New York, Feb. l5.--The feature of
to-day's influences in the cotton mar
ket WAS the small movement at the
ports. with the Indication of subslding
interior receipts. New Orleans WAS cs-
tmated for tomorrow at GOO TO 500
bales. against 7,l20 last year. Other
conditions were also generally faVora-
Bile To higher prices and the market
opened steady at an advance OF 2Wi
points, with energetic covering by
shorts, rs well as speculative buying
which led to further rise of Sal
points. y disposition to secure profits
caused several periods OF reaction: but
The undcrtone was generally firm.
Tile upward movement of prices was
stimulated by Il further advance of Ia
y. points AT Liverpool. The moderate
sales of spot cotton nj LiVcrp0OI wore
disappointing. Now that the storm is
over there is Il good deal Of flood
talk in circulation here. Speculation
was not particularly active to-day. be-
cause trade being disposed to stop TO
size up this new factO: with it's posi-
bic. If not probable. effects The wire
service was still more or less crippled.
but this morning rapidly improved, so
That the afternoon found the service
restored to about normal conditions
Accounts from American spinners. cot
