R. 3. Morris 8 Co.'S Letter.

Houston, April 12.-Buslness was rather
light in cotton circles today. The trad
ing was largely Of an evening up charac-
ter, and prices we're rather unimportaut.
Cables were good, with prices generally
better than looked for from that quarter.
Southern spot markets were strong, with
BUYERS eager takers Of everything in sight.
The movement at the ports showed a
decrease as compared with last year, but
there was some increase in the tendency
noted as compared with a few days ago,
and this had a depressing influence. Tex
tile reports on the week were the best
OF the week.
Noting that there was practically moth
Ing available for immediate shipment, and
that buyers had ceased 10 ask concessions,
New York opened steady at ! 70 points
advance, and Immediately after the call
showed a downward tendency on realizing
by commission houses. There were good
buylng orders In evidence on the way down,
hui the close showed a loss of . 70 points
on the summer months as compared with
last night The estimates OF an Increase
In the amount in sight this week, as com
pared with the same week last season,
mad a depressing effect and caused a great
deal of the pressure. r. B. Norris Co.
