COTTON MARKET SHOWED STRENGTH Was Not So Favsrable to the
 Bear Interest SHORTS WERE HOLDER They Were Inclined to Follow Up Ag. grecsive Methods Pursued During the Past Few Days and Force
 Pricco Down.

New York. February 14-The cotton market today, as whole was not so favorable to the bear interest as of late, and, whereas, forenoon events on Change appeared to greatly favor shots, the later developments put the over-sold faction to flight at the same time creat- ing a feeling of friendliness towards the market investment circles. The cables were rather better than expected and the receipts at the ports were smaller than estimated. Oi thes influences the mar ed to points higher,
 Shorts were inclined to follow up the aggressive methods pursued during the past few days and soon after the call forced prices slowly do~lnw"id until March touched 004c and May 9.05c. But soon after midday tre market changed over from bear domintion to bull vanced 10 points, March reaching 9.14c and May 9.15c before the demands of frightened pit shorts were anywhere near appeased Rumors that Neill was short ly to issue bullish circular and small estimates for tomorrow's New Orleans and Houston receipts were the cause for the buying. On the upturn conservative buying by commission account came to light and the export interests supported March and May with fair show of con- fidence. At the close the market was steady, with prices net to Il points higher.

 ran & Co.,:
 New York. February H.-Cables came rather better than expected but there was no support to the market early and values soon sagged down to below the low level of yesterday. Shorts however showed no desire to press their advan- tage further just now. On the other hand, owing to the feeling and hav' become so unanimously bearish ,ae commenced 10 coves causing a heah reaction, which was helped along later | lighter estimates for tomorrow at Hous. ton and New Orleans. At Houston 400O to 5000 bales are exp~..ed, against 6316 and 52s6 bales one week and a ye..r aga At New Orleans $500 to $500 bales are expect cd, against 5694 and 1921 bales Port re- ceipts fairly liberal today. 2l,Sl6 bales, against 19.1S9 and 2c.9o5.

tide. but 1t remained for the shorts themselves to do it.
 The persistent selling of March, how ever, forcing that month to a discount. no doubt, discouraged the bull element, and this does not forecast a permanent advance in the near future. though It makes the situation more normal and should encourage outside trade.
 There is on doubt a big short interest In the near months, but 1t is thought to be mostly among the holders of the cot ton delivered in January. It is quite gen. erally expected large deliveries will be made on March contracts which may fnl back Into the hands of the parties that brought 1t here last month Market closed at the top of the day. and 1t looks tonight as If 1t will have some further reaction, possibly 10 10 15 points more. but the situation in general, as we have com mented upon for some weeks. remains unchanged. and we believe advantage should be taken of the bulge to make sales again.
