SPECIAL ENERGY LACKING

New York, March 1.-While the cotton market opened under great excitement at all advance of 2QlS points, and further ad- vaneed 1Q10 points during the forenoon, the volume of business was materially less than 1t was yesterday. In the afternoon trading was queter and prices receded from the high level. There were numerous periods of reaction alternating with rallies.

A special support, which to a considerable ex- tent, accounted for the morning advance, was withdrawn by the retirement of @ Wall street party, which for several days has been a conspicuous figure in the mar ket
 Long cotton came out freely in the after noon. and thene was less timidity in the matter of settling for short account. Some houses detected a toppiness to the market, and considerable part of the late selling was in the way of creating a new short in- terest. Receipts, while much smaller, were double the movement of a year ago, and the acreage talk continued bearsh. Country orders were scarce owing to deranged wires New York; March 1.-Cotton dull: mid ding 97-16; net receipts 800; gross 12,212; stock 134,27O; exports to Great Britain 49; continent 4.050
