cothran & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By G. W. Lee " GO.
New York, March 13.-For a while this
morning things were very quiet and this
relief from the excitement of the week
pleased ALL May was not the only weak
month. There seemed to be supply
of May somewhere. May was really
weaker than other months. For instance
August, low on aonday, was 800, May
904. This morning August low was 9.22
and May 96l, August Il points from the
bottom and May Z. That is, May has lost
ground this week. The market ruled
weak all the afternoon and for some rea-
son seemed to be without support. 1t
looked like a good selling early. Reports
from the south are somewhat better.
Weather not so bad. Receipts are big con
sidering the weather The spot demand
is falling off here and abroad. There are
a thousand and one reasons to look Tor
a slump, in prices of cotton this spring,
but we believe in going slow as local stock
is small and there might be trouble ahead
later For the present we believe factors
favor the short side on every advance.
On a good break towards cents for Au-
gust we would cover and look for rally.
The price is high and the weather Will
change receipts.

New York. March 13.-The dry goods
market has shown no Increase of activity
and buyers continue to take only what
is necessary for current requirements.
The values arc maintained and manufact-
urers complain of the small margin of
profit on the present basis of prices. The
fact that the market is so we'll sold ahead
prevents any weakening on the part OF
the agents. Jobbers are doing a re-
stricted business. the larger trade having
purchased.

COTTON MARKET
CLOSELY WATCHED
Opened Steady at an Advance
and Ruled Regular
EARLY ESTIMATES LIBERAL
Shortly After Midday the Bulls At
tempted to Rally Prices, But After
Momentary Improvement the
Downward Movement Began.

New York. March 13.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of one
point to a decline of two points and inn
mediately following the call ruled irregu-
lar. prices fiuctuating within a narrow
limit, put showing considerable steadi-
ness particularly on the new crop posi-
tions. under less favorable weather fore
casts, which were regarded as ohsetting
the rather disappointing ruling of the
Liverpool market The early estimates
for receipts at the ports was considered
liberal In view of the bad roads south,
but there was considerable covering by
shorts who Appreciated that further
rains might render the situation In the
lower Mississippi valley still more serious,
while naturally causing a further delay
In crop preparations. Under this buying
which was also encouraged by the small
estimate for tomorrow's receipts at Hous-
ton, prices held for time around last
nights close, but the market soon gave
way under liquidation and prices were
forced rapidly downward, though trading
was by no means as active as the recent
average. May led the decline under sales
said to be for the account of certain spot
interests, while the old crop months con-
tinued relatively firm. The estimates for
Galveston and New Orleans tomorrow
were liberal and there was but little
support in the market. Shortly after mid
DAY the bulls attempted to rally prices
on the week end figures, but these mad
been expected and but little outside sup
port was forthcoming, so after d mo-
mentary improvement of a few points,
the market resumed its downward course
