NEW ORLEANS. Feb. o.-Eariy Liverpool advices were better than looked for. but our market nevertheless opened unchanged to low CT. subsequently declined 7n9 additional on the later easiness in Liverpool, the heavy port and interior receipts. the large estimated re- ceipts at New Orleans Galveston and Houston for tomorrow and the quieter feeling existing in spots. Near the close fresh buying and the absence of sellers occasioned an advance of 4@5 from the bottom, making the net loss ?. points the day. Manchester cables say that while fair amount of business was done during the past week the general expectations point to period of inactivity owing to a diminution of offers from India and smaller transactions for Chinese account. as China is well supplied now with most descriptions. The estimated receipts tomorrow for New Or leans. Galveston and Houston aggregate 37 900, against 2l 900 last year The total port re- ceipts for the three days are 5000 against 30. 900 last year. The semi weekly interior receipts estimated at 62 900. against 32 GOO last year. Generally fair weather is pre- dicted to prevailed in Texas, Oklahoma In dian Territory. Arkansas and Louisiana during the next 36 hours. although showers are in dicated for the extreme southern portion of this district and furry for the ex- treme northern portion. Sentiment Is still very bullish, yet it is questionable whether pres ent values be maintained with a continu- once of increased receipts.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The cotton market opened quiet at decline of point under sell ing Tor both accounts. which was chiefly en- courasea by the outlook for receipts. The early estlmate Tor the ports pointed a movement oL apout 29.oOO bales compared with i9- 0of bales last year and the interior receipts esso have recently shown an expanding ten dency. New Orleans showed a disposition to drag after the call and Liverpool, where the market opened unchanged and advanced + to A. also declined. closing about points lower. The weaker tone resulting from these fniu- ences was responsible for decline of from to points on the active option from which the market was rallied toward the close by buying room shorts and commission houses with the list finally steady at a net decline of 2Q5 points. The estimates for New Or leans and Galveston for tomorrow had much to % with the midday selling. the expectations Tor New Orleans being lo0oo to 2 900 bales. against 5.S53 last year. while Galveston looks for i6.0o0 to I7.ooo bales, against IoIe7
 Aside from the movement the news had bull ish indications. The Southern spot markets were slimly held at generally unchanged prices Liverpool reported spot sales of i2,0o0 bales and news from various dry goods markets
 Including Manchester distinctly encour- aging. It was these phases of the stua- tion and on the theory that the recent Iiaui- dation has pretty well cleared out the weaker long interest that today's buyers were operat- ing. Sales were estimated at 200. 900 bales.

The present attitude of Liverpool, which shows a leaning toward lower values in the fact cf favorable trade reports. has cut out the transatlantic demand fin great part rnd the big end of the business now being done is for purposes of speculation.

contend with very bearish comparison this week, still there is no dismay in the bull ranks and the resumption of a forward move- ment in the market is taken us a matter of course, especially as surroundings are so bull ish in many respects. Port receipts today were estimated at 32, GOO, against 20, 900 last year. Room traders were in control all the forenoon and the amount of business was very small and both factions simply held back until the present week has gone by when there is a belief we shall witness greater activity. Ca pies were iM2 points lower. At one time our market showed a decline of 96fio ponts but iater there was recovery, final prices being 2Q4 points lower than Saturdays close.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-For a while about noon today it looked though the market would break open. This was due to stop loss orders and selling carried May to 30 and through that figure while March down to 572 and this all took place without what might be called free selling; that is to say at no time was a general business doing. If a few thousand bales sends the market in this fashion. what will happen when receipts con- tinue this way for some days. We to have a week of rather free movement-free when compared with light movement last year. On this comparison not likely to advance very much. IL will mean very strong ket if prices do not react more than i4c. As long as conditions favor decline for the time being at least believe in taking that view of the market. There is really nothing to in duce buying at this level and with receipts this week likely to run 100. GOO bales over last year, there is more on the selling than on the buying side The fact that prices have to be held by artificial pulling each day is not a good sign. If the market can't go up on so strong a position, there is likely to be a change on any change in the movement. It is a good price and while know that the figures this week are against the market. the position is comparatively simple. There is every inducement to take profits and hold of for this week. In the event of break at the opening tomorrow, would buy for quick profits. But we would take profits on the first reaction looking to lower prices later In the week.

SAYS. "DR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS CURED ME OF SPINAL TROUBLE AND RECOMMEND THEM.''

Some years ago Mrs Mary A. Lauma of No. TOP East Fayette street, Syra- cuSe, N. Y, wife of A. Lauma, the manufacturing jeweler of that city, sustained an injury to her spine by falling on a slippery sideWal k. Six months later she took to her bed and was an invalid for years, in fact. until she tried Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and was cured. She says:
 "My trouble was a spinal irritations but the doctors could not determine the exact nature of it. l consulted a number of eminent physicians, per haps ten or twelve in all, and took treatment from some of them. l tried massage and electricity, the latter af fOrding temporary relief. Perhaps It. was because l took so much medicine, at any rate my stomach gave out and I was troubled with indigestion and gas on the stomach. l had peculiar. fy unpleasant feeling in my head and there was a numbneSS in my limbs. At this time I seemed confirmed in. valid.
 "A friend of mine induced me tC give Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People trial. Of course 1 knew that nothing was going to cure me in an in. Stant and l tried them faithfully. Ali. ter taking three boxes I began to feel better and I had taken thirteen boxes altogether when I was cured. l have recommended pr Williams Pink Pil' to every ailing person l have met anc 1 am glad to do sO."
 Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are the only eminent spina tonic and their distinction in this re- spect is due to their double tonic ac tion, on the blood and on the nerves The nervous system, like all the other parts of the human body, receives 1t! nourishment from the blood. Dr Vii liams' Pink Pills cure nervous trouble by supplying directly to the blood the elements required to rebuild the vast ed nerve fibre.
