There was no life whatever in the cotton
market today. Speculative business seemed
to be on crutches. It was SO hating and
slow. The total sales OF futures at New
York were 1880 bales. and at New Or

were recorded. and the close showed a loss

but this did not give the American markets

The action OF the cotton market during

is the way one OF the recently confident

could see for the market was such an In
crease in tho spot demand as to insure
cotton famine next August. or some

shatter the hope OF big yield.

Houston. Saturday. March "a


There have been no important develop
ncnu In the local wholesale market oui :
ing the past week. Tho demand has been
fully UP to recent average. but there has
been nothing In either outside or inside
conditions Of q character to stimulate buy
ers to increased cxertions in any direc-
tion. Retail trade At country points has
fallen of somewhat. due To the fact that
farmers are At work upon their ciops
This has naturally iuterferei with the
wholesale demand In some lines. though
bus ness as whole shows no decrease.
Crop prospects are very good throughout
the State, and tho present outlook Ia for
earlier aud better crops than for long
time past Tho light fros, experienced at
some points early in the week did some
damage but not as much as first reports
indicated There is always a tendency TO
eaaggerate these weather conditions. and
Il will doubtless be found that the extent
OF the damage from the frost and light
freeze was to iuJure tender vegetation aud
some fruit buds, and to give young corn
slight setback. The cotton that was up
In come portions OF South aud Southwest
Texas was damaged slightly. but this Will
have very little effect upon the crop as
whole.
