COTTON 'NAkkET
 GOING DOWNWARD. The Cables and General In1u- ence Were Disappointing. RALLIES FEW AND FEEBLE There Was Less Pressure In Way of Liquidation, and On Low Prices
 There Was Some Buying On
 Long Account.
RALLIES FEW AND FEEBLE

New York, March 2O.-The cotton mar cables being disappointing and the gen eral influence much the same as they were yesterday when they were gen. orally adverse. About the only support had was derived from covering by con servative shorts, but us a class the local traders were more inclined to sell, and with a few feeble rallies at long inter vals, the market gradually declined until a loss of 50D1z points was scored.
 There was less pressure in the way of liquidation and on the comparatively low prices, the lowest for many months past, there was some buying for long account. But most of the time the market was small with trading confined to room oper- ators. Indications of continued heavy port and interior receipts and further adverse accounts from cotton goods gave weak undertone to the general situation. The close was quiet and steady at about the lowest point of the day, the net decline being 4Q12 points.
 New York, March 20.-Cotton quiet middling S7-16. Net receipts 200; gross 5252; sales 3136; stock 153, 100; exports to Great Britain 1884, to the continent ess.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, March 2o.-A rather un- usual amount of trading was done in the spot cotton market after hours last even ing, the result of which will be included in todays record of sales, but this morn ing the market opened quiet and distinct 1y heavy, for while factors appeared to be willing sellers at an additional decline, buyers evinced a marked disposition to hold off and await further developments, and refused to be tempted to operate freely even by offers of concessions rang ing from 1-16c to bc below yesterdays prices. The sales were 4550 bales. Prices 1sc lower than yesterday.
 The market for contracts showed fair degree of activity with the short interest still in the ascendancy. These operators who went in on the long side at the close last evening, in anticipation of reac- tion in values today, were sadly disap- pointed, for though Liverpool opened at even figures for spots and partial 1-64d higher for contracts, giving promise of better things to come, they were not re- alized, the market showing net loss on the day of to Il points.

New York. March 20.--The Commercial Advertisers financial cablegram.
 The stock market here suffered a gen. eral depression today under the influence of news of Botha's declination of the terms offered for peace in South Africa and of the definite announcement that von Waldersee had failed to arrange the differences at Tien Tsin. Both London and Paris sold consols short. but nobody in the city takes really serious view of the situation, which undoubtedly will be set tied amicably. American shares began dull, but the selling here was soon stop- ped by buying orders from New York, es- pecially in the Atchisons, Union Pacifics and Southern Railways. A very steady improvement ensued until at the close, the rather bad news from China causing the market to ease off.
 American bridge stock spurted. the pre- ferred AZ points to par on the announce ment thae it would be included In the United States Steel Company. On the talking of 110 for the stock, Berlin bought Northern Pacifics, but took profits else- where in the list.
 Of gold, 10000 pounds is being exported to South American ports.
 The call loan rate was 303A; bills 35s. The market is still borrowing freely from the bank.

Murphvl & Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York; March 2O.-The market this morning opened very strong and active, with the dealings widely distributed. Strength was noticeable among the coal stocks. with Reading and others showing strength. Among the railroad shares ad- vances extended all the way from A to F per cent, and the Changers were the lead CTS in activity and fluctuations. The To- cal Fractions were higher on a revival of the rumors of pending deals. The early morning news was favorable, with the exception of the statement that Gen. eral Botha had refused to accept the new British terms of peace. The London market, with the exception of the Amer ican quarters. was depressed. There was no news overnight bearing on particular stocks, although the usual budget of ru- mors regarding various deals was in cir culation and was accompanied by semi official denials, which received very little consideration.
