NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
Confident Feeling of Outlook for
Steadier Tone.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

SPECIAL.
New York. March 15.-In the cotton mar
ket to-day. there was very little change in
the character of trading. the same better
feeling prevailing. and the outlook for a
steadier tone more hopeful.
For the first time this week and since the
decline began last month. the bear element
became less confident Of their position. and
We're inclined to take advantage of any
weakness to cover obligations.
Both yesterday and to-day purchases for
large shorts proved the feature Of the trade
and this unsettled many of those who re-
fused to cover cotton on the decline of Tues
day and Wednesday.
From many points of view this nervous
ness was regarded as the best indications
of greater steadiness and evidence of the
resistance to pressure.
With the amount of cotton left In the
South uncertain. the new crop not planted
yet and a liberal short interest in the mar
ket, both speculative and against cotton,
the situation Is less certain than recently,
and both market interests are progressing
cautiously.

ample of the preceding week, the market began
on a stronger basis under keen local compete
ton and gradually assembled TO a higher tone.
Average sales were fully l0l15c In advance OF
the operations last week. with some Individual
buncaes making even q stronger showing. the
top for feeding steers being 50. against S4.i5 the
week before. In every essential feature the week
closed firm. and excellent cLearances of the ar
rivals were Accomplished each day.

not half as many as were needed to meet the
requirements Of the trade. which are now larger

of Western and Mexican sheep and lambs was
on sale. but the representation Of natives was
very small, and choice lambs were scarce. The
market was strong each DAY. and lambs are n
shade higher than n week ago and good sheep
1o129c higher. The demand is best for light.
handy weights. and big. heavy lambs and sheep
are not quite SO ready sale. Buyers also COM
plain that some Of the Colorado. Mexican and
Western offerings are a little too heavy. Mt on
