SPOT demand here We have said before, the
spot demand was the key to the situation and
the course of today's market clearly proves
tho correctness of our assertion. We learn
today that exporters who were short Of cor

cotton in New Orleans Is 56G 900 against

Huntcr's DniIy cotton letter.

r. w Hunter & Co. say of today's cotton
market: In response 10 drop of 2,6iths IN
| Liverpool and an easier spot market there,
our market opened off 4 to 8 points, but un-
der good buying. and Liverpool regaining half
Of her loss. We advanced to last closing prices,
only to case off again under liberal receipts,
heavy estimates for tomorrow both at New
Orleans and at Houston and a much less ur-
gent demand for spots, New York finally
closing and New Orleans points lower OH
tho day It really seems n very difficult
matter to bull cotton with such heavy re-
ceipts. 1t being almost certain that 9.500 900
bales will have come into sight by March l.
and the trade generally accepting 1t as set
tied that an 1000, 0OO- bale crop has been
made, but still the market is a bull market,
and there Is every indication that it Will so
remain for some time. The demand for spots
today has been less urgent, hut IL satisfied
for the moment there is no reason to believe
that the big short interest In spots has COW
cred, and so long as this renuins outstand-
ing big receipts can not hurt the market very
much, for every one knows that the cotton
has been sold before it comes into sight Few
thought that with the immense wheat crop
last summer September wheat at Ga cents
was not sure sale, and still those who
bought il saw at one time profit of 10 cents
bushel Cotton may follow suit.

Houston, Monday, February z.

Tho steam which was in the cotton markets
last week was exhausted some today, nearly
all tho news being in favor of the bears
In the FIRST place, the receipts at ports are
topheayy, being for the day 3i.7s3, against
.94o Inst year and 2i.9oi in 1895. For satur-
day and today they are 67i3a, against il,ilo
In 1895, an increase Of 1874. Another bear
fcnturo was the estimate at New Orleans OF
receipts tomorrow amounting to $4,000 TO 70, :
Goo, against S6Ts last year and 7G3l In 1898.
Houston's expected receipts tomorrow are also
LIBERAL being 5000 to $500. against 6S71 last
year and 6323 In 1895.
Spots showed falling off In the demand
and the news from Cuba was of disnuieting
nature. Collectively these were potent In
Huences In the hands OF the bears.
All the spot markets closed unchanged. ex-
cept Galveston, which is UP Lie, presumably

tho close showed decline OF only 1-6i.
New York opened at a decline, but rallied,
only to subsequently drop back, the close be-
ing points below Friday, with sales of
10000. In the speculation last week Chi
cago parties were prominent in the buying
orders. High for May was 6.12 aud low COG;
August, high 62i low GIG.
New Orleans closed at losses ranging from
z to II points, some transactions being re-
ported In the next crop months High for

November 3oth was Colonel Taylor's
birthday, and he thought this very
opportune time to show his clemency
to some unfortunate fellow in the
guard-house. So he inquired through
the regiment as to which prisoner was
the most deserving of a favor. and Pri-
vate Lingham was commended to him
on all sides as being well-behaved and
Al good man.
On the recommendation OF Colonel
Taylor. the Acknowledgement of the
court issued on Monday an order that
the remainder of Private Lingham's
sentence be RENTED in view of his
previous character and his excellent
conduct while a prisoner Now he
walks about where he pieases without
even the ghost of a man with a gun on
his shoulder stalking behind him..
