, while gen erally firm,, became somewhat Irregular. It waa thought tho heaviest short Interest had pretty thoroughly covered, and this was regarded by some of the bolder room operators as a algnal for fresh commit ments on the short side, while ft also checked covering by those who had thils far stood by their short contracts. There was some further realizing by room longs who preferred taking profits to carrying their operatlona over night and price were fmt back a few points, but were again rai led Just before the closw. which wa steady ar a net advance of 6fi27 points, with May selling at 10.35c and July at 9.93c, within 2 (fr'3 points of the best on these operations. Local sales estimated at 230,000 bale. The Liverpool market wa not a factor In to day's trading. At the time of the local opening was Just about as due on the New York close of Saturday, but later turned firmer In response to advances here and closed net 2(4V4 points higher. May cotton touched 10.3Sc, the top price of the day. In the early afternoon. There was no special news to account for the fur ther advance other than that the shorts were still fearful of the situation and con tinued to cover. The bull faction appeared to be well sntlsfled with conditions and sold May moderately. The market became somewhat unsettled toward the close, with nrtces nenernllv he. lew the top, although the reputed leader of the long Interest wa reported to have purchased something like 6,000 bales of May Ncotton at a price very near the high fig tre.

Trading at this point was not ex actly brisk, but still the cattle started to ward the scales In good season and al though there were over 5,000 on sale a fairly early clearance waa made. The big end of recelpta waa again made up of corn-fed Ateers and packers were bidding generally a dime Ijwer. The handy weight cattle were again m the best de mand and In a good many cases those kinds sold at just sbout steady prices. All others, however, were right around a dime lower than the close of last week. Owing to the heavy receipts at all points and the unfavorable reports sellers did not eee any hopen of getting out steady, so they cut loose In fairly good season at the decline. The demand for the better grades of cowa was active and prices were steady with last 1-rlday. All the packers Seemed to have liberal orders, and aa supplies were not e.xceaslve the pens were soon cleared. When It came to the commoner kinds of cows, though, the market waa extremely dull and considerably lower. (Salesmen, In fact, claimed It was hard to sell the can ners and common cutters at any price. Bulls sold In Just about the same notches they did last week and veal calves were strong and active. There were more stockers and feeders In the tarda this morning t:an have been here before In a long time, and a large pro portion of them were on the common order. Btrictiy cnoice cattle were ratner scarce, so that they sold at right close to steady Drlces. The less desirable grades, though. were alow and unevenly lower. Representa tive salest BEEF STEERS.

The market, however, could not be quoted more than a shade lower. Trading waa not very active, but as there were so few loads on the market the early arrivals were soon disposed of. The bulk of the good weight hoge sold from $7.25 to $7.30 and aa high as $7,324 waa paid. The medium welghta sold largely from $7.30 to $7.25 and the light hogs from $7.20 down. The quality of the offerlnga today was not very good, so that the market on paper looka lower than It really was. ivepreaen- tatlve salea: No. A v. 8h Pr. 76 7 7 15 7 15 7 20 7 20 7 20 7 20 7 20 7 22V4 7 22 7 22V, 7 224 7 124 7 2x4 7 25 , 7 25 7 25 No. 47... 61... 61... 63... 60... 41... 60... 32... 63... 65... 61... 84... 69...

The better grades of both sheep and lamb were In active demand and the prlcee paid were steady with those in force at the close of last week. The half-fat kinds, though, were slow sale and a little lower. Colorado lambs sold as high aa $7.40 Colo rado ewes $5.85, Mexican ewes $5.65 and Mexican yearlings $6.00. Some clipped lambs that were of light weight and only fair quality brought $6.66. There were quite a few feeders Included in the receipts this morning, but the de mand for the better gradea was sufficient to hold prices steady. The common atult was neglected to some extent.
