The market was finally firm and net to g points higher, this being within about 1 point of the highest level of the day. Sales futures estimated at 200oO0 bales. The early cables came just about as expected and had little effect on local sentiment which for time was disposed to be governed by the heavy receipts which were expected to exceed those of last year by about 10000 bales while the 'in- sight for the week was likely to reach a round 25O0OO bales against 14796l last year. Trouble with wires led to predlc- tions that the weather was unfavorable to a continued full movement. The Hous- ton estimate for tomorrow showed a con- siderable falling off as compared with the recent average and Liverpool closed firm at an advance of points,

eaxter a Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York February 5.-The advance in the market yesterday in the final dealings
 came as a surprise and was followed up
 this morning with higher prices. It seems
 that, although receipts have been sur
 prisingly large prices have failed to show
 surprising shortage. As a rule little in
 the trade is actually discontinued but in
 the present instance it would appear that prices cannot be made to suffer much more because of free movements.
 Shorts are recognizing this fact ana
 show anxiety. Cables this morning were fully up to the mark as stated before the
 policy at Liverpool has been and be to follow us rather than lead. It is said that
 we have heard too much bulish talk
 about the dry goods trade and the milling l situation. For some days there has been | further reports of unpicked cotton to be
 marketed and the more conservative ele-
 ment have all along believed that much l less danger was to be apprehended from l this source than is generally claimed. 1 Prices were five points higher during the l forenoon. Port receipts were 27, 167 against | a5 O00 Cables were firm at four to five
 points higher.
 Cloths at Manchester were firmer and warns were in moderate demand. May
 contracts closed nine points over last night at s97, while spots were firm ten l points higher middling s.15.

Palma Refers Amendments to Cuban
Senate.
Havana, March 25.-The message of
President Palma regarding the amend
ed reciprocity treaty was read in the
senate yesterday. The president con-
siders that the amendments made By
the United States senate should b.
adopted, and refers the matter to the
consideration of the Cuban senate He
explains that the exchange of ratifica-
tions must be made in Washington be-
fore March 81 or the treaty will lapse.
He sent with the message a certified
copy OF the kilograms exchanged by
Secretary of States zaldo and the
Cuban minister at Washington, Senor
Qesada, as well as the amendments.

treaty be discussed at once. Senior
Dolz moved that it be referred to the
committee on foreign relations, and a
discussion ensued as to what should be
done. Finally Senor Zayas withdrew
his motion. Senor Sanguilly then
asked why it was that the United

the Cuban senate. in spite Of the fact
that the Cuban constitution was mod
eled on the American constitution.
The senate finally and unanimously
agreed to refer the treaty to the for
eign relations committee, which will
