Baxter & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, March 2.-The cotton
market was weak this morning. There
was a decline at Liverpool much
greater than looked for and private
cables were anything but assuring;
buyers at the close of last week did
not like the looks of things and were
anxious to sell out. The market has
had a good rise and there was there
fore no great disappointment because
of halt this morning. The surround
ings are as bullish as ever, but the
more cautious element feel it is best
to wait a while before carrying prices
up too rapidly. 1t is felt that every
thing favors a resumption of upward
movement. The Texas reports to-day
indicated such heavy floods that there
is every likelihood of a moderate
movement this week and for some
time to come. The in sight figures at
close February are S,996,0o0. against
1887, 900 last year. 1t is still hard to
see how the crop is going to exceed
last year since there is very little
probability of the much talked of I'M
picked fields cutting much figure for
rest of season. Port receipts $4,000,
against 26,0 900 last year.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. March 2.-The closing
rally in stocks on Saturday had some
slight influence upon the opening deal
ings to-day, but the advance was in
significant and the market soon re-
lapsed into dullness and neglect, and a
slow downward movement. The de-
crease in net earnings for January re-
ported by st. Paul was an unfavora-
BILE influence, although it was sought
to explain it by the high price for fuel
which had to be paid. Amalgamated
Copper showed some strength owing 20
the further advance in the metal, both
here and in London, and Pennsylvania
made some resistance to the depres-
sion.
Late in the day again the unexplain-
ed advance in Manhattan induced some
recovery in prices, but the closing was
unsteady and very dull. The money
situation continues to weigh upon the
market, and the professional traders
made the varying rumors regarding the
chances of the Aldrich financial bill the
nominal motive of their operations.
There was no money to loan on time
in Wall street at less than 5 per cent.
to-day, and many lenders were not
willing to accommodate any but their
regular customers. The ruling rate for
cali money was 81 per cent. Some re-
lief was afforded by large sales OF
bankers bills in the exchange market
in the process of borrowing foreign
funds. Discounts were easier in ten
sion, and there was reported an expec-
tation that the bank rate would be re-
duced there this week. The New York
banks have already lost $2,136, 900 to the
sub-treasury since Friday and that In
stitution had a credit balance, at the
clearing house this morning of 1914, 305,
showing the continued drain of funds
there. A contraction of bank reserves
is normal to this season, and Is expect
ed to go further. But the surplus re-
serve of $5,951,900 OF the Associated
Banks disclosed by Saturdays bank
statement is the lowest for this sea-
son since 1890. Last weeks insiRnifI-
cant contraction in loans leaves that
item OF the clearing house banks still
practically at the highest record I'm their
history. IL is estimated also that Sc
curities lately authorized, but rather
more remotely in prospect run up TO
over 5000, 100000. Sales Of bonds for
February this year In the stock mar
ket decreased nearly s20.000000 in par
value, or over % per cent. from the
sales OF February OF last year. These

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 2.-The cotton mar
Ket opened easy at a decline of to 6
points, and following the call worked
stlll little lower under liquidation and
some snort sales encoura ged by the
disappointing Liverpool cables which
due to show decline of about 2 to 8
points on the local close of Saturday,
were to Z points lower before our
opening. The outlook for receipts was
also more favorable. Early estimates
pointed to a movement for the day of
about p, 900 bales and the actual figures
showed 2S,712 bales, against 1924 bales
last year.
The easier tone was of short duration,
however, for clique brokers actively
supported the market at the lower
level. There were reports of floods In
certain important sections, and while
the estimated receipts at leading points
Tomorrow indicated full movement,
the South sent buying orders here. Liv-
erpool showed some little improvement
at her close, and the exports for the
day were seen to be heavy, amounting
in fact to 51,S51 bales.
The continued support of the pool and
the f1rmness of spot markets through
out the South brought in good buying
at the lower levels, and prices were
rapidly advanced, to % points, March
selling at 10.26c, and May at 1017c.
THESE prices surpassed the previous
nigh point by ten points on March and
points on May. From this level there
was slight reaction under profit-tak-
ing, and the market was finally steady,
net to II points higher. Total
sales Of futures estimated, 100000 bales.
