H. 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS. Feb, 27-Liverpool advices disappointing. consequently market opened point lower declined 2a3 additional later on the large receipts closing at net loss of 4 points the day. Bombay receipts for the week were i16.ooo. against 72, 900 last year, showing a gain of 35, 200 in the az gregate from Sept. lst to date. The Egyptian movement to date has increased 32l 900 over last year and the American crop is practically AS. 900 in excess of last year; therefore, these three cotton crops to date show increase of i,l23 900 bales in the supply over last year and, although ordinarily such features would exert a depressing influence values. they are entirely ignored for the moment. but even- tually they must receive recognition. Port re- ceipts were free and the four leading interior towns today received I4 900. against 1000 last year. or an increase of 100 per cent and yet claims freely made that the next month the movement will decrease decidedly, being predicted the same assertions circu- lated some twelve weeks ago with the sta tistcal situation bearish and growing more so daily. It is certainly striking that the market rules so steady without any legiti- mate feature to bear out the theories upon which all operations have been based for many weeks. However. while recognizing that these factors will ultimately regulate prices. for the present opinions valueless and this will continu until supply and demand again exert their influences upon the market

STREET REVIEW
PERSISTENT BUYING OF THE
 COLORADO SOUTHERN.
Gives Color to the RLmor That the Control of the Road is Beng
 Sought-Tennosse Coal Active.

NEW YORK. Feb 27.-The most active stocks in today's market were those known to the average speculator rather than those which have occupied the greatest attention Tor several days, but the obscure spec1aiues stiii had large part in the market. Some new ones were brought forward today and were pushed smarty upward, and advances con tinued in some others recently awakened into activity. Still others reflected the passing ot the speculative movement and the taking or profits. after which the market support was withdrawn and the price was allowed to take its own course. The very large and persistent buying of Colorado Southern gives color 10 the runor that control of the road is sought. The admission of Chicago and Eastern Illinois in- to the directorate of the Evansville and Ierre Haute is accepted as conf1rmatory or reports recently current of a consolidation. With these other absorptions and consultations Of minor railroad systems received ready creoence. In the more important stocks there was re- sit on buying attributed to inside interests
 Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western were lifted on the reports of the extraordinary demand for bituminous coal. There was sup port from inside sources for Missouri Pacihc, but the large liquidations continued in that stock, supposed to be the result Of recent see Coal were active and lower. Both of these stocks ended the day unchangd. The market as a whole semed sluggish and neglected. The dubious condition in which the Northern Securities Company is kept by the pending litigation against it is amply sufficient to ac- count for this state of affairs. The export today of ss: 500, 900 in gold afforded no ,rI ap- eating that the gold went to meet maturing obligations abroad and that no exchange bills were sold against it. The drop in chicago exchange to 50 cents discount indicates clear ly the pressure for currency at that point
 The continuance of such forces will cause higher money rates. Wabash debenture B's continued to overshadow the bond market
 but they lost much of their gains in the late dealings Total sales tpar value), S2,7S5,ooo

MARKETS FOR FUTURES PRICES EASE OFF UNDER ROOM
 SELLING.
Heavy Port Receipts and Liverpool Cables Stand in the Way of Inn provement in P-ices-De-
 clines at the Close

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-The cotton market opened steady with prices unchanged to 5 points lower and after a momentary Hurry Of general buying in which prices rallied to the final figures of yesterday. eased off under real izing and room selling for short account Heavy port receipts and unfavorable cables from Liverpool stood in the path of continu- ation of yesterdays upward movement. Yet the news from Southern spot cotton markets and statistics from interior towns was such to make bear selling hazardous. Wall Street and Philadelphia oyders held the March options firm. There was small number of notices put out. hut these were quickly taken up and failed to exert any influence. state ment to the effect that New England spin ners had voluntarily advanced wages to 70 per cent, cable from Manchester reporting improvement in the cloth market. increased demand for goods and glowing accounts from domestic dry goods centres helped to counter act the influence of the big port movement. What appeared to be a bear raid with scat tering sales of long stuff sent prices off several points in the last hour. The market closed quieter and steady with prices net 3M6 points lower. The days transactions were estimated at 75,0O0 bales.

MURDER AND SUICIDE MAN SLAYS WOMAN AND THEN
 HIMSELF. Mad Infatuation for Margaret Lam bert Causes William A. Rinard to Desert His Wife and
 Commit Murder.

Pittsburg, Feb. 27.-The mad infatua- ton of married man for woman other than his wife which has been on for sev- eral months ended at II oclock tnis morning in house at S0o Watson Street, Pfttsburg, when William A. Rinard, a steel blower of the converting mill at the Edgar Thomson works, and one of the best known men in Braddock shot and killed Margaret Lambert or Wilbert, formerly of London, England.
 A second or so later Rinard placed the revolver to his own head and breast and killed himself. The Lambert wo- mans right name was Mrs. Andrew P. Wllbert. Her maiden name was Lam bert. Some years ago she was married to A. H. Wilbert. a bar tender. Three years ago they separated and last April the girl took up her residence at the hodse of May Weyman on Watson Street.
 Rinard was the son of prominent real estate and insurance man of Braddock and up to last Christmas he stood high in the community. About that time ne met the Wilbert woman and his infatua- ton for her made him neglect his young wife and child. His wife is a member of a we'll known family in Braddock. The combined efforts of the couples families were brought to bear on the police de- partment of Pittsburg to break up the in- timacy between Rinard and the Wilbert woman. By this means the two were kept apart for a short time. but of late have been living together.
 Last night two travelling men called at the Weyman house and little while later drove away with the two women. As they left, Pinard warned Mrs Wilbert that if she did not return at once he would shoot her. She refused to obey him.
 At 8 o'clock this morning they returned and the four went up stairs. Rinard, who had absented himself. returned short ly after 10 o'clock. He called Mrs. Will bert to the parlor and almost immedi- ately afterward five shots were heard by the inmates of the house. Miss Wey- man followed by the two men hurried to the parlor and found the woman lying in the center of the room with a bullet wound in her head and one under her heart. Rinard was near the fire place with a large jagged hole through his heart. Both were dead.

Murphy 6 Co.'S (Inc) Cotton Letter

NEW YORK. Feb 27.-The cotton market ruled dull and featureless throughout the en- tire session. Conditions were about the same for the past two days. The movement con tnues rather free. Port receipts today foot ed up 26 GOO. against 24, 900 last year Hous- ton expects tomorrow 6 900 to 1000 against 3 800 last year. New Orleans expects l. 2 900 to 5000, against 3.oo4 Sentiment is mora inclined for the past day or towards lower prices particularly the bull clique ap- pears to be rather indifferent at present and are not making any special effort to advance prices. Liverpool also appears rather ndiffer- ent particularly as they have very good stocks on hand. Altogether the market seems to be in a waiting mood. with neither side disposel to take any aggressive part
