Murphx A Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York, February 11.-There was not much of market this morning but ca bles were so satisfactory that prices have advanced 2 to points in spite of heavy receipts at ports estimated at 5000 vs. 5000 In view of the holiday tomorrow there was no disposition to remain un- lowered In fact, the feeling was that we should witness a better market because the bull forces are so powerful that all attempts to dislodge them have failed. There was not much of a market until after the first hour when Houston re- ported small receipts for tomorrow which lifted the market ' to points on in- creased dealings. Futures at Liverpool were higher by point, The great feature of the crop year thus far has been the immense exports. This has been attract ing no end of attention and Is undoubted- ly the great bull point of the campaign thus far. Up to this time Europe has taken 4,759, GOO bales against 4,074,000 last wear while Great Britain alone has taken 2.921, ,OOO against 2.O55,000 last year There is no use ignoring this movement It is important and must be credited to the ex- ceIlent trade conditions abroad. Such a bie amount of actual cotton means a healthy situation and that the staple will he needed for long time to come. Hence we find that many of the best export houses in this country, whose interest is to take the bear side and cry prices down are quietly expressing belief in a bull market ahead, even with big crop.

WANT TO DELAY NAVIGATION
Vessel Owners start Movement to
Retard seaso I'm Interest of
High Rates.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Just when ship
pers were congratuAting themselves on
the prospect Of lake navigation opening
April l, or nearly a month earlier than
usual, vessel owners have started a move
ment to delay the season until May 1.
The object is to raise carrying charges.
A general canvass Of vessel owners all over
the lakes is now under way to secure sig
natures to an agreement not to start out
their boats before May. With the present
outlook that navigation will be in full blast
by April 1, vesselmen are fearful that
freight rates will drop to a low point and
1t will be impossible to restore them. With
the business which could ordinarily be han
died In. April spread through the remain
Ing months Of the season, higher rates
would prevail without mourning the heavy
expense Of operation during the month OF
April. The United States Steel corpora
tion and other steel companies owning
ships will not go into the arrangement and
their boats will be in operation Just as soor
as the Ice is out Of the way.
