COTTON.

The cotton market showed considerable
strength, closing at an advance of Is cent
on middling and 3-16 cent on other grades.
The market was posted unsettled, and no
transactions reported. Advic@s from the
outside were good, New York scoring an
advance of sails points, while Liverpool
was up from 61a to 111a-64d on the future
list Receipts continue about the same,
tne total to-day being 3,297 bales. An ele~
ment of doubt still exists as TO what the
future may bring, but 1t is the general
prediction that a sudden falling off in the
receipts may soon be expected Private
kilograms to brokers and factors were TO
the effect that holders will continue to
feed" the market, and will take good
care it's appetite for cotton is not lessen
ed. All offerings from the outside We're
from II to 3-16 cent above local quotations.
Holders admitted these prices sounded
high, but claimed they would be cheap
for cotton on Monday The seasons re-
ceipts are about $4,000 behind last season 5
receipts.
The following were the official spot quo
tations, at the close of the market, at the
Cotton Exchange to-day:

MORE ADVANCES IN COTTON
.,pKET MOVES UP FROM i TO 3-16
CENTS ON ALL GRADES.

D.norts From the Interior to the
rGect That Offerings Are Light.
,ocoI Cotton Firmly HeId-NavaI
scores Firm and More Active To-
ard the CIOse-LOcaI and Tele-
graphic Markets.
Norning News Office, March 3.-Ad-
,oe i'm the cotton market nowadays
aro expected as matter of fact, and the
,,operal inquiry is how much up?" The
local market went up Is cent on basis
,ni5aling. and 3-16 cents on . the other
,,rados New York futures were up from
{ 70 IS points, and Liverpool showed an
ad,-ance OF 6lb to 1112-64d. A general good
feeling prevailed, both locally, and at the
.,rs3fng centers, where predictions of ten
cent cotton were reported freely made.
There were few new features in the sit
nation. which is still in an unsettled state.
1n. tone of the local market was posted
unsettled. and there were few indications
which could be looked to as absolute
POINTERS as to future developments. One
tbine which seems to be settled among
the local trade however, is that there will
soon be a shrinkage of receipts, due to
the fact that about all the cotton in the
interior has been SOLD, and is finding its
vav through this and other ports to con-
sumers Private advices were received
huling the day to the effect that offerings
throughout the interior were light, and
the cotton offered was at prices above
exporters limits. Holders asserted, how
ever, that those prices would sound cheap
when compared with what they will ask
on Monday. The history of the cotton
market does not show a year when the
staple was more inteligently marketed.
The offerings have been by degrees and
AT no time has the market been over
stocked to the detriment of prices. Naval
stores were rather active during the late
hours, when there were considerable sales
of resins at quotations. Spirits turpentine
were firmly held by factors for better
prices. The wholesale branches were
steady and fairly active. The following
resume of the different markets will show
the tone and quotations at the close to-
DAY.
