New York. February 2T-The buying of March was the feature again today. The same parties, however, who were such conspicuous buyers. yesterday took but little part in 1t today. It seemed to be a sudden desire among a few scattered shorts to get into avoid possible manipu- lation. The trading In this month is so very small now that 1t is difficult to buy any amount without causing more than the usual advance. The leading shorts appear to buy only when the market gets very weak. They need show no anxiety, as they have the cotton, but we believe they will cover as the opportunity of fers and put out again for the latter months. Rather hard though, to see where any money Is to be made out of this with May and all the other months at discounut and carrying charges ac- cumulatlng all the time. It Is figured this amounts to about $30, coo each month. Of course a demand may spring Up which will enable them to obtain relatively higher prices for the spot cotton, and this is no doubt what they are hoping for. May sold down to S.93 again today, which seems to be the peg, though there was no pressure on the market from any quarter.
 The bears were probably influenced by the rather light showing of todays port receipts, and estimates for Houston to- morrow, port receipts being only 15,846 against 19,141 and 35,217 last week and last year. The big movement towards the ports year ago ended with Febru- ary. At Houston 3,000 to $500 bales are expected against 4,449 and 2,394. which, however, signifies nothing. The quick advance in March helped the later months more than anything else and un- less there develops more than did today we believe sales should be made again on any future advance.

Financial.

New York. February T.-The Commer- cial Advertisers London financial cable gram:
 There was no improvement in business in the stock market here to-day, but the tone was steady. News of General Frenchs victory at Middleburg, the cap- ture of 300 men, three guns and great quantity of stores, reached London too late to affect anything except the street for Africans.
 The American department was more cheerful than 1t has been for some days in the early hours, but when New York opened and sent over heavy selling orders in Union Pacific, the market here broke badly There was a general rally how ever, in the street, after our close on the purchase for New York exercises of St. Paul issues and the circulation again of reports that the Hill deal was being re- Vived.
 The bank bought 5000 pounds of gold In bars.
 Money rates were unaltered; the bank Is still monopolizing the business done,
 Revenue returns show that 7,700,o0O pounds have been taken out of the mar ket during the week and used to repay the bank loans borrowed some time ago. Money Is expected to be still tighter, that is payday on the Stock Exchange and the end of the month.

SHORTS OYERRUN
 COTTON MARKET They Failed to Gain Anything
 By the Advantage PRICES SOON BROKE DOWN In Face of Bullish Cables and Unusu. ally Small Receipts Shorts Started
 at tie Beginning to Sell Near Months.
PRICES SOON BROKE DOWN

New York, February 27.-Though shorts had things pretty much their own way during the early session on the Cotton Exchange to-day. they no more than succeeded in Increasing obligations, and in shaking out a small remaining short interest, thereby placing the market in a singularly good position to rally on the slightest bull pretext. The latter came ln the afternoon. In the face of fairly bullish Liverpool cables and unusually small receipts at the ports, shorts started in on the opening to sell the near speculative support. The market, while about steady In tone, went off about points under these conditions and soon after the call broke several points lower At midday weak undertone was ap- parent with the net loss a matter of , to 10 points, Later estimates for to-mor- rows receipts at New Orleans and Hous- ton were inside of expectations while rumor gained currency that a strong bull clique had been formed to advance March. A scramble to cover, which later grew into small bearish stampede sent prices to 15 points higher with the market feverishy active and firm. The fear that Liverpool would take advantage of our strength to work upward in the morning impelled shorts to redouble their efforts, while commission houses figured quite prominently in the last hour as buyers of May and July. The south also furnished fair number of buying orders Very few March notices were put out and those published were quickly by strong houses
 At the close the market was quiet in tone with prices net to points higher on near months and l to ? points lower on far months.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, February 27.-The spot cotton market was fairly active after hours" last evening, something like 2500 bales of the staple changing hands at about the quoted range of prices. But today it opened with an easier feeling and trading was very light during the forenoon. The heavy condition of the con tract market declining values at Liver pool and continuance of liber>l receipts from plantations and uncounted towns, even without taking Into account the per ssb --- of preparatinns for short time work in the mills on both sides of the Atlantic have served to place the trade in very uncertain position and buyers are very chary as to the expec- tation of discretionary orders. Factors however are holding up their end of the line very we'll A decided dullne ss pre- vailed during the early part of the day in the market for contracts for the flu ture delivery of. cotton, and though there were frequent fluctuations during the forenoon covering. a range of 8 to 4 points, operators were disposed to hold or and let well enough alone, with the result that the trading was confined prin- cipally to few small closing out deals and an occasional scalp.
 Under the influence of a break of 1-32d in spots and partial 1-64 in deliveries at Liverpool and sympathetic decline at the metropolis the market opened down to points, and fell off ii points net additionally during the forenoon, after f1uctuating mildly as above stated A sharp demand set in and the market closed points higher than yesterday
