iirmer turn of the Liverpool market than
local traders had calculated upon, togeth-
er with the usual bullish statement from
che cotton belt relating 10 the movement
and prospects of a new crop.
These influences were supplemented by
a report from Fall River to the effect that
little or no spot cloths were to be had at
any figure. while sales for future delivery
ran well into April with spinners, in some
instances refusing further business at pre-
valing figures.
Port receipts considering the fact that Il
Is the last day of the month, were hardly
as large as looked for. and official esti-
mates pointed TO an extremely light move
ment during the rest of the week.
Early i'm the afternoon the bear faction
under a rumor that Admiral Dewey had
sunk German warship. tended 10 depress
the market, and their efforts were attend
ed with a fair amount of success, al
though at no time was there the slightest
sign of weakness.
The cotton sold was almost entirely for
the act of those traders who had pur-
chased before the rise in the forenoon and
was for the realization of profits Orders
from outside speculative interests were
conspicuous by their absence. Southern
representatives found plenty of idle time
on their hands; houses with continental and
Liverpool connections took little part In
business from opening to close.

Co. say of cotton; Liverpool quickly re-
covered the decline of the morning on the
strength of this market and closed steady
at the best prices. Locally the market
has shown the effect of the gradual liqui-
dalton on the report of the outside hold
ers, though why they should sell with
the receipts light is a problem to the local
long interest, who feel the situation de-
velopes rather than looses strength. Our
stock of cotton continues to slowly in
crease with every probability that the
stock will reach larger figures than
thought likely earlier in the season. This
Is natural, with this market remaining
the highest in the world though rather
unexpected, In view of the light movement
in Texas. Traders are bullsh looking for
Liverpool and Europe soon to realize that
the crop has been over estimated, but
outside buying Is less In evidence than OF
late. The close was easy In the absence
of outside buying orders, with the trade
disappointed at the outcome of the days

think the deputy work should receive
more attention. that it will be for the in

prepared after the formulas presented by

paid is practically the same as in other
