NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.


New York, Feb. S-Hubbard Bros &
Co. say: AS expected Liverpool was a
shade better than yesterday, which
brought the usual amount of arbitrage
buying from abroad, but not any in
crease in the outside interest in the mar
ket. Receipts at the ports and the amount
in sight were about equal to current views.
In fact all the factors were of the same
general character as have appeared dur
ing the past few days, and not of the
nature to bring about any decided change
in opinion regarding the future course of
prices. The market awaits some change
in trade conditions to revive an active
demand for cotton from spinners on the
continent, and in America. With such a
dull market the local temper is to dock
forward TO a revival of speculation, and
of trade rather than for u pressure to

HESTER'S COTTON STATEMENT
Movement of The Crop for Week ana
SeasOn-Receipts Rt the Ports
and ExpOrts

New Orleans Feb. S.-Secretary Hester's
weekly New Orleans Cotton Exchange
statement issued to-day shows the move
ment Of cotton into sight this week com
pared with the seven days ending this
date last year, in round figures, is $4,000.
For the eight days of February the to-
tai shows decrease under last year of
$1,000
or For the 161 days of the season that
have collapsed the aggregate is ahead of
the116I days of last year, $4,000.
The amount brought into sight during
the past week has been 1869, against
249, 399 for the seven days ending this date
last year These make the total move
ment for the 161 days of the season from
Sept. l to date 7,SO4,213 against 7.135, 40
last year.
The movement since Sept. / shows re-
ceipts at all United States ports $685. GIL,
against 1904 1928 last year; overland across
the Mississippi, Ohio and Potomac river
to Northern mills and Canada. S74, 1856.
against e55 All last year. Interior stocks
in excess of those held at the close OF the
commercial year 645,SO2, against 1888, 729
last year; Southern mill taklngs, 77S065,
against 7S9 S21 last year.
Foreign exports for the week have been
1892 against 1872 last year, making the
total thus far for the season 1865
against 3,523 451 last year.
The total takings of American mills,
North and South and Canada so far for
the season have been 1928 4S2, against
2,5S1 213 last year.
Stocks at the seaboard and the twenty
nine leading Southern interior centers
have decreased during the week 1872 bales
against a decrease the corresponding
period last year of 1850 Including stocks
left over at ports and interior towns from
the last crop and the number of bales
brought into sight thus far for the new
crop, the supply to date is 7,926742 against
7,754,0i7 for the same period last year.

New Orleans, Feb. S.-As early Liver
pool advices were favorable our market
opened to points higher, advanced / to
additional on shorts covering. Suisse
quently declined to on realizing, reach
ed to on the light weekly movements,
but eased off slightly near the close
making the net gain to points on the
day. Secretary Hester's Texas crop state
ment for January shows that 3S4,0O were
delivered this year, against 272,O00 last
year, and the amount brought into sight
from September / to January 81, inclusive,
was 2,677 000, against 2089,000 last year or
an increase of 7SS, 900 over last year. Con-
sequently as last year from now out
500, 600 bales were marketed and as 3,377, 900
have already come into sight, therefore if
we make no allowance for holding back
and say the same amount IL to come for
ward as last year, it will Indicate a Texas
crop of $4,000. The analysis shows that
the states. outside of Texas have mar
keted only 10000 less than last year during
the same time, and as during the whole
of last year these states contributed
6S45,00 to the crop, If we assume there Is
no holding back and as they only show a
loss of 10000 during the first five months
it is reasonable to suppose they will mar
ket practically as much as last year, for
the balance of the season, or aggregate
about 6S45 900. Assuming that the line of
argument is a logical one, these figures
would point to a crop of 10,22i000.

The undertone of the cotton market was

IN one or two days the tone was firm

from the interior were fairly liberal,

The impression now seems to be quite

cultivation this coming spring, says the
New York Commercial, and it is feared
If will be carried to such an extent that
the production will exceed the consump-
tive demand enough to reduce the price
of cotton below it's cost limit. The
Southern press is taking up the matter
with considerable seriousness, and is urg
ing cotton planters not to disregard the
policy they have heretofore been pursuing
Of deyoting much attention to diversified
agriculture.
The Cotton Ginners' Journal, Waco,
Tex, intimates that the cotton growers
Of that state ARE fairly intoxicated with
the prosperity of the year just closed, and
are preparing to plant the earth in cot
ton this year" 1t warns the growers
against anything of this kind, as it IS
manifest, even to the casual observer,
that all cotton kept the South poor, and
that intelligent diversification of crops
being along broad lines had as much to
do with the existing prosperity of Texas
and in the other states as had last sea-
sons price for cotton"
This warning is by no means confined
4 to our Waco contemporary, but it is to
& be met with in the press throughout the
South, and is consistent with that which
s was impressed upon those in attendance
3 at the late convention of Southern cot
E ion growers in Georgia by Mr.. Hoke
Smith and Pope Brown. president of the
Georgia Agricultural Society.
1t would be one of the greatest mis-
taxes the Southern planter could do, that
s ef giving his whole attention to the Gull
s. walton of cotton, and neglect what is
needed for his family and animals, and
be obliged to resort to outside sources for
Il such necessary supplies.

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes Quiet With Prices
, Points up to on

New York, Feb. S.-Hedging and profit
taking We're popular in local cotton trade
circles to-day. The market, while steady
to firm throughout the session, failed to
go very far in either direction, and at
best speculation was conservative.
The market opened steady, with prices
lac points higher and improved several
points additional Immediately after the
call on covering and a momentary furry
of investment support, the latter led by
Wal-street commission interests. But
holders turned to profits and before these
offerings had been absorbed prices were
down some 6Q7 points
Covering caused a partial rally in the
afternoon, but during the rest of the ses-
sion changes were comparatively narrow
and business dragged. The opening ca
bles were about as expected, but later ad-
vices reflected decided strength in the
English market with prices 2 points high
er than looked for. This firmness abroad
together with smaller short receipts than
estimated, was the basis for the buying
around the opening. Southern dispatches
stated that spot holders were asking
prices, but for good grades. Mill reports
were disappointing in that they showed
accommodating stocks of cloths and yarns.
At the close the market was quiet, with
prices net points higher to points lower.

The selection of Hon. Blackburn
Smith as the democratic nominee for
the House of Delegates seems to have
met with the hearty appreciation of
the Warren county papers
The Sentinel, in referring editorial
ly to the nomination, says, "The Sc
lection is very excellent one. Mr..
Smith is young lawyer of ability, a
graceful and pleasing speaker and a
man eff integrity and high character.
He studied law at the University of
Va. and has been in its practice at
Berryyille for ten years. He served
in the Spanish war, and upon his re-
turn was elected Mayor of Berryville.
The phenomenal large percentage of
votes which he received in the Clarke
primary sufficiently sttests the high
esteem In which he is held by his own
people. We predict that he will
make for us useful representative,
and bespeak for him the cordial sup
port of every democrat in Warren
county"
The Register says it will with pleas
ure support Mr.. Smith.
