MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, March 13.-(Special. 1.-The cot ton market was active today but the tenn per of the trading in the forenoon was hestatng and uncertain. May opened at about yesterdays closing prices, declined to 7.43, then rallied and became firm, especially in the last hour, upon heavy buying by the most prominent house in the exchange, and closed at 7.50Q7.51, with the tone very steady. Many are predicting recovery in Liverpool and a higher market here, but the bears seem pretty confident of the safe- ty of their position and would probably be free sellers upon any considerable rally.

The Iron Trade Review of the 97th
ult., says:
The condition OF iron and steel at the
end Of February is in some respects
similar TO that OF year ago-iucreasing
stocks Of pig iron. an unsatisfactory
volume OF business ia raw and finished
materials, with mill capacity only partly
employed, collections difficult, CONNER
absence of data on which to base an
estimate OF the future. Two elements
are found in the present situation that
We're absent Il year ago-a general dis
position TO hold prices substantially
where they are aud belief that in an
other month developments will justify
business for 1896. 1t Is recalled that IL
was not until latter March and early
April of 1895 that buying started, in any
significant way. and while the very fact
of last years boom. with its diSagreeabie
sequel is considered sufficient guaranty
against its reeurre ace; there is feeling
tions, that demand will be materially
stronger as the year advances. Railroads
continue to be the most important factor
in current buying. Additional rail
orders have been placed in the past week
and each week is adding its quota of car
shop work. A total Of nearly 100 900
interest is nearly 100 per cent beyond the
record OF year ago. Pittsburg and far
ther eastern mills have booked great
tonnage also. in February; but deliveries
are such that this rail business is not
likely to work any early Improvement in
the Bessemer iron and billet markets. lu
neither metal has the week brought any
business worthy Of mention. From one
or two furnaces in the valley seme Bes-
semer for early shipment has been sold
at the equivalent Of Sl3.l5, Pittsburg,
but Pittsburg middlemen have shaded
Sl2T5. Pittsburg, in the little business
they have handled. Pig iron stocks Of
Pittsburg steel works have been reduced
somewhat in February, and they are
likely to be buyers in March. Steel is
weaker. Pittsburg sellers hold for ST. 20
on business involving May deliveries; yet
some March and April steel has sold at
Si7.50 at mill Chicago has done good
business in rods the past week, with a
total OF IL, 900 tons, and there are other
signs of a better movement in wire and
wire nails. Bars for car works have
shown some activity. but the bar mill
capacity is scarcely half employed as yet,
fact that has aided not little In the
determined movement Of that interest
for fair prices and an allotment OF ton
mage. Engineering and other heavy
work foundrles do not get new business
in the way they would like and their
purchases OF iron continue restricted.
On southern foundry irons there has
been further cutting by smaller pro-
dncers. and there are evidences of a
severe strain upon the resolution OF the
leading companies to hold TO $3.50, Bir-
mingh for No. . foundry. Northern
prod ucers In general keep quotations up
on 5O-ton and 100. ton business, but the
occasional buyer OF 500 to 1000 tons gets
a concession"
