New York. Feb 4-There was an at
tempt on the part of an element of pro-
fessional operators to awaken some spec
ulative interest in the market this morn
ing, but the general disposition was to
acquiese in dullness and neglect after
yesterdays disappointment of the ex-
pectation of decision in the Northern
Securities case. 1t is the general opin-
ion in the financial district that any
pronounced activity must await the de-
layed decision in the case, or some strik-
ing new development in general condi-
tons. The professional element which

Especial to News and Observer
New Orleans. La, Feb. 4.--As Liver
pool advices were not encouraging our
market opened ] to 2 points lower, subse-
quently advanced to points on the
light receipts, closing practically un
changed from yesterdays quotations.
The movement is curtailed by the cold
and inclement weather yet notwith-
standing this exporters buy spot spar
ingly at the ports, demonstrating that
spinners are pursuing a hand to mouth
policy. 1t has been apparent for severaf
days past that new buyers are not being
attracted to the article and these who
have already bought seem anxious to
realize OF course the probabilities are
that as long as weather retards receipts
values may rule steady.

COTTON.
New York. Feb. 4.--The cotton market
opened quiet with prices unchanged
from last nights final bids and for the
balance of the session pursued an indif-
ferent course in the absence of aggres-
sive bull or bear operations. AS was
the case yesterday. the talent was in
no mood to take the initiative step to-
ward forcing the market higher or low
er, so long as big public long interest
remained intact. Todays Liverpool
cables reported spots 1-32d higher and
futures rather firmer than expected on
our showing of last night. Port receipts
gave every promise of falling short of
those of same day last year and the in
terror movement was also light. The
semi-weekly interior towns figures We're
decidedly bullish. though there seemed
TO be little doubt but that the bad
weather of last week in some measure
explained the striking shortage in re-
ceipts. Owing to large shipments, the
interior town stocks dropped off mate
rally. From time to time during the
day commission houses We're sellers of
May and July cottons, for profits: the
South and Europe bought in a conserva-
tive way. The estimate for tomorrows
receipts gave little hope to shorts of an
immediate broadening of the movement.
The market closed steady with prices
net unchanged to points higher.
