cal and Telegraphic Markets.
Morning News Office. March 1.-The cot
ron market was again the center of at
traction to-day, and it did not fail to
srcngthen the contention of a majority of
tbo trade that cotton is likely to reach
IA eents before long. The advance of lis
cent all round brought middlng to 91k
cents, and good middling Sic cents The
tone of the market was firm, and every
Indication pointed to maintenance of the
present upward tendency. The trade have
had great surprises in the movement of
the market during the past ten days, and
especially was this the case among the
conservative element, who were ready TO
conclude it improbable that further inn
provement would follow.
Advices from the outside were en-
couraging. While there was not so much
activity in New York, much trading wa
done there during the day notwithstand-
ing Wednesdays tremendous business. The
withdrawal of the Wall street firm, whose
actions were the subject for comment
among the local trade. and particularly
as TO the kilograms which could not be
reconcied with the firms phenomenal
buying, did not seem to check business
much During the early session the mar
ket was very irregular, and prices jumped
in a way to open the eyes of even the
older operators. Liverpool was up, and
considera BILE activity was reported in that
market.
Resins changed at the opening, grades
+. F, and II going off cents, while N
went up 25 cents, bringing the price to $500.
The market was firm at the advance, and
good sized transactions were reported.

close being firm. Produce was firm. The
wholesale branches We're firm and active.

markets will show the tone and quotations

Long cotton came out freely in the af-
ternoon, and there was less timidity in the
matter of selling for short account. Some
houses detected a toppiness to the mar

selling was in the way of creating new
