COTTON.

The cotton market closed easier, with
sales on the spot of 1868. The tendency
has been downward throughout the week,
with Indifference generally manifested in
both the local and interior markets. Flu
lures ruled quiet and easy, showing de-
clines on most days, with a further drop
of TO 10 points to-day, with the tone
steady. Owing to the unsettled condition
of the futures market the entire situation
reflected gloom, and was not relieved I'M
I'll Thursday when Ellison issued bull
ISL statement on consumption, which serv-
cd to bring about a short-iived rally. Feel
ing is divided owing to the uncertainty
of the movement during the next few
weeks. Ii is currently believed that large
amounts of cotton are being held for
rally, and in the event of further declines
these holdings may be dumped upon the
market with disastrous effect. In many
quarters, however, feeling is decidedly OPP
timistic. Good middling f. o. b, was

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes Steady With
Prices @ to 10 Points Lower.


Prices @ to 10 Points Lower.
New York, March 15.-Cotton worked
lower to-day under a fresh show of bear
power, and a nervous retreat of bulls,
who, yesterday, scored a signal advance.
Liverpool was higher than expected when
our market opened and exerted steady
ing influence for a brief period though
initial prices were net points higher to
2 points lower There was a dearth of
investment in the hands of commission
brokers, and the bull element was not ag-
gressive. Shorts were quick to profit by
the lack of speculative support and sew
eral times raided the market before the
noon hour. The result of these selling
movements was a sharp decline through
out the list, noon bids showing a net loss
of SQ11 points. For the rest of the ses-
sion local shorts were virtually In possess
sion of the pit, but were content to allow
the market to follow its own inclinations,
so long as that leaning was toward lower
prices. Fresh selling of a bear nature in
variably developed upon every sign of a
rally. Europe bought around the opening
and smaller shorts covered thereafter
the South, the West, room operators and
German interests sold The local spot
market was very active, sales reaching
1160O bales, the largest single days trans
actions in months. At the close the mar
ket was steady, and net 6G10 points lower.

The Morning News Office,
pa. Friday, March Is.

The downward tendency of the cotton
markets was the feature in trade cir
cIes during the past week. What gives
IMPORTANCE in financial circles to the
steady but violent break in prices, s
the large advances which have been
made in many sections of the South
against cotton, and the consequent
strain on holders, which may in some
instances enforce offerings. While it
is POSSIBLE that a further drop in prices
may bring out what cotton remains Ia
the interior and at the ports, it is never
tneless true that much of the unsold crop
has either passed into the control of the
banks, or is being held by individuals
who are able to carry it to finish. So
far the offerings have been moderate
from the interior, and no evidences of
scare have appeared as result of the
drop.
The turpentine market closed firm TO-
day at 351sc, with a light business re-
ported. The demand was light Resins

the week The wholesale markets ruled

lowing resume of the markets will show
