The Cotton Markets.


New York, March 7.-To-day's mar
ket for cotton futures was the dullest
oil recent times, after opening quiet,
but steady at unchanged prices; to one
point advance and further improving
l To points. The basis of the firmnesss
was chiefly the bad climatic conditions
IN most sections of the cotton belt. In
addition TO this the regulation, but APP
parently worn-out Influences. were AT
hand, namely, good conditions in cotton
spinning and cotton market circles in
this country; generally firm accounts
from Southern spot markets. cheaD
money and further reports that plan-
tations were poorly supplied with
mules, horses and fertilizers and state
mentS mat planters were contemplate
ing the cultivation OF other crop, to the
neglect OF cotton on account OF the un-
pFohtaDlc average of last seasons
prices After all the news was in. the
market began to soften from a lack OF
outside support. and prices cased off
zH5 points from the top. But the mar
ket at no time showed pronounced
weakness. and in the afternoon was
particularly tame and fcntureless. Soil
ihS !Ir short account was restricted
py the cold wave, with freezing nj
many points, aud the outlook for plan
tatlon work made very doubtful esne-
cIally in the northern localities. while
loWlandS were reported TOO wet. il not

plaintiff and w. r. Hanes for defendant.
The plaintiff claims damages for personal
injuries which he alleges he received on
account of the negligent, wilful and ma

claims to recover $1,000. The parties reside
in WaterVille.
On the 14th of September last. the
plaintiff says he Went to the defendant,

street. Watervile. and asked him for the
payment of a small bill; that the defen-
dant replied Get in here. and plaintiif
stepped around and got into the carriage.

on the part of defendant, the jury was
excused until morning.
