mvrnbv G Co.,. cotton Letter.

New York, March 14.--There was plenty
 bull talk early, but friends of cotton were
 not inclined to be demonstratiVe and
 failed to take advantage of encouraging
 cables and a very small movement Is beginning to attract more attention, but we are so far ahead of last year that 1t may require time to convince many peo- ple that the crop will not greatly ex- ceed the bureau figures, despite the de- luee of reports claiming an early peter ing out everywhere.
 The more distant positions were freely sold, the first hour, but the general mar ket kept up well on the whole. The ex- pectation was that Liverpool would be ruled by the market here. Closing cables were 2h lower. The insight figures for the week were 172,000 and had depress- ing effect The total movement having now reached 9,055,000 since September l, the statistical situation at Liverpool shows little change during the week The stocks of all kinds increased 11,OOO bales, and are now 331.OOO greater than last year. The American stock increased 90OO and is now 3l7,0OO greater than last year. The af1oat stock lost 5000 during the week, and is now 1G,000 more than last year. Numerous Georgia reports indicate decreased acreage. The drouth in North Texas, which was broken early in the week. appears to have given an entirely different aspect in that state, the rain fall having been as high as six inches In some sections. The complete change there has had the effect of changing the views of some local operators who feared very backward start for the crop, although the market has not been influenced by the condition.

Prices started well up, then broke sharply and closed about in tle middle of the days fluctuations. There was support on the decline and good selling on the advance. A great many commission houses seemed, to De sellers but there was no general weakness in evidence as a whole. Around cents for March. however, the market appears to halt Arolud SAC some time ago 1t halted. and did not get enough cotton to stop 1t then.

 From the Market.
PORT RECEIPTS ARE HEAVY

New York March 14.-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices ? points higher to 1 point lower and almost imme- diately became firm on brisk covering and moderate foreign buying. The basis for this demand was a flrmer ruling of the Liverpool market than believed to be due to the New York close of yesterday. Prospect of port receipts of 140OO bales as against 2O,O00 same day last year help ed to encourage bull support and to in- timate the bears. By Il o'clock the whole situation seemed to swing around in fa- vor of the shorts. Z Port receipts came in heavier than figured on, the insight es- inmates" shaped toward 5000 bales and the English markets suddenly turned cas- fer
 Active commission selling, a withdraw al of bull support and vigorous bear sell ing, quickly forced the whole list off July dropped to S.S1. Further Fall River strike talk, though more or less vague, wa9 not without a depressing influence, nor was a cable from Manchester stating that short-time sentiment was becoming more general.
 The official insight figures were fully as bearish as predicted and for the time being took every vestige of bull snap out of the market. Just when everything seemed to favor the bears estimates for Houston and New Orleans receipts came into prominence showing a relatively small movement. Then came a rumor that a local export house was selling July spot cotton to Southern mills, buying May cotton in New York in its place, thereby reaping a generous profit. Buying for both accounts became popular in the last hour and before the close July had stiff fened to S.SS With options up in propor- ton. The market closed steady with prices net unchanged to 3 points higher.
