of cotton to-day: 1.-THE cotton market
was active to-day, but the temper of the
1 trading in the forenoon was hesitating
| and uncertain. May opened at about yes
| terdays closing prices, declined to 7.43c,
then rallied and become firm, especially
in the last hour, upon heavy buying by
change and closed at 7.50@751c, with the
| tone very steady. Many are predicting a
recovery in Liverpool tomorrow and a
higher market here, but the bears seem
pretty confident of the safety of their po-
| sition and would probably be free sellers
upon any considerable rally"
| New York, March 13.-Hubbard Bros. &
/ Co say of the cotton situation: Although
| as yet no permanent Improvement in
| prices has resulted from the conserva-
/ tive position of observation to which we
alluded last week, it is evident that the
| market has received a check to the de-
cline which seemed in progress at that
| time whether this be due to a rather
| lighter movement than the trade antici-
| mated. or to the belief that at the ruling
| quotations for the distant deliveries cotton
| was desirable is not yet apparent, but
| there are indications of a better inquiry
for cotton from continental and Amer
lean spinners, which is being felt in
! our market in the rapid reduction Of our
| stock of cotton. Speculation has not been
a factor in assisting in bringing about
| this steadier undertone, as the opinion
| is generally held throughout the country
that any recovery in prices is but tern
| norarv and must be quickly lost under
the belief in the production OF large
| crop next season. There is a period Of
| time. however. between the marketing
| of this anticipated large crop and the
! closing of this crop, when the demand
| for cotton from the visible supply can
be expected to sustain, if not advance.
| ms This period "as between hay and
| grass that seems to apply to the situa-
/ fion at the present time.
ION one side is the lack of specula-
ton and the belief in a large crop next
! season, while on the other Is the daily
| diminishing available supply, upon which
