Cotton Letter.

cotton L6ut6r.
 New York, Feb. 1.-(Special.)-Prces in the cotton market have shown declining tendency during the week just passed, the weakness being especially noticeable in the new crop months. Today Liverpool sur prised the traders by an irregular advance of point for March. This caused a slight improvement at our opening, but there seemed to be no demand, and prices soon gave way, closing somewhat lower than yesterday. March opened at SOP and closed at 79S bid May, which has now taken the place of March as the active trading month, opened at S.09 and closed at S.07 bid, with the tone quiet and steady. After the close the large estimate of receipts at New Orleans on Monday caused another depres- sion, and there were liberal offerings of March and May at a point lower than the closing bids We have been among those who hoped that light crop movement in January would have given us a materially higher market this month, but though the January receipts have fallen far below the estimates of the bears, prices have not im- proved, and the present outlook seems to indicate that the market, instead of going higher, is likely to have gradual decline as the planting season draws near. The dry goods trade is dull. The mills are said to be accommodating manufactured stock, and nobody seems to fear any scarcity of
 
 the general and growing belief that the south intends to beat the record in the extent of her cotton planting operations during the coming season. That paralyzes speculation and leads the mills everywhere to rely upon hand to month buying to keep their spindles and looms at work. Shrewd farmers and merchants are already selling October and November contracts against the cotton they expect to raise or control. fxll ,.-t,. between the spring and the fall deliveries will hardly encourage those who have held back their cotton so far to persist hiold- ing Candor compels us to say that we be- lieve that the south will do well to market every bale she can at present prices, and the farmers who sell now against the cot ton they are about to plant will get a much better price than by waiting until the bales are ready for shipment.

In Wall Street.

New York, Feb. 1.-Speculation at the stock exchange today was quiet, but in the weak for a time on London selling. Local operators were also sellers to a moderate extent, the belief having prevailed in cer- tain quarters that the passing of the free silver bill would have an adverse influence. The selling, however, was not important and the decline slight. Shortly after the opening the market began to improve, and under the leadership of General Electric, Sugar, Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway and the -grangers, an advance of A to per cent took place. General Electric scored the greatest gain moving up from 29 to 31. The rise In the stock was due to the revival of the report that the company had secured a contract to furnish the Manhattan com pany with electric motors. Directors of the Manhattan say that all there Is to the story is that the Electric Storage Battery com pany will make an experiment on the Thrty-fourth street branch within the next three months. Union Pacific rose A per Roc so k ssna Snga5 to to 7SS s Paul % to and Nashville M to 47A. Near the close there were sales to realize profits and prices of Chicago, Burlington and Quincy at this time on the December statement on earn ings. The market closed steady.
