MISCELLANEOUS

NEW YORK COTTON, March 1.-THE cotton
market opened quiet but firm. at unchanged
prices to an advance of two points Outside bust
ness was very scarce and subsequent variations
in prices were quite narrow, with the room con-
tingent In control. The general undertone Of
the market was still nervous on fears of re-
newed demonstrations by the bull clique. Other
wise the local sentiment would appear to have a
bearish cast on the large estimate for receipts
at Houston tomorrow: The official estimate
for to-day's port receipts, on. the other hand
was less than last year, being 10000 bales,
against %, 121 last. year.. Gable news was. not
a factor either way, with public orders from
Liverpool scarce but on the buying hand rather
than for selling cotton. Private sales were
scarce. with orders from the south few and far
between. s;f1sszs s+..e5S
