 NEW ORLEANS. Feb. I7.-Eariy Liverpool market, notwithstanding this, opened to 2 points higher and subsequently, eased of l to points on realizing. Later in the session ,the additional improvement in Liverpool and the frmness of spots caused an advance of to l2 points from the bottom, making the net gain 10 to points on the day. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, wires were work ing very badly, and information and business consequently delayed generally Advices from America setting forth the condition of affairs prevalent in this country, were instrumental in occasioning the sharp advance in Liverpool It anticipated that the movement will shrink to small proportions during the next ten or fifteen days In consequence of the recent bad weather. Mir. Ellison on the st of February stated that the European spinners held in stock 336. 900 bales more than last year. The New York Commercial and Financial Chron- icle commenting on these figures and bringing them up to February 3, states that Euro pean spinners up to that date held 46O 900 bales more stock than last year. The visible supply of all kinds. according to the New Or leans cotton exchange on February l3. was 4I5,00o less than last year, and the New York Chronicle on the same date made the deficiency only 302, 900 bales under last year. There fore, this authority not only corroborates MT. Ellison. but makes European spinners hold In providing that the shippers are better supplied than for years. and that the so-called strong statistical position Is on the surface and has been brought about by spinners stocking up heavily and carrying this surplus In the in visible supply at the expense of the visible. Sentiment, however, continues extremely bull ish and traders as a whole expect higher prices.

The firm ness at Liverpool was attributed by private cables to the unfayorable weather in the belt and to large buying orders from this side, presumably emanattng from the bull clique. Commission house business was interfered with to considerable extent by the poor wire service and 6 matter of fact very little of the demand to-day seemed to come from out side sources, the best buyers being brokers usually supposed to represent various of the interests who concerned in the bull spool and shorts who had sold yesterday on the ground that the present advance is above that justified by actual conditions and Is therefore affair of manipulation. Aside from a brief setback in the mid-forenoon a result of profit taking the market worked steadily up- ward throughout the entire session. The move ment gave indication of falling off as a re- suit of the unfavorable weather. to-morrow's estimates for leading points falling in the aggregate 6,oo0 bales below last years ac- tual. though to-day's receipts exceed expecta- tions amounting to 8, I76 bales. against 27. 673 bales last year.

 The increase in the contract stocks of oats caused renewed liquidation in that pit and the market ruled rather easy, although . slight recovery was made late in the day on the strength in wheat and corn. Commission houses were the best sellers, while the buy ling was scattered. The volume of business was small and no special features were mani Tested.

Selling for South west account added to the depression and the market declined. there being support features and May sold of to 77hc.
