New York March 10.-Cotton opened
at unchanged prices to six points ad-
vance on moderate transactions. Re-
vised figures of the Galveston stocks
showed $4,000 less cotton there than
was supposed, and this of course helped
the market. The early weather news
also was bUllish. There was more or
less rain in all directions, more espe-
cially in the Southwest, and in the
Little Rock district : the mois-
ture reached 2.66 inches. Cor
pus Christie, Fit. Smith, Mem
phis, Palestine, New Orleans, and
intermediate country had rains and
there was more or less elsewhere, in
GLIDING the Atlantic states, and this
combined with previous fears of seri-
Gus overflow simply put an end to all
bearish operations for the time being.
The New York stock is running very
low, and it is taken for granted that
there will be a squeeze before a great
while. The weather has given the bull
CLIQUE complete control of the market,
and there is no telling what will be the
outcome. 1t is quite certain that the
next crop will make a very late start,
and the situation in every respect
favors the long side of the market
Port receipts $4,000 against $4,000 last
year. Prices hardened after the first
hour, and there was considerable ac-
tivity with a sharp advance before
noon. Cables were firm at Z to net

$4,000 bales, against $4,000 last year.
Heavy rains over the entire cotton belt,
especially in the Mississippi valley,
where flood conditions prevail, have
counteracted the adverse factors and
brought about the covering demand.
Speculative buying was not so strong
as on the last advance, though the To-
cal situation is stronger than ever. I'm

10 the free movement of cotton to mar
ket, and floods were reported in the
lower Mississippi valley with rains
more or less general, ranging from a
trace at Charleston to $50 inches at
Little Rock. This state of affairs was
regarded as favorable to the opera
lions of the bulls, for while it is rec
ognlzed that floods at this season have
usually proved beneficial to the COM
ing crop, the point upon which the To-
cal short contingent lay the greatest
stress at present is the movement and
with the weather map apparently re-
hecting the probability of a decrease
IN the figures for the near future, COW
erlng became more insistent and the
market received fresh support from the
bulls, rallied sharply. Speculation was
active and prices worked rapidly up
ward to the close, which was steady
at net advance of 8 to % points Sales
OF futures estimated at 500, 900 bales.
Aside from the weather and flood news
the days developments were not en-
tlrely favorable to prices. The port re-
celptS, Notwithstanding the weather,
turned out in excess of early eXpecta-
tons, amounting to 1882 bales,
against 29,006 bales last year, while
the interior receipts for the half week
footed up 45,93S bales, against 39,523
last year. The estimated receipts for
leading points tomorrow were also lib
eral, but the reduction in the Calves
ton stock on an actual count was in
creased to $4,000 bales, and this, it is
said, will be deducted from the total
amount brought into sight to date

The Southern spot markets did not
respond to the advance in futures, re-
naming generally unchanged, though
firm, while the New York market was
advanced 20 points to 10.10c. But the
weather conditions and the clique sup
port continued the dominating factors
with the close at practically the best
figures of the day.

 All day Sunday a strong wind blew from the northwest and the clouds looked threatening. By dark the wind had in creased to a storm. becoming more and more fierce until after midnight, when the storm ragged in all of it's fury. Build ings were unroofed in places and avn ings blown away.
 Farmers report that great damage was done to the cotton crop.
 The dry. hot weather which preceded the storm had caused the cotton to open and the fields were white The storm blew the cotton out in great quantities and twisted and tangled the weed.
 Other crops suffered, but the damages were nothing like that done to the cotton crop.
