COTTON MARKET
 GAINS STRENGTH Opened Weak Under liquida- ton and Short Sales.
STEADlNESS TOWARDCL0SE

 Outlook for Farming Opera.
 tions--SaIes 100000 Bales.

New York. March 9.-lThe cotton market opened weak at decline of to Il points under liquidation and short sales, encour- aged by the lower Liverpool cables. The Liverpool market was expected to report an advance of 1 to 2points to accord with the close of the New York market on Saturday, but prices there at the time of the local opening were to points lower and at the close of the English market this decline had been increased to net to points. In addition to the lower Liverpool cables. as an influence of de- clining prices, the Houston receipts for tomorrow are estimated at 10,5O0 to 11,50O bales. comparing with 5629 bales last year. It was also seen that owing to large elearances the port receipts for the day would considerably exceed previous ex- pectationss and did in fact turn out 8l,524 bales against 25. 300 last year. Private cables attributed the decline at Liver pool both to unfavorable accounts from Manchester and to the withdrawal of spinners from the market In the local market the early selling carried prices d matter or tO 1 points DeloW the open ing, May selling at 9.5i and July at 9S2. At this pont, however the market became much steadier, as a result of covering and fresh supporting orders for the long account. Flood news was very general and fears were expressed as to the out look for farming operations.
 A recount of the stock at Galveston was reported to show loss of 10000 bales. Toward the close. however, the room took profits and prices sagged back trifie, with the market finally steady, to points higher this representing recov- cry from the lowest of 13 to II points on the active options Total sales futures estima ted AGO. 900 bales

cotbran & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York March 9.-The market is act ing beautifully, nothing to make anyone nervous about holdings this morning. A break at the opening gave every one chance to buy in short cotton and con- servatIve traders did so. The market act ed sold out'a and this began to show as the day wore on. August shot up from eo6 to 92l and May ran up about 20 points. July advanced 1s points and then had a break to 3. 45 The feature was short coverings. Shorts were about as nervous this morling as holders were last week The technical position seemed better. much improved by the purging of this dechne. With a report of danger from overflow from the Mississippi river in the south and more rains coming to give color to this report. there was a stampede on the part of bears to get in some of their cotton. We look for bet ter market for a few days, and any scare over floods will easily turn May towards 10 cents again. Now it's q question how shorts will be able to get in the cotton without boosting prices The short August taken in this morning can be sold again on a bulge tomorrow. Unless the sltua- tion becomes acute there will be sharp break on any further advance to enable shorts to cover again.
 But as long as rains continue and floods are promised, the tendency of the market should be towards a higher level Do not sell May cotton. On good bulges over 9h take tha short side of August until floods are really reported, then we may have a wild market for day. or two.

New orI.ans Cotton Marke,,

New Orleans, March 9-The spot cotton market today in the absence of favorable news from any quarter was again very quiet. New York declined points Liv- erpool decimals, this market following with a decline of 1-16 on all grades. The sales were 2l00 bales, including 400 to ar- rive.
 In the contract market heavy liqulda- ton caused a decline of to 5 points in the present crop month. Rains and floods were the weather features and reports from the country were to the effect that farming preparations would be seriously delayed. The bulls claimed that the country was offering no cotton and that overfiows would necessarily make next light port receipts. The claims of the the trend of sentiment changed until fairly steady buying, both by the long side and shorts forced prices up steadily until the close, when the board showed net gains of to points over Saturdays closing figures.
