New York. March 2.-Riordan & Co
| say of cotton. Speculation in cotton
during the week has been tame and spir-
itless, the small fluctuations having been
! governed almost exclusively by the vary
! ing volume of the receipts from day to
/ day On Thursday May sold at SAC, the
WngfaFaaW
/ market stffened and to-day heavy buy
! ing to cover shorts caused further i'm
/ provement. The close was firm at the
best prices of the week, 5.5Sc being bid
for May. To-daY's advance has had con-
siderable influence upon the sentiment Of
/ the room traders, and there are more eX-
| pressions of bullish feeling this afternoon
than have been heard here for a long time
The reaction thus far has only amounted
to points from the lowest, yet IL seems
/ to be regarded as possessing great sig
/ niiCance The immediate cause of the
rise is said TO be the receipt of kilograms
/ from Houston, Tex, forecasting sharp
diminution of the movement in that sec
ton. This is hardly in accord with the
| predictions which were current lust before
| the close yesterday. But to-day's advices
| appear 10 gain more general credence.
Everybody admits that cotton at the pres
ent low level of prices is going to be ex-
ceedingly sensitive to any such favorable
! influence as a marked reduction of re-
ceipts. The international agitation in IA
vor Of silver is tending to increase conf
/ dence among all interes ted in the cotton
J trade. But it is mainly to a lessened
production as a result of smaller acreage
and a largely decreased use of fertilizers.
1 that the friends of cotton are looking 10
! give us a permanently higher market. I'm
/ til later in the spring prices may continue
/ TO fluctuate without important change,
/ but, in our opinion, the chances. in the
long run, are all in favor Of the buyer
