ply of cotton, issued to-day. shows the

81 last week. and 4,O19771 last year OF
this the total of American cotton is 3127,-

Murphy & Co.'S. Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 23.-While the enthusi-
astic and patriotic Americans were cele-
brating, the Englishman, on the other
hand, was keeping still and saving
wood by springing quite a surprise on
the English market showing a net ad-
vance of to points since the closing
of our market Thursday afternoon. This
market ruled very feverish this morning
around the opening, the active months
quickly showing an advance of from II
TO 10 points, compelling the shorts to beat
a hasty retreat. Later they began to DON
stantly shift their position and kept this
up until the close of the session, which
caused this market to lose from to 6
points. although closing at a net edvance
of from 8 to s points over Thursdays
final figures. The explanation given by
private cables for Liverpoo.'s advance
was that spinners and continental interests
had suddenly come into the market as
good buyers, especially for near months
The demand for spot cotton in Liverpool
was considerably in excess of anything of
late. Spinners takings being about 5000
bales in the open market at full price,
which has formerly been paid, while pri-
vate cables stated that several thousand
more bales had become the property of
consumers on private terms. Every indi-
cation points to the fact that the cotton
market is slowly getting into the hands
of strong bull interests and we look for
a much higher range of prices in this
commodity, especially for near months.

II. q u. Beers Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Feb. 2S.--AI American ex-
changes were closed yesterday in honor
of "Washington's birthday" which Liv-
erpool celebrated by advancing sharply, and
as the Improvement which was practically
maintained to-day, our market opened five
to seven points higher, running steady
thereafter on the light weekly movement
subsequently, declined six to nine from
the top on longs realizing and the bear
ish visible supply statement closing at
a net loss of l to > points from Thurs
days quotations. An evidence of poor
trade condition, Notwithstanding the
amount brought into sight for the week
which, 41,00o under last year. the total
visible supply increased 21000, against
loss of 10000 last year. or again rela-
lively of $1,000 in the visible, demonstrat-
ing that spinners have absorbed that much
less than last year in a week. on the
lst of September the visible supply OF
all kinds was 1,01S000, against 2,60S, 900
last year. II is now 4116,O00, against H.
200. 900 last year. Therefore deducting the
present figures from those of Sept. l.
we ascertain that they have increased to
date 100000 against an increase of only
,412.00O last year, or an excess in the
visible accumulation of 1891 900 over last
year, providing that the worlds trade is
unsatisfactory.

The Morning News ONCE,
Saturday, Feb. %.
Trading during the week Just closed has
not been particularly active in any quar-
ter. though this was largely due to the
hesitation manifested in most of the mar
lzets and the waiting attitude caused
thereby. Business was considerably re-
strlcted in the cotton market as compared
with previous weeks.
The feature of the week was the adj
vsncing tendency in the turpentine mar
ket and the gains scored over the pre-
ceding week This was largely due to
the strength the market derived from the
restricted receipts and the demand. which
was fully equal to the offerings. At the
closing to-day the official price was S9c
bid. but this applied only to the days re-
ceipts. Offerings of stuff in second hands
are said to have been refused on this
basis. The rosn market closed firm at
an advance of Sc on ! and below, with the
tone firm, and the demand satisfactory
from all sources.
The cotton futures market closed barely
steady with prices points higher to 4
points lower. On some days of the
week the market gave evidences of a
turn for better prices, but the upward
movement has not yet become very pro-
nounced.
The New York Stock Exchange was
closed during the day. being the only
commercial institution in New York
closed. The feature of interest in that
market is the question whether the de-
tails of the steel combine will be officially
announced before Monday. The follow
ing resume of the different markets will
show the tone and quotations at the clos
ing to-day:

prices Sharply upwards, from which there
was slow decline to the close, which
was barely steady on selling from the
Southwest. American speculation does
not follow the Liverpool advance, because
OF the conditions of the goods market,
and the absence of demand for cotton.
The large discounts in Liverpool prevent
exporters from buying freely, as they
can find no hedge for their purchases.
This reaction was expected, and we are
now facing the same problem as before
without any new light. Trade here grows
worse instead of better. and the stocks
do not move from the interior towns.

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes barely Steady
With Prices Points Up tn
e on

New York, Feb. 23.-Considerably higher
prices were reached in cotton to-day.
The market opened firm. to points
higher on active buying for both accounts
from nearly all quarters. The influences
at work were strongly in favor of bulls
speculation, The most potent factor be-
ing a better ruling of the English market
over the holiday than expected. At the
time of our opening Liverpool was fully
two points higher than figured to be fair
response to Thursdays rise here. The
bull cables were accompanied by generous
sized buying ord rs, chiefly May and
July. Continued small port and interior
receipts, claims that Southern markets
were Is to 3-16c higher on improved de-
mand for export and domestic mill ac
count, together with more cheerful cloth
trade news swept away props of bear
confidence and led to a hasty further re-
treat. The wave of buyn g carried May
to GIG and July to 9.17. Thereafter more
or less irregularity was noted, due to light
fiurries of profit-taking whi were in
varably followed by new bursts of COW
ering. For Saturday h7lf-hoiday trad
ing was active and speculation as whole
was healthy. Sentiment in local circles
was somewhat mixed after the first hour,
the pit - cognz ng the fact til" t the mar
ket had had 25-point reaction from the
recent break and that the weak shcrts
were pretty well wecded out. Yet con-
ditions were bu'lish beyond question,
serving to arrest selling from a decline.
The market clos d barely steady, 8
points higher to 4 points lower. having
eased off in the last few minutes under
