PORT RECEIPTS PICKED UP

New York, February S.-The cotton market opened firm with prices un- changed to points higher on a scare of shorts and on active new buying on over night accumulations of orders. This ad- vance was too extensive for the news in hand and at once promted selling by conservative room operators for a reac- tion. Liverpool markets were only trife better than due on our close of last night. Receipts at the ports picked up rapidly, reaching close to 10000 bales against l6Ooo the same day last year, and this too, served to warn against further purchases for the moment.
 The first scramble to buy carried March to S43, May to S.44 and July to SAT. These figures were the top for the first hour and were soon superseded by prices to 6 points lower under very heavy selling for profits and active pressure from the 're- actionists." Throughout the short ses- sion speculation was very active and gen. eral investment business the best noted in many weeks If not for months. Private advices stated that the South was offer ing cotton freely on the basis of initiative prices here and that spinners were refus- ing to follow the advance of last night claiming that natural reaction was due Europe and the West were fair buyers in New York throughout the morning The market closed steady, net to 6 points lower.

:otton Letter,

New York, February S.-There was an- other excited market for cotton this morning, with prices reaching the top on the crop. July sold at 8.H and May at S.4i. The liquidation proved to be extensive and on the advance cotton came out in large blocks The largest blocks yet seen were on the advance, but buying contin- ned to absorb the cotton, and prices failed to decline much below yesterdays s high figures. The liquidation has closed out a great many accounts, and those who have taken the cotton are in a good position to hold with the prospect or those who sold buying back on any de- cline in prices Professionals look for a reaction on increased receipts next week. and on a break would advise buying Tor a profit The market is broader and op- erations are likely to prove successrui On any further advance we would ao- vise profit-taking. and if the market breaks Monday morning any purchases at tbe decline will be likely to show ouick profit. The decline will bring in new buyers and cause a quick up-turn If not higher market ultimately.

piled to Great Britain. being lighter and
Of longer range The United States ord
nance officers have long complained that
their field guns were less effective than the
French and German guns. The United
states ordnance department learned some
time ago that the Krupps had a new light
model and they were invited TO exhibit the
piece TO the United States ordnance ex-
perts, but the Krupps declined, giving az
their reason that II they demonstrated that
they had the best piece In the world there
was no certainty that the United States
would take It.
Herr Krupp recently made a gun Of ex-
actly the same bore as a certain best Amer
lean type, but considerably lighter n

effectively 5000 yards, against the Amer
lean guns 1890 yards.
Herr Ehrhardt established ave years ago

Of carriages and shells. but being unproht-
able It was closed and he brought the
machinery back TO Germany.
Captain Borup Is remembered among
foreign ordinances ofhcers as formerly at
tached to the Paris embassy Of the United
States and as having been recalled on an
intimation Of the French government that
such a step would be desirable, this being
due to his unusual success in penetrating
military secrets.
