+ COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. THE cotton mar
ket opened steady in tone with prices
unchanged to four points higher and
Ior the rest of the day persistently ad-
Vanced on a feverish demand from
shorts and healthy new speculation.
FROM start to finish influences from
every quarter favored higher mar
ket, the chief factors consisting of
pullish statistical reports from the
crop country. The visible supnIv
statement was the most bullish of re-
cent times and revived reports that
america is over-exporting herself
ana mas short crop with which to
piece out home requirements. Port
receipts were early estimated at 10000
paies, or 1000 less than same day last
year; the English cables were fully u
70 point better than expected; inte-
rlor receipts fell far behind the total
predicted yesterday; Southern spot
market news of private nature was
very oullish. At first, shorts were in
chned to believe the rise about over
ana were disposed to sell for reac-
tion. But it soon became apparent to
all that there was very little cotton
Tor sale, while strong outside inter-
sets had important orders in room
brokers' hands to buy March May
ana July options. Late cables from
Liverpool, and the regulation dis
patches from the New Orleans mar
kets reflected a firm situation at
those points and light estimates for
the lin sight" and for to-morow's re-
celpts. we're all that were needed to
complete the rout of the bear forces.
Soon May was urgently in demand at
$500 and July at S.33c, with shorts
oadly frightened. Still later, the "in
sight figures came out and gave a
much smaller movement than looked
for even by the more optimistic bulls.
This showing with official confirmation
OF early private advices stating that
Southern spot markets were firm and
higher, intensified the bullish feeling
in the afternoon and greatly stimulated
covering. The market further ad-
vanced on this support, and for the
rest of the session was strong and ac-
tive. The South. Europe, the West and
Wall street were liberal buyers on the
late advices. Commission sold to Sc
cure profits. In the last half hour
shorts made a hasty dash for cover
and rushed prices up in almost sensa-
tional form. The market closed firm
with prices net to Is points higher.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-02-08

New York, Feb THE movement
proved lighter than expected, as the
port receipts fell sharply below expec-
tations from the opening the market
showed firm undertone and slowly
advanced. A large supply of long cotton
was met at each point advance, which
was slowly absorbed by Southern and
local takings. Wall street houses con-
unued to seR, as they have done dur
ing the past week. Weather conditions
throughout the South have become
more favorable and the receipts at the
semi weekly towns show an increase, as
do the estimates for the receipts at
Houston and New Orleans for to-mor-
row. Unless the movement increases,
the market will advance. March con-
tinues the strongest delivery, the short
interest transferring to other and dis
tant months.
