NEW YORK, Feb 3.--The cotton market opened steady in tone with prices 2G5 points higher and without being active. ruled gen eraly firm during the rest of the day Frees failed to depart more than point or two from the opening basis, May holding close to 8. Is and July S.l9 The cables from Liverpool public and private were bullish in a conserva-
 tive way noting fairly active demand for spot cotton at I-32d advance, a desire of shorts to cover futures at 2@3 points advance and splen- did trade conditions in Manchester, advances from Southern spot markets bespoke firm undertone with good demand from spinners and from exporters at full former prices. weather conditions were described by the Gov ernment charts as once more favorable for an unrestricted movement of the remainder of the crop, while dispatches from New Eng land said that business was all that could be desired for the present More or less trouble was experienced in securing wire communica- tion with the South, owing to the havoc cre- ated on the lines by the wind storm of yester- day and last night Whereas today's clear ances for export were comparatiyely small, the total for the season thus far was seen to have exceeded that for the same time last year by some $50 900 bales, taken to indi- cate an unusually fine trade outlook in Eng land and on the continent for the next six months at least. The market was finally quiet and steady with prices net 3g4 points higher on present crop months and l42 points lower on next crop options

 CHICAGO Feb. 3.-Cold weather and grow ing bullish sentiment resulted in better prices in all pits on the Board of Trade today. May wheat closed with net gain of %0eh. May corn lgI3 and May oats S@h. Provisions Aside from the carly weekly statistics the news of the wheat pit was bullish. North western and local receipts were small. North western elevator stocks were decreased. There was fair demand and cables were slightly up to start. though thir early advance was lost The cold weather and storms threatened a slower movement and increased feeding. The coarse grains. especially strong, were strong wheat. The monthly report from Washington gave poor showing for the condition of the to covering. May, which opened a shade lower to shade higher. at 7sh7eis, advanced. The visible supply was reported decreased ,444.- 900 bushels and sent May to 7o%. Toward the end of the session realizing eased the tone slightly The ruling feeling, however. was N@s up at 7sis. outside markets were high. er but the absence of any marked outside interest in this market led to a quiet trade. grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 37o cars, cars, making total for the three points of were 467. 900 bushels against ]. l35 ooor for

 Reports that the cold weather would con- tinue for some time infused considerable sttength into corn and set hears to guessing ss to the wisdom of their attitude toward the market. Cables were firm and receipts were very small. An early investment demand be- gan to spring up and shorts lost heart and covered freely. There was little corn for sale early and Max after opening 1sd% higher sold up lA to b4h. The visible supply bulie- tin read: ''Unchanged'' in corn-the first time in the history of the board in such a condi- ton Cash business was restricted by light offerings. Southwest markets were bullish Altogether corn showed strong feeling Late in the day the advanced prices brought some realizing and consequent easier feeling. May closed strong, ialh up at 63A964. Receipts were only 62 cars
 Traders in oats kept near shore They feel that when something does happen again in oats it will be decided and they are not anxious to be caught again as they were caught last week. Consequently the oats mar ket was small, though 1t followed corn and showed some strength. May opened well up but fluctuations were over narrow range. The close for May was firm. %Qh higher at 44%. Receipts were only 64 cars a.

R. M. Scale & Co.'s Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 3.-PriVate cables today stAted that the condition of business in Manchester was getting worse and that the stocks of manufactured cotton goods in creasing, notwithstanding which Liverpool dis played a very steady tone, improving to the extent of 2h64 in deliveries and lag on spots with a moderate business transacted. The official weekly report of trade in Manchester was not entirely unsatisfactory. Last week 1t was stated that the Eastern demand had fallen off, but in the review today 1t appeared that fair business has been done with India and more available, hut owing to previ- ous engagements with spinners ahead the question of date of delivery interfered.
 On this side a very quiet condition prevailed with the customary steady tone in evidence, Operators in both camps seemed content to let matters rest for the ime being and he range of fluctuations was exceedingly narrow.
 Closing quotations are 2d4 points higher than Saturday.
 The movement has moderated somewhat, but traders are not sure whether this is due to bad weather in the belt. if the long ex- pected falling of fin receipts had started in earnest and curiosity regarding this feature is on increase Meanwhile the continued liberal exports from this country lead to the belief amongst many that there is some mistake in reports of bad trade abroad, and the i'm pression is established accordingly that the existing level of prices is justified.

:, Local Cotton Market.
& Co.'S (Inc.) Cotton Letter.
 

NEW YORK, Feb 3,-The situation in the cotton market today was a perplexing one. While there was an advance of points. there little in the way of business as to afford little sentiment even to the bull side. Advices as to the crop were simply reiterations of what has been coming to hand week after week. As to early collapse in the move ment, bulls place confidence in them and the bears deride them. Nevertheless. the extreme stagnation which disgusts the trade has been accompanied by remarkable show or strength. Bulls are determined and bears arc reluctant to sell shorts and there is gen eral anxiety about the receipts. Everything idence of a small crop will be followed by broadening speculation inasmuch prices are relatively low and trade con0Itions are good. The poor weather interfering with receipts just how much 1t Is hard to say The Liv- erpool market was higher and the port receipts fell to E. 900. against 23. 900 last year

Harlan Hands Down Decision.

Washington. Feb. 3.-Justice Harlan in the United States Supreme Court to- day announced the conclusion of the court in the case of the State of Illinois versus the Illinois Central Railroad Com pany. This case is a remnant of the old Chicago Lake front case and involved the contention of the railroad company that under it's riparian rights it should have the privilege of constructing docks and piers so as to reach navigabIe wa ters. Both the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Illinois and the Cir cult Court of Appeals held that the com pany piers did not extend beyond the line of practicable navigability, and they were, therefore allowable. These de- cisions were affirmed by today's opinion,
