New Orleans, La, March S.-Liverpool
advances were more favorable than ex-
pected, the improvement being due to
shorts covering and many playing for
reaction, thinking prices are low enough
for the present. Our market in sympathy
opened to points higher declined 8
shortly after on the large movement, but
advanced subsequently on better feel
ing in spots, closing at a net gain of 10
points.
The semi-weekly interior receipts point
to $4,000, against II goo last year. and the
indicated loss in stock looks like 1900,
against 1900 it is natural that a reaction
should be established efter such continu-
Gus and sharp decline and a further en-
hancement may In all probability be re-
allied There is, however, nothing in the
situation to encourage any material ed-
vance, trade conditions have not improved
any, but on the contrary, the only bright
spot was Lancashire, and the recent adj
vices from there show that their turn has
come to feel the effects of the unsatis-
factory demand and the relatively high
price of raw cotton as compared to values
obtainable for the manufactured product.
These spurts are to be anticipated from
time to time, yet it is questionable wheth-
er the current level can be maintained In
the face of the continued heavy receipts
and the restricted demand for spots.

opened moderately active and with irreg-

Buying orders appeared from that quar-

in local dealings appeared to be con-
tinuation of prices which prevailed at the
close. The local traction stocks were un-

railway shares were St. Paul and the

stocks the movements. however, were
slight and irregular. Sugar again furnish

The feature of the markets to-day was
, turn in cotton futures, which closed
steady at an advance of Z to IA points.
What this partial reaction really signifies
remains to be seen. but there are many
of the trade who believe that it is time
for the better and who are therefore in
clined to view the improvement as the
turning point for a substantial recovery.
Nothing In the movement indicates any

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter

New York, March 26-At the decline in
Liverpool this morning there appeared
more support from the larger merchants,
who felt the drop had gone far enough,
and that a sharp reaction would be due
at any time. This action quickly found
response in our market where the local
traders also felt prices should steady after
such a break as yesterday. Their sup
port assisted in bringing about a reac-
ton. Commission houses were buyers
rather than sellers. while the supply came
from reversing of straddles and hedging
against cotton bought yesterday IN the
South. The semi-weekly movement prom
ises to be about the same as last week,
a great increase over last year. This re-
action would seem to have reduced the
local short interest, judging from the
current opinion as a guide. On the broad
outlook falling off in the interior move
ment is needed together with an improve
ment in trade TO inspire confidence.
