On the whole the past week was a
favorable one for cotton holders, and
many availed themselves of the op-
nortunity to sell on the bulges and
.trong points. While considerable bus
mess was done both in the spot and
sDAculative markets the offerings were
mt in such volume in either as to de-
,res. prices. The conviction that the
IRON 5 net to exceed the worlds re-
ouirements largely still holds among
a large majority of holders, and for
this reason, together with the main
renance of the demand, they show no
uneasiness about disposing of their
cotton. The Savannah market closed
ouiet to-day, with a moderate business
doing.
Spirit sturpentine ruled firm all week
with a fair demand at rising prices.
On to-day the market reached 44c as
the outside price. Resins closed firm
al the advance with the demand OF a
satisfactory character. While there are
not understood to be any large orders
in the naval stores market at the mo-
ment factors show no anxiety about
the future, fully expecting prices to be
maintained. The wholesale markets
ruled steady with an encouraging out
look for good spring business. Resume

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 14.-The cotton
market opened steady, with prices 2
points higher to / point lower and al
most Immediately became firm on
brisk covering and moderate foreign
buying. The basis for this demand
was a firrner ruling of the Liverpool
market than believed to be due on the
New York close of yesterday. Pros
pect of port receipts of $4,000 bales as
against 10000 same day last year
helped to encourage bull support and
to intimidate the bears. But before
IL o'clock the whole situation seemed
to swing around in favor of the shorts.
Port receipts came in heavier than
early figured upon, the lin sight" es-
Inmates are shaped toward 10000
bales, and the English market sud
denly turned easier. Active commits

bull support and vigorous bear SELL
ing quickly forced the whole list off

Their Fall River strike talk, though
more or less vague, was not without
a depressing influence nor was a cable
from Manchester stating that short
time sentiment was becoming more
general. The official in sight was fully
as bearish as predicted, and for the
time being took every vestige of bull
snap out of the market. Just when
everything seemed to favor the bears,
estimates for to-morrow's New Or
leans and Houston receipts came into
prominence, showing a relatively small
movement. Then came a report that
a prominent local export house was
selling spot cotton to Southern mills,
buying May cotton in New York in it's
place, thereby reaping a generous
profit. Buying for both accounts be-
came popular in the last hour, and
before the close July had stiffened to
S.SSc, with other options up in proper
ton The market closed very steady
with prices net unchanged to 8 points

New York, March 14.-There was
plenty of bull talk early in the day
but friends of cotton were not inclined
to be demonstrative and failed to take
advantage of encouraging cables and
very small movement, prices start
ing unchanged to two points higher.
The smaller movement is beginning to
attract more attention but we are so
far ahead of last year that it may re-
quire time to convince many people
that the crop will not greatly exceed
the bureau figures, despite the deluge
OF reports claiming an early petering
out everywhere. The more distant DO
sitions were freely sold the first hour
nut the general market was up well on
the whole. The expectation was that
Liverpool would be ruled by market
here. Closing cables were 21c lower
Inc insight figures for the week 49,
600 had a depressing effect, the total
movement having now reached 1885,
600 since September l. The statistical
situation at Liverpool shows little
change during the week The stocks
of all kinds increased 1000 bales and
are now $4,000 greater than last
year The American increased 5000.
and Is now $4,000 greater than last
year The afloat stock lost 5000 dur
Ing the week and is now $1,000 more
than last year. Numerous Georgia re-
ports indicate decreased acreage. The
drought in North Texas which was
broken early in the week appears to
nave given an entire different aspect
TO the situation in that state, the
rainfall having been as high as 6
inches in some sections. The complete
change there has had the effect of
changing the views of some local on
orators who feared a very backward
start for the crop although the mar
ket has not been influenced by the
changed condition. New Orleans ex-
poets tomorrow $500 to $500 against
6,l4S; Houston 5000 to $500 against
1851.

Hubbard Bros. q Co... cotton Letter.

New York, March 14.-After the OPEN
ing liquidation for outside account set
In on the large insight movement for
the week, which raises the total to
about 100000. This carried the mar
ket below last evenings prices, from
which point it rallied quickly on the
posting of the light estimates for New
Orleans for tomorrow. The market
was supported by the bull party from
time to time during the morning by
market orders via Liverpool and Wall
street to cover the transaction. The
local temper is to expect higher mar
ket next week on the expected falling
off in the movement, which has been
predicted for so long and not yet APP
peared. All small crop estimates must
be abandoned in face of the movement
so far this season, and the course of
prices predicated on a crop of 10000, 900
bales and consumption.
