The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKE1


New York. March 6.-There WAS quite
a furry in cotton when business OPEN
ed this morning. The first call de-
vcloped the presence of a good many
buying orders from the South, and also
III the hands of houses here with for
cign connections.
The advance in futures at Liverpool
and the increased spot sales there were
said 10 be due to 4 reduction by NELL
in his crop estimate. While the local
traders were disposed to disparaSe
Neill's figures, OH their merits, they
were not disposed to disregard their
effect on the foreigners, ana there was
quite Il scramble TO cover short con-
tracts, which lasted some time after
the opening. On the call prices adj
vanccd To 5 points. and further inn
proved l to 3 points. The buying was
stimulated by very unfavorabc reports
from the cotton belt regarding the ct
fccts of bad weather and indicating
that field work. which had been COM
menceu last week, had been abandoned
on account of the wet condition of the
Lands. The iirmncSs was Still further
Increased by indications of an abrupt
falling of in tho movement. still am
other element OF nrmnesS was the
statement from Washington To the e.
feet that the Ohio rivcr was rising. ON
this account the market had II gen
orally irm undcrtonc throughout the
session Profit taking, however. be-
came Il feature III the afternoon, and
The market cascd off a little. Fore
casts pointed 10 improved weather con-
ditionS in the South. and there were
contradictory rumOrs ailOat regarding
Neills crop position. some being to the
effect that he has not reduced HIS oSti-
mate. and that he has no intention OF
doing so. Local prejudice in the after
noon took 4 somewhat Dclrish turn:
but neither longs nor shorts had posi-
tive convictions. and it became a wait
ing market The market was finally
quiet and steady > to 3 points net
higher.
