New York, March H-Cotton in Liv-
erpool advanced 1-S2d, on spots, and to
3-64d, on futures and so Chased. The
rise is attributed to leading shorts COW
ering on account of the Elison's bullish
report on the worlds visible supply
March l, on all kinds, 10000 bales under
a year ago, which many think is an err
ror, as his annual circular in February
only mode the deficiency $4,000 bales.
However, this news influenced liberal
buying from local shorts, prices opening
to points over lest night. There
was reaction of 3 to points throughout
the session, but prices hardened to-
ward the close, showing a gain of to
points over last night Receipts con-
tinue fairly liberal, which is circulating
a speculative buying. Estimated port re
ceipts, 19,OO0 gainst 1900 last year. New
Orleans expects tomorrow 5000 TO 1000,
against 5,4s5; Houston, 5000 to $500,
against 1009.

NEW ORLEANS coTroN FUTURES.


New York, March Hubbard Bros. g.
Co. say of cotton: Liverpool reacted on
the publication of Ellison's circular in
which he called attention to the decrease
in the visible supply of American cotton,
visible and invisible, as compared with
last season at this time. At the begin
ming of the year the deficiency was in ex-
cess of 100000 bales, but by reason of
larger American crop a larger import of
East Indian cotton and reduced consump-
ton by the American mills, the deficient
cy has been reduced TO these figures. Mr..
Itllison thinks the decline in prices since
March l, and the disappearance of prem
iuns on the immediate will stimulate the
consumption of cotton. Those views caus-
ed the higher opening and the better bus.
mess of the morning, but the market re-
lapsed into dullness at lower quotations
when the movement appeared, and it was
realized that trade must improve to slim
ulate consumption, not a decIinig market
which leaves every spinner with cotton
ard goods on hand showing a loss. The
reaction has caused the local trade 20
cover and advocate the old policy of buy
ing on reactions.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

Trading in the sea island cotton market
continues inactive. The demand is light
from all sources. The trading being done
al present is in lots dumped on the mar
Het by dissatisfied holders, who seem to
oe willing to take the prices their cotton

SHOWN by the sea island syndicate against
savannah in favor of interior markets is
probably the strongest factor of the pres

pretty steady buying has been done for
several weeks past In the interior mar
Aets at slight advance on local prices.
II is said the syndicate is endeavoring to
even up old scores with the Savannah
market for putting up prices on consum-

sea island cotton have adopted the

carrying large stocks. Whether they will
