ence upon the course of prices. Liverpool
again cabled us an encouraging report
this morning. Futures there were only
Lad higher, but the sales of spot cotton
were heavy. The market here opened
from unchanged quotations to points up
from yesterdays closing prices. Consid-
cradle long liquidation depressed the mar
ket for time, but New Orleans and Liv-
erpool sent large buying orders here and
that, together with the effort of the local
bulls and the covering of short cotton,
readily absorbed the offerings and prices
shot upward. May opened at 7.20c, de-
clined to TIC, advanced to 7.27c and clos
ed at 1861. &c, with the tone of the mar
ket firm. Whether this is only the begin
ming of a good advance in cotton depends
upon the truth or falsity of the reports
now being received about the amount OF
cotton still to come forward in the south
and the continuance of the eager demand
for the actual stuff. The planting and
the progress of the new crop will be
watched with absorbing interest and will
soon begin to have an influence upon the
daily fluctuations. Sentiment here has
changed completely and higher prices are
predicted on all sides. For ourselves we
think that with occasional set backs cot
ton should enjoy a substantial and per
haps rapid rise"
New York, Feb. N.-The Sun says of cot
ton: THE sentiment to-day was decidedly
bullish, and prices scored substantial
Improvement The pool was higher, both
for futures and spots, with good demand
for spot cotton. Europe and the south
bought here; Manchester reported a good
demand at strong prices, the receipts were
light, there was very little disposition to
sell, and shorts covered. Prices opened
higher, advanced steadily, and closed firm
at the best figures of the day. Many con-
tend that the fact that there is greater
short interest in the market than was gen.
orally believed to exist was developed to-
day, and that this short interest is becom-
ing nervous on account of the scarcity of
spot cotton at the SOUTH

New York, Feb. 27.-To-day brought to
a close a week in the dry goods market
in which there has been an increased
business at both first and second hands
without buyers showing any disposition
to depart from a conservative policy in
their operations. In to-day's business the
restriction of orders to supplies for quick
delivery has been specially noticeable. The
market has not improved in price during
the month except in print cloths. The
months results in mems wear wooden and
worsted fabrics have been encouraging.
