COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 2.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices to 5
points higher on a furry of covering
and light Wall street buying. prompted
by firm Liverpool cables and light port
receipts. Yet soon after the call the
bear leaders took advantage of tame
speculative support to depress the sum-
mer months. May was sold down to
S.14c and July to S76c, before buyers
OF consequence could be induced to
support the market. Liverpool res
sponded to the heaviness here by de-
Ginning a bare half point, which was
later regained, and Europe bought
near months here to undo straddles
made several months ago. The South
sent bullish reports as to the temper
of Southern spot markets and advices
from spinning centers were most en-
courasing so far as demand for cloths
and yarns were concerned. A light es-
innate for to-morrow's Houston re-
ceipts made little or no impression On
the market at the close of the first
hour, and ii was not until midday
that decided strength was manifested.
Shorts then appeared to get wind of
d light estimate for to-morrow's New
Orleans receipts, not due to appear
until 1890. In an attempt to cover,
prices advanced to the opening level.
For the rest of the session the ten
dency was steadily upward with The
advance particularly active in the last
hour when shorts were driven in by
export clearances of AZ 900 bales. these
following clearances Yesterday of 49,
900 bales, and being three times larger
than port receipts. The close was
very steady with prices net to
points higher.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 2.-Liverpool made
an unexpectedly good showing this
morning, apparently on a growing con-
viction that the decreased receipts are.
after all, due more to depletion than
to the recent interruption of traffic.
The estimates for to-day in receipts
We're favorable to higher prices, but
Notwithstanding the strengthened in
lf1uences New York opened disappoint-
ingly dull and Indifferent. Early pur-
chases were met by a continuation of
liquidation. noted since the beginning
of the week, and the slight gains were
quickly lost, the market after the first
ten minutes ruled around last nights
close. Sentiment was undeniable bull
ish, but believers in an ultimately high
range of values were apparently wait
ing for some indications of the per-
manency of recent comparatively light
movement. and it would also seem safe
to assert that there is a distinct ten
dency on the part of many holders to
calmly await the time when. in their
opinion, the mills must inevitably bid
up the value of their holdings. Per-
haps a fair statement of the prevailing
sentiment is contained in the argu-
ment that while a crop of around TO-
$50, 900 probable. so long as the South
is able to sell spots for prompt deliv
cry around cents, cotton is cheap at
the present New York prices.

New Orleans, April 2.-Liverpool
advices were more favorable than
looked for, consequently our market
opened to higher but lost the I'M
provement shortly after on longs re-
alizing. The free exports to-day when
posted, served as an impetus to buy
ing later, causing an advance of to
8 from the bottom margin, making a
gain of points on the day. The move
ment is very light, and it now looks
as if the amount which will be brought
into sight during the week will range
around $4,000, as compared to $4,000
last year. Exporters are buying spar
ingly in the interior. accounting prin-
cipally for the small receipts. Senti-
ment continues bullish, yet for the mo-
ment outsiders do not exhibit any ca
gerness to enter into new engagements.
Receipts, however, will evidently gov
ern the future course of values.

The Morning News ONCE,
Wednesday,, April 2.
The cotton market showed some
strength to-day, though the entire adj
vance was not held, and the market
continued sensitive to the slightest of
adverse developments. The strike sit
nation is now playing an important
mart in the shaping of sentiment and
is by far the most potent factor in the
cotton situation at the moment. Re-
norts last night indicated big shut
down at Augusta, with about 5000 OPP
eratives out of employment. The be-
lief is that this and other strikes will
be followed by sympathetic movements
until a suspension will extend to many
large milling sections. In fact, some
look for a strike fever in the South,
such as is now raging in Fall River.
What the policy of Southern mill men
will be is uncertain, but judging from
the turn of matters at Augusta an
amicable adjustment of wage differ
ences may not be expected. At New
York cotton futures closed 3@7 points
higher.
Turpentine closed firm at 4411c. Ros-
