Lee & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D. cotl

Lee x Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D. Goth
 ran & Co.
 New York March 6.-The action of sto- days market again proved the difficulty of trying to bull something purely on sen- news was favorable enough. The early cables came much better than expected; with spot sales in Liverpool of 12,O0O bales, at 1-16d advance. It was thought this would start some short covering, or bring outside buying orders, but the opening was tame and the cotton that was bought yesterday on the reaction theory was for sale and more too, hold CTS evidently not caring to wait for fur ther advances. Later cables lost half of the early advance and started additional selling, causing break to the low point of yesterday and very weak closing with many of the opinion that values will work to under 815 cents before another reac- tion can be expected, which seems likely. Short covering the last few days more than anything else has held the market above there and this makes the situation all the weaker as even that support will be lacking The only thing In favor of another rally Is the feeling on the bear side Is too general Even the bulls who a month ago could see no reason for a decline to under cents level, now see no hope for an advance to there again. The fact of the matter is the majority have only to realize what was plainly evident weeks ago and as will be remem- bered we noted repeatedly In our letter.

LITTLE INTEREST IN COTTON MARKET Scarcely Any Attempt to Bring
 About a Rally PUBLIC KEPT OUT OF 1T Covering By Pit Shorts Caused Slight Advance at the Beginning, But Investment Support Would
 Not Sustain 1t.
PUBLIC KEPT OUT OF II

New York, March 6.-Public interest in cotton was conspicuous by It's absence today and scarcely any attempt was made to bring about a rally from the late half cent decline notwithstanding the fact that the crop movement for the day fell short of expectations and that early market news reflected a changs for the better in sentiment abroad. On first sales prices worked up 9 to points, with the market showing fair stability
 Covering by pit shorts as a matter of precaution, led to a further rise of 3 to points immediately following the call but investment support was not tempted in by the bullish news above mentioned and the public in general appeared to have given cotton up for the time being Liverpool turned a sharp corner in find ing the trade here opposed to an advance and furnished numerous selling orders to representatives In the pit. The South and West, which had bought small lines of May and July on the initial advice, turned sellers and not only unloaded en- tire holdings, but became progressively bearish as well. Trading was light most OI the session.
 Noon found prices down to points from last nights closing. Then estimates for light New Orleans and Houston re- ceipts tomorrow gave the market a slight stiffening, but still later there was renewal of selling for both accounts and sag in prices to the noon level. The official reports from Southern spot mar kets indicated no real strength there In the last half hour the local market was feverish and weak, German selling and pressure from professionals. The close was barely steady, with prices unchanged to points lower

New York, March 6.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says
 Business on the Stock Exchange re- mained narrow and dull today. The pub lie remains shy but the early expectation of peace in South Africa seems to grow and spread.
 American shares were prominent in the dealings. London was buying Erie and Reading issues. New York sold Southern Railway, both common and pre- ferred, and the Erie issues, and bought Atchison preferred Gold to the amount of f35,000 was imported from Egypt; the bank bought f1S,Oo0 in bars, received f60OO from Turkey and is shipping f25,OoO to South Africa
 Money was hard. both call and discount being 35s per cent on the expectation Of a big loan by the county council.

New Orleans Cotton Market,

New Orleans, March 6.-At the Cotton Exchange today the market again tried to react and as far as futures were con- cerned there was disposition shown to improve on the least encouragement. The spot market was the weak spot in the situation, however, and operators gener- ally admit that more weakly held spot goods must be unloaded before any sub stantial improvement can be looked for While the recent decline has apparently developed a better demand for actual cotton offerings from Southern markets continue plentiful and prices continue to slump, indicating that there is some anx- iety to unload at the larger point, all though it is claimed that holders in the interior in general are still adverse to sacrificing their holdings.
 Liverpool came in decidedly stronger for both spots and futures early in the day and there were reports of better de- mand for cotton from the continent which Is rather contradictory of recent advices from that part of the world. In fact, spinners in South Germany are re- ported to be preparing for short time for the next three months. The local mar ket opened in sympathy with the early advices from Liverpool, but this was soon lost. owing to less favorable advices from abroad. Subsequently there was again some improvement due to a light estimate for New Orleans receipts for Thursday, but the liberal semi weekly in terior movement soon caused renewed weakness, particularly as advices were not reassuring.
 The local market for spot cotton was quiet and prices were quotably unchang- ed. Some inquiry has been developed by the decline. The sales aggregated 5250 bales, of which 2900 were sold to arrive. Deliveries on contracts reached 300 bales
 The market for futures opened to 9 points up, in sympathy with Liverpool, but promptly declined g points, owing to weakness developing in the foreign mar ket, due to heavy offerings from this side Later there was an advance of 4 points, which was subsequently, lost. The close showed a net loss for the day of l to2 points.

The usual accompaniment of a boom
is in evidence in the neighborhood of
the Misunderstanding. Mr.. J. T.

Rambler, purchased from Mr.. Richie
an extension of the great mine. When
the patent survey Of the Rambler was
made two weeks ago it was disclosed
that the discovery shaft Of the said ex'
tension was about forty feet inside OF
the end lines Of the Rambler. Prompt.

So far the existence of the same sur.

has been shown up for a distance of
six miles. There can be no reasonable
doubt Of at least four big shippers in
the Rambler vicinity before snow

a very rich copper strike has been
made which is focusing attention to

Prof. H. c. Beeler, the state geolo,
gist. has entered actively upon his
work and is now planning trips over
the state during which he will collect
all possible data relating to mines and
the mining industry of Wyoming, and
in his report compile this data IN a
uniform manner so as to give a bet
ter idea of the industry than has ever
been had before. He has sent copies
of the following circular letter to all
state officers, members of the legisla-
ture, newspapers and mine owners
throughout the state:

Dear sir: The enclosed extracts
from the aw passed by the last legis-
lature, creating the Office of state se-
ologist, are sent to draw your atten-
ion to the establishment of the office
and to request your cooperation in
making it effective.
1t is the intention to visit the vari-
Gus mining and mineral localities of
the state from time to time and collect
such data relating to the mines and
mining projects of the state as may be
available and useful in advertising the
mineral wealth of our state in a reli-
able and at the same time interesting
manner.
The state geologist will be glad to
answer all inquiries relating to the
ground to be covered by this office and
the mines of the state and also to re-
ceive reliable information in regard to
the same. Any information forward
ed for instruction and not intended
for publication will be considered as
confidential and kept private.

CENTER OF PROSPEROUS
MINING COUNTRY

J.. c. Thompson returned yesterday
from a trip through the mining dis,
tricts tributary to Laramie, having Wis
tied Jelm. says the Cheyenne Tribune.
He reports that the entire country in
the vicinity Of the places mentioned is
swarming with ~prospectors, their tents
being visible for miles in every direc-
ton from points where good proper
ties have been discovered.
The Rambler district is filling up
with claims. and several properties
show better prospects than did the
Rambler at the same depth. At Jelm
a large number Of p~rospectors are at
work, and the Queen Bee Mining com,
pany's properties and mill are being
worked.
In the Horse creek country, where
the Swigart-Baker mine is located, a
number Of other properties are being
opened up. Laramie bids fair to be-
come the center of a prosperous min,
ing country.
