Later Liverpol cables indicated an easier tone on that market and the receltts estimated for leading points tomorrow showed a continuation of the expanding movement But when this selling had carried prices to point about 40 points below the best figures for the active options. the clique again sup ported values and the market underwent partial recovery.

New York Cotton Futures.
Local Cotton Market.
R. M. Scale 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK. March 3-There was less snap to the market this morning. The fever was just as great and nervousness even greater but in some the desire to sell on the part of few more than equalled the desire May from I0l7 10 looS twice during the day Of course, May sold at eoS yesterday and 10. 0S represented a loss of only 0 points in gain of 20 points The amount of July for sale at o.90 was enormous. In May no one cares to go short It's too dangerous. But there is good selling In August and the new crop months good bulges. The August De- tober difference of 90 points is big differ ence. Cotton will be worth more than 8. 70 for October if August Is still worth 96o In August. The two months wil come nearer to- gether as the season advances. There is small prospects of any decided change in the market until weather brings about frocr movement Then the tone and aspect of things will change. But long cotton comes out in dribblets the bull crowd cannot be disturbed. So long as the big holders hold their line of cotton there is nothing in sight to break the market. We don't like the May-July premium of 26 points. this begins to look like trouble for May condition. It's too early to talk corner but you yourself how May acts. And you can't bring cotton here South to deliver on contract until you get the cotton to bring All this will adjust itself fin time. At present it's market to treat conservatively and one must remember that I0-cent cotton Is lux ury and we will plant for a 3, GOO, o00- hale crop. This Is the year we may get it. Don't forget that the weather changes senti- ment on cotton Just spring weather and early planting.
