Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, March 27.-There was no change in early market. The decline of yesterday was believed to be ample and a better market was believed to be pend ing. The weather situation is still bullish factor. It keeps too unsettled and tends to restrain the movement and pre- vent cotton coming forward provided there is any of consequence to come for ward which is not at all probable.
 Todays weather report was good except for portions of Texas and adjoining coun- try, while the government forecast was for rain or showers over the entire belt, and this was enough to advance the mar ket points after opening on small deal- ngs The insight figures point to lS0,OOO, against 122. .000 last week and port receipts 15, GOO, against 1S,O00. The fear of May corner is growing and bulls expect to profit by the census ginning report to be issued before many days, which can scarcely fail to be bullish Threatened strike at Lowell has failed so far to undermine confidence. Cables dull at to decline. Yarns in Manchester dull and little further inquiry.

COTTON MARKET
 GENERALLY STEADY Showed Momentary Periods of
 Weakness at Start
FLUCTUATIONS MARION
Towards the close There Was Some Little lrreaularity, But the Market Was Finally Steady Near
 the Best Figures.

New York. March 27.-The cotton market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of two points. Following the call 1t ruled quiet and showed monetary periods of wec. mess, but was generally steady, with an advancing tendency. Fluc- tuations were very narrow, however. and the net gain for the day was matter of 2 to points. The initial improve ment was the result of better cables than expected, Liverpool making slight conces- sions in response to the local weakness of Thursday, and was also encouraged by the rather less favorable weather reports in certain sections of the belt. The esti- mates for the days receipts showed an in- crease over last year and after the market had undergone some further improvement reactionary tendency became apparent which brought about decline to about the opening figures under renewed unload ing and bear pressure, but the estimates for tomorrow's receipts at leading points were moderate and the weekly statistlcal position made bullish showing, whlch' in connection with moderate support from the bull leaders, brought about another slight advance. The news from New England continued unfavorable, but sen timent continued to take the stand that a strike had been pretty thor oughly discounted, while the figures of exports again displayed an ex- banding tendency clearances for the aay footing up 26,5o, bales. Toward the close there was some little irregularity but the market was finally steady and within to points of the best for the session.
 Total sales of futures estimated at 'o'ooO bales. Port receipts footed up 1464S bales against 195 last year.

New orl.ans Cotton Market.

 cotton market this was the dullest day of the week and devoid of features. The little trading done was at full board prices to fill imperative orders. Sales 775 bales, including 150 to arrive. In the fu- ture market bullish sentiment in favor of the long side was apparent. Receipts were heavier than last week, and much heavier than last year, but bears did not make much of the figures. News from the belt concerning the new crop was more encouraging, but every indication was still for a late crop. Fluctuations were wide enough for the scalpers and they furnished what little life the ring had. During the morning hours May sold up 5 points, July 6 and August 5, and after frequent slight fluctuations the fig ures at the close showed net gains of 2 to / points over yesterdays closing prices.
