Murphy a CO.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The early cot-
ton market was irregular and dull,
opening prices showed two advances,
but Immediately after the opening, and
in a twihkling, prices went off and the
record stood &c net decline. Absence
of new features was marked. There
was nothing new from any quarter,
and the situation has resolved itself
into a question of ability of the longs
to hold out and carry the market to
the point they profess they intend to do
unless the large army OF small holders
content with small profits cut loose
and thus demoralize the market. In
dications were for port receipts Of 49,
0OO against % 900 last year. The in
terror half week receipts were heavy.
but this was not unexpected and the
showing frightened some buyers who
believed in a further little temporary
break Liverpool reported decline of
two points. Alabama reports are that
the fertilizer trade is improving rapidly
and considerable is being hauled to the
plantations. Very little blowing has
been done so far, although the weather
has been good. 1t Is claimed that in
the Atlantic states evidences Of ex-
haustion are unmstakable. Bears tin-
able to comprehend the significance OF
advance in price point to the Egyptian
and indian crops, which they say are
going to be immense, and the fact has
been ignored. they say, and ii may be
added that the bulls regard with stu
preme contempt at the present extent

Hubbard Bros. 4 CO.'S cottnn letter.

New York. Feb. 1S-Liverpool was
affected adversely by the heavy re-
ceipts and the reports of short time
amongst the Lincolnshire spinners on
account of the large Accommodations of
yarns. We received a cable from the
Cotton Gazette to that effect this MORN
ing. Our market has shown great
steadiness in the face of the bearish
factors which have appeared in the
heavy estimates from Houston and
New Orleans for tomorrow, and in the
semi-weekly movement. This last
showed receipts of 10000 against Al, 900
last week and 10000 last year. This
movement is the largest of any CORE
Spending week on record. Stocks at
these towns increase SO that the insight
movement for the week viii probably
be larger. notwithstanding this move
ment the feeling remains very bullish
amongst the outside interests who are
so heavily long of cotton, as they look
for sharp falling off in the near fu-
ture, believing the receipts to be the
last before exhaustion sets In There
has been little pressure to sell.

Tuesday, Feb. 49,
Thar tbere is too much at stake for
800 interests to allow the cotton mar
49, 70 decline was pretty thoroughly
demonstrated by the unnatural swing
of nrices to-day, when they dropped to
noint that seemed disaster to the
~,arlet and then reacted with remark
able strength, closing steady at the ad-
-,nce playing what is believed to be
dual role is not an easy thing to do.
The large interests in control of cotton
At present have big holdings to market,
and While letting prices off in this pro-
.oss thew must not drop to an extent
% shake public confidence in the bull
,o,nnaisn. which is just now beginning
~ assume attractive proportions.
DISPATCHES from New York say that
whom prices got to a low enough point
today wall street people stepped in
and nut them back. 1t was done with
such ease that the country failed to
erasp it, Savannah exporters went to
their lunch with the expectation that in
view of the forenoon rise they would
he able to buy cotton in the afternoon
at much lower prices. Instead they re-
tnrned to find the market buoyant and
active with all positions showing an
advance The same was doubtless true
elsewhere. The conclusion, is natural
that the bulls have the market in hand
for a purpose and that prices may
seek much higher level before their
plans are carried out
From all appearances the movement
seems to be in the hands of the most
Ingenious manipulators that have uri-
dertaken a great campaign in the cot
ton market in recent years. One feature
u.>ta ate. 1t is a fact that the ex-
ports during the past few weeks have
been large, and the attention this has
3tt-u mas already been seized upon
to impress mill managers that they had
4 nts neg.ett laying in, ample sup
plies soon unless they wish to become
victims of a cotton famine. The re-
peated statements from the country of
exhaustion at ni%ny points lends color
to this, and is believed to be the cause
of mills buying to a, considerable extent.
Besides the buoyant tone this and
6.,e. re- lures add to the market the
speculation itself is looked to as a most
beneficial influence favorable to the
spot holder There are already predic-
lions that lot OF March cotton may be
needed by shorts, and this seems pretty
certain unless the bull campaign ends
pfematurely.
Turpentine closed firm at 42c, with
the demand good. Resins closed firm,
and after closing advanced 219 on H
and below. The following resume of the
markets will show their tone and quo
tations at the closing to-day:

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closed Steady ana TN

tlOSeu Steady ana
changed to Points Higher.
New York Feb. 1S-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet and steady, with
prices 1d2 points higher, in Keeping
with better cables from the English
market and firner advices from South
ern spot centers than expected. Soon
after the call the room lost its bull
ish convictions and adopted the bear
side and slowly, but surely, the mar
ket eased off. Liverpool reluctantly re-
sponded to this decline and the New
Orleans market was influenced to some
extent as well. At midday the esti-
mates for to-morrow's New Orleans
and Houston receipts made their APP
pearance and were far larger than eX-
pected. The room at once put out adj
ditional short lines and smaller holders
lost faith in their position, and sold
out. May was forced off to 8.50c and
gave every indication of further weak
ening under the combined pressure; BUT
when least expected large Wall street
buying orders came to the front and
commission houses bid for big blocks
of May and July. Not until May had
reached S.55c would the bears believe
that positive Improvement was at
hand Then wild rush TO cover sent
that option UP to S.60c and other
months in proportion. Throughout
the late session the trading was very
active and general, with shorts excited
and feverish buyers at top prices. Fear
that Liverpool will come much higher
in the morning on the showing made
by the New York market to-night
urged shorts on and stimulated new
buying.
The market closed very steady, with
prices net unchanged to points high
er. March cotton was picked up eager
ly by a we'll known commission broker,
leading to the belief that on delivery
day the actual cotton will be wanted
by parties long of that option.

New York, Feb. is.-The dry goods
market to-day showed some improve

for heavy brown cottons. There was
a strong tone in print cloths, but no
advance. Staple prints were strong.
ginghams were very scarce, irrespec-
tive of prices. Cotton hosiery and uii-
derwear were quiet and unchanged.

CITY'S SUIT TO ENJOIN
ACTION AGAINST GAS COMPANY TO
BE FILED SEPT. 10.
To Prevent the Shutting Of of Natural
Gas-WOrk for the Council
Tonight.

The suit of the city to enjoin the Indian
apolis Gas Company from disseminating its
service Sept. 30 will be instituted about
Sept. 10. This time has been agreed on
by City Attorney Joss and Ferdinand Win
ter, attorney for the company, and both
are preparing for immediate submission
of the questions TO the court so that de-
cision may be had before the date which
the company has chosen its last day.
Tonight Mayor Bookwalter will send to
the Council two ordinances on the gas sub
ject. One will give him authority TO employ
additional counsel, and the other Will au-
thorize an appropriation of $500 to pay
the additional counsel or as much of the
amount as may be needed. This same pro-
cess was used when the city began its liti-
Company in 1894, and the same amount
was appropriated. Mayor Bookwalter says
the special counsel should be in the case
from the start and should be associated
with the city attorney in the preparation
of the suit and continue with the case to
its termination. There is little doubt
said the mayor. but that the litigation
will go to the Supreme Court of the United
work that will be required to protect the
city's interests in this litigation. The ap-
preparation asked for ought to cover all
necessary expense of additional counsel. but
does not necessarily mean that 1t will be
consumed"

Passengers on Greenfield interurban car
No. 10, bound for Indianapolis yesterday
morning about o'clock, had a scare that
sent shivers of fear up their spinal col
umns. The car was behind time, and as
most of the passengers were in nervous
fear that they would miss Sunday ex-
cursion trains they desired to catch, they
were in a state of mind somewhat suscepti-
BILE to fright. AS the big car bounced and
rocked around a little curve three miles
east of Irvington, the motorman caught
sight of a big fence rail lying squarely
across the track. The car was going at
such speed that it impossible to stop
Ii, and those who were looking out of the
front windows of the car and who saw the
obstruction set their teeth and waited for
a smashup. None came however, as the
rail happened to be soft and rotten, and
the wheels cut it in two. the car sliding on
without being in the least incOmmoded
The Greenfield line had its share of troub-
les yesterday morning. About two miles
east Of Irvington the trolley wires got
out of order and for at least three hours
there were no cars running on the line
Dozens of people who wanted to get out of
Indianapolis on excursion trains were dis
appointed and grumbled strongly.
