COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
The DulIest Day Seen IN Many
Weeks.
FLUCTUATIONS WERE INSIGNIFICANT.
An Amount Into sight Equal to Inst
Years Total Crop-ltcccipts mt
the Ports Were small.
Office of The Post,


Houston. Friday, February 8
| The ninth week of s.agnation In cr:tol
| speculation has ended. today being the
dullest and most embarrassing session yet
seen. The fluctuations at New York were
within range of points and very fire.
quently an hour or more would elapse be-
foro a sale was recorded. The active
/ months at New York and New Orca'.s
closed exactly where they stopped yesicr-
| day and the day before. The only change
az New York was loss of / point on
June and August deliveries. and a gain Of
| to points on October November and
December New orleans repeated yes.er-
days closing figures all along the line.
l.iverrool ranged from unchanged to y
cid of.
Spots continue steady ut nearly all mar
kets, with a good demand reported
throughout the South. Sales at New Or
leans were 2s.2O0 bales for the week, or
600 more than the receipts at that port.
The New orleans stock decreasef 5000
bales during the week and nearly every
prominent American market has a smaller
supply than week ago.
The United States port reccirts were "a
coo bales less than for the corresponding
week last year. and 1900 bales less than a
week ago. The total amount into sight
for the week was l.. 600 bales larger than
last year but 69,oOO less than the year
before. Since the first of September, ISL
ia bales have come into sight. or prac-
ticaly as much as was received FOR the
entire season last year After this date in
1896 there we're received 1.bls.0o bales.
Should a like amount he received from
row on the 1861 crop Will amount to
$4,000 bales.
AT loday's session New York futures
opened dun but steady. with 7oi bid for
March. The highest sale was at 7.05 and
the lowest 7o3 the closing being 30i07Qj.
May fiuotuated between 7.i7n7.lS tor
long time, sold down to us for n brief
period, bat soon recovered and closed at
7.l7G7.1S.
In Now orleans March fuciuated he
tween G.S3dG4 throughout the dav. and
closed at those figures Mry sold at 6a7
early in the session, dropped to SOS and
closed at G.95QG96.
Houston expects 5000 10 1900 bales to-
morrow. against 1865 on the same day last
year. The estimate at New orleans is
for 300 TO 300, against $3.50.
The following table shows the stocks OF
American cotton held at seven of the
principal markets Of the world today, this
day last week and for the corresponding
date in 1896:
