New York, March 4.-Paine Murphy &
Co. say OF cotton to-day: THE cotton
situation remains about unchanged from
past few days. Advices from Liverpool
this morning. however, were much better
than expected, owing to the strength COM
ing from Manchester and rumors that Neil
will shortly reduce mis- estimate
Our market ruled firm to-day, on short
covering, and some fresh buying al
though receipts at the ports We're fairly
liberal, and, in consequence, Southern
longs were among the most prominent seI-
lers. To-day's closing was steady show
ing net gains of three points, on nearby,
and two points on distant options"
New York, March Hubbard Bros. &
Co. says of cotton: "Our market opened
with sales of May at 6.30c and after selling
at 6 29@6.S ruled az .3Oc at IL o'clock a.
m. Immediate deliveries in Liverpool
were firm to-day on a demand from Man
chester, based on persistent rumors from
London that Mr.. Neill would reduce his
crop estimate the coming week. No con-
tirmation of this rumor has been made on
this side of the Atlantic and though our
market has been steady at an equivalent
advance over yesterday. There has not
been the activity or life which all ex-
pected would form the better tidings from
Liverpool. There appears to be a dispo-
eition to realize among Southern holders
on the basis of about 6.9Oc for August,
and these offerings must be absorbed before
the market will pass that point. There
are few who expect any decline with the
present condition Of crop advices and re-
ceipts but strangely there are not the
many new buyers we expected"
