New York, March S.-The volume of
speculative trading in cotton which has
recently been showing steady decrease
was still smaller to-day. The market was
slightly variable and showed somewhat
nervous feeling on the part of local trad
ers, and lack of positive convictions re-
gardlng the future of the market The Eng
lish cables were considerably better than
had been looked for, but our market
opened generally steady with prices I'M
changed to one point higher. Al The same
time port receipts we're small, as was also
the interior movement and the market
later rallied on small transactions 10 a
point 3Q4 above yesterdays closing fig
ures, the improvement stimulated by still
further favorable adVices from spot mar
kets in the South and from American
spinning and cloth centers. During the sf-
ternoon the market was particularly small
| and destitute of feature. Earlier In the
session there had been some buying by
Wall street parties which subsequently
subsidized The market was finally steady,
one point lower to one point higher.

New York, March 3.-Paiue, Murphy &
Co. say Of cotton: Liverpool cables con-
tinue to show strength with fair sales of
spot cotton. Our market opened with
small sales, and slight changes. Improv-
ed weather conditions fail to increase the
movement of cotton. Union firmed reports
of reduced crop estimate by mills, were
received to-day, and the outside buying
was very good Port receipts for the day
very small, estimated at 10000 bales, while
total for the week will not be over 5000
against $4,000 this week last year. Total
in sight to date $4,000"
New Yory, March Hubbard Bros &
Co., say of cotton Manchester was the
chief buyer in Liverpool to-day on the
light movement and the proba bility Of re-
duced crop estimates The spiuners held
out part of their contracts al about this
price, on the last advance and were re-
placing them. The movement at the in
terror towns shows some Improvement at
all points except Houston, where the re-
ceipts are believed to be retarded by ship
pers waiting for the reduction in freight
rates soon to become effective. Locally,
the market has not responded to the i'm
pfovement abroad, more attention being
paid to the anticipated movement next
week. and a lower Liverpool market is an
ticipated tomorrow by the local trade, be-
cause Of the increase at the interior"
