COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 4.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet with first prices I'M
changed to l lower, and continued
quiet throughout the session, being at
first rather easy in tone on account
of disappointing cables and heavy re-
ceipts, though no further decline was
effected, then covering set in which,
in connection with moderate commits
sion house buying presumably for the
long account, closed the market steady
at a net advance of 6 to points TAX
ing into consideration the showing
made by Liverpool this morning which
was about point lower than due on
our closing of yesterday, the opening
OF the local market was fairly steady.
particularly in view of the large re-
ceipts, estimates pointing to about 3d.
600 bales as compared with 20 40S bales
last year. The Houston estimate also
was heavy, being nearly three times
that of the actual last year, but the
shorts showed no very great DISPOSE
ton to operate aggressively and COM
mission houses had buying orders, sup
posed to originate largely with the
South, where the relative firmness of
the spot markets is a factor in the
formation of sentiment. The esti-
mates for to-morrow's receipts at New
Orleans and Galveston proved disap-
pointing to the bears, being smaller
than expected, though still slightly in
excess of the actual figures last year.
They were sufficient to start a wave
of buying in New Orleans, which car
ried values up sharply and brought in
squirt of buying partly for the ac-
count of certain Wall street interests
who have recently held a bearish po-
sition to the market. Sales, futures,

operators that the action of the mar
ket was largely due to the foregath-
ering of a number of well known stock
operators at a Southern resort abund-
antly supplied with special wire sery-
ice. Included in the gathering is the
operator whose name had been asso-
ciated with the principal stock mar
ket sensations for many months past.
Whatever the source of the buying the
movement was spotty and irregular
and the earlier movements were not

The operations in Reading were on
a growing scale during the day and
il became easily the leader of the
market in the late dealings with a
rise of over points above last night.
There was no news to explain the
known to be accommodating in the
treasures of all Of the coal carrying
railroads. Semi Official confirmation
was given to the assertions that the
Union Pacific and the Rock Island
had been brought together in some
sort of an agreement insuring mutual
advantage by interchange of business.
The publication of this report was
probably the cause of the revived
rumors that the proposed merger of
the Gould railroad properties was al
most ready for announcement. The
stocks of the various companies affect
ed by these rumors were not amongst
the speculative leaders of the day.
There was an opening squirt in Rock
Island, but the stock fell back almost

ly our market opened l to points low
er and declined 2 additional on the
large semi-weekly interior movement
and the heavy port and interior re-
ceipts of to-day. Later in the session
the good demand and steadiness of
spots locally brought in fresh buying,
occasioning an advance of 10 from the
bottom, making the net gain to s
points on the day. The semi-weekly
receipts at thirteen leading interior
towns were $1,000, against $4,000 last
year, and the shipments were $4,000
this year, against $4,000 last year In
other words, the amounts received
was over twice as much as last year,
while the loss in stock was practically
the same. The port receipts for the
five days aggregate 100000, against 81
900 last year. The indications point to
a continuance of free receipts for the
balance of the week, and the large
amount of cotton in transit is indica-
tive of liberal receipts next week The

Baxter & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 4.-There was little
doing in early local market to-day.
Hesitation was displayed here, at Liv-
erpool and New Orleans. Prices open
ed a shade lower in some instances
but there was an utter absence of bust
ness. This resulted from the run of
receipts, regarding which no two per-
sons agree. One side has it that there
Is nothing remaining to be marketed
and that the present movement repre-
sents the tail end of the crop. Others
contend that there is plenty more to
come, and that it will continue to come
for weeks and months. There is no
telling which view is the correct one
We have no safe guide for action ex-
cept the actual movement so far, and
this is quite bullish, and admitting
that the much talked of unmarketed
cotton will reach as much as
100000 bales which is very
liberal allowance. The question arises,
where is a crop larger than IL 900 900
to come from? There was more or less
rain in the South to-day; receipts 34,-
600 against 10000 last year. Neill was
again estimating the size of the crop,
but his statement was wholly ignored.
Gables were steady at 1 decline. Man

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, Feb. 4.-There was a
better demand for spot cotton to-day.
Many buyers are working under limi-
tations below board figures, and on the
other hand, many factors are holding
their lists under instruction for full
and higher prices. Quotations IN
changed.
The market for contracts was very
quiet and the transactions made We're

slight upturn under the influence of

tainly discounts a great deal. The out
side public evidently thinks so, because
they refuse to follow the advance
leaving the market entirely in the
hands of cotton operators. With a
steady relative increase in the amount
marketed and restricted spinners' TAX
ings the statistical position can be
weakened in a shorter time than an
ticipated. Therefore we suggest that
our friends be conservative in their
future operations. Should receipts,
however, run on an increased scale the
market will ultimately decline or ad-
vance further If the tendency of the
movement is to decrease under last
