Birmingham, March 22.-Cotton advices from Liverpool were lower than expected, and caused free selling during the fore noon, but this market absorbed offerings and reacted on liberal buying owing to moderate port receipts today of only 15,- 900 bales and small estimate for receipts at Houston tomorrow of 26OO bales. Some be- lieve that the scheme to have cotton held back for lower rate of freight, is about over, and that the movement will lbe normal hereafter. Operators continue buying near and selling far months. although the spec ulative buying is more active in new crop deliveries The weather south Is better than expected yesterday.

Of Texas, veriies the report that he is
interested in the proposed commits
sion deal by which the promoters Of
the Consolidated Cattle Company ex-
pect to round up 100000 head Of cat

Texas and Eastern New Mexico for
breeding, fattening and marketing.
Swift & Co., the Chicago packers, who
some time ago were reported as having
invested $500, 900 in Texas cattle, are
credited with preparing to invest
1000, 600 in similar manner.
CHOW that the free cattle ranges are
a :hing Of the past in the Western
States, cattle for market must be cared
for on closed ranges, said Mr.. Far
we'll. "Not only is there plenty Of
grass tor stock IN Western IeXas and
Eastern New Mexico, but plenty of
corn. Some of the finest beef cattle
in the market now come from Texas. !"
Mr.. Loving, editor of a Texas stock
journal, the promoter Of the cattle
deal, is.at present in New York city.
The Capital Syndicate, Of Chicago
and Texas, at the head Of which is
Mr.. Farwell, has entrusted Mr.. Low

Daily Picayune.


Although news has continued
scarce as to the progress Of events
in South Africa, such reports as
have been received throw consider
able light upon recent happenings.
There is now every reason to be-
heve that Ladysmith, although sur
rounded, has not fallen, and the
British military authorities believe
to hold out until relieved, as the
camp is well stocked with all classes
of supplies. The railroad leading
south to Pietermaritzburg has been
cut, bu! the beleaguered British
have apparently been successful in
sending information to the outside
world by means of carrier pigeons.
There is we'll defined report to
the effect that the Beers have met
with quite sharp reverse near Co.
lenso, and have lost heavily. If
sucn reverse has actually oc- !,
CURED, 1t was no doubt due to the
operations Of flying column sent
out from Ladysmith. Whether this
reported reverse is identica with
the fight at Besters' farm, in which

tured BY the British is not known,
but this possibly may be the case.

As yet, none of Sir Redvers
