MARKETS FOR FUTURES CABLES BETTER THAN HAD BEEN LOOKED FOR. Bad Weather in the South Causes the Bears to Fear Small Receipts.
 Longs Disposed to
 Liquidate.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2s.-The cotton market had hrmer opening, cables being better than expected by about point, with the weather conditions in the South as far as heard from very bad, early ideas regarding the movement leading to fears of small receipts. The first cali showed decline of 2 points on November, with the later months, however, Showing an advance of 2Q5 points. Shorts were very un- easy right after the call 1t appeared that tne pool contingent was prepared to absorb all offerings The spot cotton markets of the south were reported as weaker with a more or less general desire to sell, and a subsidinG demand from spinners, while speculators long of cotton were more disposed to nquidate The market soon ruled easier here and selling became more or less general: the result oi Which was decline to a level I62 points under the closing figures of the previous day within the first hours trading.

term imposed for punishment should go to the fine and forfeiture fund and that the cost should come out of the money received while the cost was being actual ly worked out. It was held by the ofii- cials that If this ruling held that cost would rarely be paid in full as convicts usually get out several months ahead of time for good behavior and in other in stances escape or die. For these reasons a strong fight was made against the ln- novation and now a law has been passed settling the matter finally.
 The new law goes back over the period in which the question has been at Issue and its provisions cover that period.

A B. Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Cotton made 6 further advance in the opening market despite the bulge of yesterday just before the close on very bull.sh visible supply statement. Liverpool also took a more hopeful view of the situation. and again reported satisfactory advance. New fork started two to six points higher, with the feeling mixed, bulls being con- ndent, and bears hopeful, but with no indication of being able to cover except at heavy loss. at present, and greater loss Iater on. IT present prices were not avail ca or. There was some selling early in the day by people who bought yesterday, put those who appear most eager to sell on every advance are quite prompt ir their reappearance on the long side after every bulge. The reports of the various traoe Journals all agree as to the re- markabiy strong situation In the dry goods trade, and so long as this con unIes. the idea Is that the bull campaign VIII continue with unabated vigor, espe- cialiy since there is not the slightest indi- cation of an increased movement any where. The port receipts were estimated at 2,000 against 140O0 last year. Poor wire service interferred with business, and most of the sessions changes were slight. and business small
 Stocks-in the first hour, selling move ment was felt in all departments of the market. Prices declined with little in- terruptfon, an average of per cent with St. Paul, New York Central Rock Is- land, Baltimore and Ohio and others. The selling was based on expectations of a very bad bank statement, and doubt as to the Aldrich bill passing. The indus trial list was less susceptible to the weak ness. than the railroad shares and there was good resistance by the iron and steel stocks, Amalgamated Copper was well supported. The buying in the stocks named was particularly aggressive in late dealings, the orders being executed by brokers who have been active on the recent advance. The bank statement effected a sharp change in speculative sentiment. The figures being much less unfavorable than looked for, and the street was pleased with the stationary amount of loans indicating that borrow CTS had resorted for accommodation to foreign markets and that out of town banks had loaned here directly considera- ble sums of money. Just before the close also Washington despatches indicated a determined effort would be made to secure the adoption of the most essential features of the Aldrich bill influenced by these considerations a sharp rally occurred The market closed slightly higher than last night and strong. Government bonds unchanged.

MARKET. NOTES

The apple market is filled with frozen
fruit: Many barrels were unstable be-
fore they were shipped here. and as a
result they were partially or entirely rot
ten upon their arrival. Within the last
few days many barrels lave been sold
for twenty-five cents or less and some
have been given away. One firm on Cary
street said yesterday that during the
past week they had given away more
than sixty barrels. and now had many
more to dispose Of gratis.
In these cases the barrels are the
only thing of value and commission men
try to give away the apples and keep
the barrels, which are worth ten cents.
While the cold. wintry weather has
damaged much fruit In transit, good ap-
pies are selling at premium, and should
not be COMPOUNDED with fruit that is I'm.
At for sale. The market needs an in
