BEAT A HASTY RETREAT

New Orleans, March S.--The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices 1 point low CT to l point higher and for a brief pc riod had a very irregular movement with the tendency toward lower level under realizing and bear pressure. The Liv- erpool cables were rather disappointing and port receipts were considerably lower than on the same days a year ago.
 Rumors that yarns in Liverpool were depressed helped to create feeling of uneasiness among smaller holders. But before the end of the first hour the bears turned short about and hastily retreated before very bullish spot cotton market statements and splendid trade accounts orders were soon leading the day but as the market worked higher a prominent local export house flooded the ring with May buying orders. The latter at once started rumors that Philadelphia inter- ests, too, were scrambling for cover and with whirl March rose to S.90, May to 8.73 and July to SIP.
 Very light estimates for tom orrows Houston and New Orleans receipts did much to hold the market firm during the late session. Above S.70 for May and July realizing sales were enormous, but every bale offered was quickly absorbed by thoroughly frightened behrs. From time to time during the day New England spinners bought freely and Wall street picked up occasional blocks of the July option. Trading was very active through out with sentiment at the close bullish on the prospect for smaller receipts dur ing the rest of the week. The close was steady with prices net ' to F points higher. Total sales were estimated at 800, 900.
