Gliding that coal strike, SO that our

TheO. H. Prices Letter.

New York, March 12.-The senti-
ment regarding the cotton market is
becoming daily more bearish. The bull
movement in futures is dependent al
most entirely upon the caprice and
ability of one man to hold the mar
ket and force spinners into buying at
the highest price of recent years. 1t
is stated upon good authority that a
large number of Northern spinners
have entered into an agreement to
withhold purchases for the present,
and the best advices obtainable are
that Southern mills are fully supplied
and in some cases offering to resell
surplus supplies. The East India crop
is said to be 100000 bales larger than
last year. and 100000 bales larger
than two years ago. Prices upon the
New York Stock Exchange continue
to decline. A very bad bank state
ment is expected Saturday; money is
tight and the Secretary of the Treas
ury has declined to come to the aid of
the New York banks.
Cable advices say that an error in
the Barcelona stock of $4,000 bales has
been found which offsets the correc-
ton of $4,000 bales made yesterday in
the Galveston count so far as the Wis
ible supply is concerned. This is
somewhat discouraging comment on
the value of the much exploited statis-
tical situation in cotton. Southern adj
vices are agreed that the weather hav-
ing been almost continuously wet since
the first Of December receipts will now
increase largely with clearer skies.
To me 1t looks as II an enormous
speculation In cotton was upon the
eve of liquidation, and lower prices in
prospect.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, March 12-The spot
cotton market was decidedly quiet. The
decline of 10 points in New York and
the slump in futures caused a weak
ness in spots which closed Lice lower

ence of New York and Liverpool OPP

points, the market here gradually gave

New York, March 12.-Our market
opened with sales of May at 9.70@s.So,
and after selling at 9.S5c ruled at 9.72c
at 1 p. m. A new factor to-day was
the withdrawal of spinners from Liver
pool, their purchases there to-day be-
ing the smallest for many months. This
together with the weak market here
yesterday brought. about a weak for
eign market. At the opening the de-
cline was not considered to equal the
break here yesterday and We had
first substantial rally. The improve
ment did not last, as the outside sell
ing orders on the better weather con-
ditions brought a rapid decline. May
has been quickly rallied from time to
time, by the bull leaders,
but somehow the local traders
have obtained the impression that
there has been very heavy selling I'M
der cover. The market will now be
governed by receipts. Europeau spin
ners action in falling back on their re-
serve supply is a new factor against
the market at these prices. At the
close May was supported with the re-
mainder of the list quieter. Liverpool
is expected lower tomorrow. The spot
market was dull, 10 points decline.

to-day only at a few points and was
in no instance heavy, while the early
forecast was for fair weather in all d.
rections. Everything now depends on
the action of parties in control of act
ual cotton. 1t was expected that these
when prices were NC lower, and
it is a question whether they will hold
on unit they are u to 1c still
higher. The only thing against the
market is the possibility of increased
receipts, but then again the high riv-
ers in the Southwest may more than
offset these. Taking this into consid-

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
2@S points and worked upward a mat
ter OF SOS points under better Liver
pool cables than were due on the New
York close yesterday and continued
Hood reports. In the early trading the
new crop months came in for special
attention, and the greatest advances
We're scored in the autumn positions on
the ground that the recent unfavor-
able weather has greatly delayed
planting and consequently a late move
ment is probable. The main buying
came from shorts, and when May had
sold up to 9.S6c and July 9.65c long cot
ton began to come upon the market
in large blocks, arousing fresh appre-
tensions among the smaller longs that
the clique holdings were being lquidat-
ed. The weather South also showed
signs of clearing up, leading to antici-
pations of an expanding movement and
the early estimates for to-day's ports
were considered liberal, considering
the conditions of the roads as indicat-
ed by the statement from Washington.
postponing the March ginners' report
to about April 1 for the reason, it is
alleged, that the roads are impossible.
Liverpool turned earlier in the trad
ing, closing at decline of 9@10 points,
against 6hQ7h points at the time of
the local opening. The selling was
further encouraged by the estimates
for to-morrow's receipts at leading
points and reports of labor trouble at
certain New England centers, and as
the decline stop orders were uncov-
ering, a loss of 1903 points from the
highest had been recorded, the mar
ket took a fresh upward turn under
renewed clique support and profit-tak-
ing by shorts. The ports receipts turn
ed out less than expected, being fS,14S
bales, against p, 300 last year, and ex-
ports were heavy. There was a par
tial reaction under selling by long and
shorts. The market was finally steady,
net l point higher to lower. The
advance being confined to September.
