 NEW YORK, March H.-Cotton futures in the local market today opened steady in tone with first prices unchanged to advance of points. There further small advances the day wore on. the better tendency being largely the result of early cables which were surprisingly firm in tone, in that they failed to make a full response to the weakness on this side There was another buying impetus the favorable climatic conditions in the central and western sections of the belt The receipts on the other hand were quite liberal There considerable buying for the bear account and the short interest Is believed to have been reduced during the day. However, later in the day, the longs were disposed to reduce commitments and selling out of long stun became quite feature. Such operations were traceable to the seriousness of the labor situation fin some of the New England districts It was figured that a strike at Lowell in- down. Such information was hardly favorable especially in view of the weakness in the stock market, the calling of loans and pros poets for higher money. The spot market was dull There was but little demand from spin ners or exporters, but holders in the South are reported to be averse to making conces- sions. The weekly statistics in most were about expected. Crop news from the South was mixed. centers reporting active preparations for the next crop, others being to the effect that the crop would be very late in many instances At the close there firm feeling and bulls were confident The professional element showed itself to be in full charge of the situation. The South did little either way and commission houses had few orders of conseQuence,

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
FLUCTUATIONS WERE NARROW
 THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
The Net Gain for the Day Matter of 2 to 5 Points-Liverpool Oab- less Some Better Than Had
 Been Expected.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The cotton market opened steady at unchanged prices to an ad. vance of points Following the call It ruled Quiet and. showing momentary periods or weak ness was generally steady with an advance In tendency, Fluctuations were very narrow, now ever and the net gain for the day was mat ter or 2g5 points. The initial improvement was the result of better cables than expected, Liverpool making slight concessions in response to the local weakness of Thursday, and was also encouraged by the rather less favorable weather reported in certain sections of the belt. The estimates for the days receipts showed an increase over last year and after the market had undergone some further i'm provement, a reactionary tendency became ap- parent which brougrt about decline to about the opening figures. under renewed unload ing and heavy pressure but the estimates Tor tomorrow's receipts at leading points were moderate and the weekly statistical position made bullish showing which in connection with moderate support from the bull leaders brought about another slight advance. The news from New England continued unfavor- able, but sentiment seemed to take the stand that strike had been pretty thoroughly dis counted. while the figures of exports again displayed an expanding tendency, clearances for the day footing up 26.535 bales. Toward the close there was some little irregularity but the market was finally steady and within l83 points of the best of the session. Total sales of futures estimated at 75,00 bales. Port receipts footed up 1464S bales against S,lsS last year.

 NEW ORLEANS, March 27-The change in the Liverpool market today was insignificant. Spots and deliveries recorded a loss of about points, though further recession may have been established If there was any effort to pro- ceed a parallel course with American mar kets, Operators in the English market were ev- idently content to do nothing In the absence of definite ideas about the weekly statistics There the mixture fin opinions of traders here Slight fluctuations occurred in accordance with the nature of prompt orders received and a report that the levee had brok- en in the vicinity of Greenville, Miss, cover ing some fine cotton territory, contributed a steady tone. Aside from this. the prevailing disposition rather toned toward quietness. The high level of prices. diSquieting money situa- tion and labor difficulties conduce to conserv- atism. notwithstanding that the statistical po- sition and lateness of planting give poor prom ise of adequate supplies It Is a situation that contains great possibilities, and actual devel- opments will be watcsd with unusual inter est. Our Greenville hIis., correspondent con- firms break in levee at LaGrange, five miles south of Greenville immediately south, af- fectng Washington, Sharkey, lssaquena and North Warren Counties.

 NEW ORLEANS. March 27.-Liverpool ad- vices were not encouraging. but our market nevertheless, opened points higher old crop months and 1 point new. Shortly af- ter, however. the larger weekly in sight move- ment than anticipated occasioned slight recess sion. The absence of sellers and fresh buying later on the expectation of very bullish visi- ble supply statement caused an advance of to points from the bottom on near posi- tions and to points on late, making the net gain to points on old crop months and to points on new. The amount brought into sight this week was 129 900 against 121, 900 last year and the total marketed from September to date has been 9,4S5, 00G against 9.352 900 last year. The strong statistical position is recognized by everyone in the trade. and so much so that no disposition is shown to sell old crop months The existing high level of values has been established on this basis, but the outsiders who predicted their operations on this theory have realized. believing that 10 cents is high tough. The withdrawal of con- servative traders and outsiders from the mar ket has killed speculation for the present. and 1t looks as if new features will have to en- ter the situation before activity again reigns.

 ERv privata wfra

NEW YORK, March 27.-There was no change In the early market The decline of yesterday believed to be ample and a bet ter market was believed to be pending. The weather situation is still bullish factor. It keeps too unsettled and tends to restrict the movement and prevent cotton coming forward. provided there is any of consequence to come forward, which Is not at all probable. Today's weather report good except for portions of Texas and adjoining country while the gov ernment forecast was for rain or showers over the entire belt and this enough to ad- vance the market points after\ the opening, small dealings The into-sight figures for the week pointed to l3O.O0O against l22 900 last against S,OOO last year. The fear of May corner is growing and bulls expect to profit by the census ginning report to be Issued be- fore many days which can scarcely fail to be bullish. The threatened strike at Lowell has failed far to undermine confidence. Cables dull at 1 to points decline. Yarns in Man chester dull and little further inquiry.

 Trading in wheat was again dull and tbs ,s & fne part or opened unchanged to shade higher at 72x @72% the steadiness being due to the unfa- outside markets and report from Paris show ing sharp break in -four prices soon changed the sentiment in the pit and longs became aG- tive sellers and there was also considerable short selling.
