New York Feb, A.-To-day's market for
cotton futures developed great activity, the
feature being the heavy deliveries $4,000
bales) on March contracts and the prompt
| absorption of the same by competent hold
ers A Greek house is said to have issued
10000 bales on March contract, expecting
to break the market. Other efforts in the
same direction were made by lesser houses
with purposes of manipulation in view. The
house originally issuing the notices suisse
forts to get their cotton back again
The scheme of breaking the market by
deliveries failed to work and after open
| ing steady with prices unchanged to 2
| points lower, il closed with sharp rally
| and a general scramble to cover, as well
| as to buy for investment The advance OH
| This account was not marked however, as
Liverpool cables were far from satisfac-
| tory and quite a number of outside and
a,1r 1t,r
The market, however, advanced to Sd4
| points above the closing level of yester-
day. Still later there WAS a renewed SELL
| ing movement following indications of bet
| ter weather in the South. which many
| traders believed was the only thing needed
| to bring out receipts that may astonish the
long interest. From the highest prices of
the forenoon to the lowest of the afternoon
there was a decline of 4G6 points. The
market was finally barely steady at a net
loss of 2d4 points.
