COTTON LETTERS.

New York, March Hubbard Bros. &
Co say: Continental spectators in Liv-
erpool attempted TO sell in that market
with the result of causing weak under
tone there all day. Curious events occur
in the cotton markets now; some cotton
reached here from Liverpool to-day be-
cause it could not be sold in that market.
Storage room has been engaged here for
a shipment from New England. and yet,
exports from the Southern ports to Liver
pool show the recent large purchases for
English spinners. Our market opened
weak with heavy liquidation, then rallied
on the operations of the local traders, who
bought freely believing the decline only
natural reaction from the recent advance.
on this reaction outside selling became
evident on an extensive scale, and the
market closed barely steady, in fact, re-
ally weak, with sellers at lower prices on
the curb Receipts continue on scale
beyond any estimate.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 7.-Professional bear
operators suspended their campaign for a
