The advancing tendency was not marked with any special excitement nor was 1t accompanied by any fresh rumors in connection with the operation of the bull clique. though these interests were credited With buying the Spring and Summer positions more freely at the advance. There was. now ever. considerably more nervousness among room shorts who were unapparentiy unsettled In their convictions to the probable course or values by the decided decrease in the move ment as indicated by port receipts for the day amounting to 10. 344 bales. against l7,IOS bales last year The estimates for receipts at leading points. however. were considered full but sentiment accorded more weight to the unfavorable weather outlook, the trmness at Liverpool which, due to advance about i2 point, was 2gS points higher at the close. and to the continued volume of exports, which today were about three times the port receipts. This latter phase of the situation. in connection With the reduced estimates for the weeks in sight, which now points to movement of about 900 bales, against i43, 634 last year. led to expectations of strong week and statistical showing Certain large Wall Street interests were buying more or less freely as were houses with Southern and European connections Late news from the South had bullish average in- cluding steady spot markets and unfavorable weather account and close was at practically the best of the day.

RIVER STEAMER SINKS
GOES DOWN WITHOUT A MO
 MENT'S WARNING.
All the Passengers Were Asleep at the Time and It is Miracle That So Few Were
 Drowned.

Palatka, Fla, March 1s.-The steamer Metamora, of the Lucas Line, running up the Ocklawaha river, sunk today four miles above the mouth of the river. As the passengers were all asleep and the steamer sunk almost without moments warning, 1t is almost a miracle that so few were drowned.
 Rufus King and Walter Watson. both colored residents of Palatka were drowned.
 Manuel Myers, the pilot, who was at the wheel when the boat went down, was the first to discover that the boat was sinking. He immediately called Captain Mercier, who had just retired. Engineer Fred Priest, who was on duty at the time. also noticed the peculiar lurching of the vessel and turned on the midship siphons. but finding no water, he started aft and discovered that the vessel was sinking stern first.
 Engineer Rosingal by this time was on deck and ordered all hands to the cabin top. Tn an instant the vessel made a iurch to port. striking the timber on the north bank of the river and with a crash rebounded to starboard and sank. sub merging the second deck and filling the state rooms with water.
 With an axe Engineer Rosingal broke in the doors and windows, while other members of the crew under Captain Mer- cier carried out the half drowned passen- gers, some of whom had to be passed to the cabin roof over the outer rail.
 The boat lies at angle of almost 45 de- grees., It is thought she can be floated.

NEW ORLEANS. March l9.-Liverpool was more favorable than expected in consequence of Egyptian stimulating orders. Our market re- sporded by opening 2G4 points higher and i'm proved 94l2 additional reports of heavy rains in Texas, a good demand for spots and the anticipation of very bulish weekly statis- ties. The net gain was I3qi5 points on old crop months and l06 on new. The floods in the valley are interfering with the movement and the indications are that the amount to about l33, GOO against l46 900 last year. pro Viding there are not outport clearances to- morrow The decrease in the American visible during the week last year was only 36, 6,oOo; therefore. there was a minus correction of 1000 in the New York stock and as the amount in sight for the week will be less than last year, the chances are that the de- crease fin the visible supply will be consid- eraoly more this year than it was last year Snarp Improvement today was predicted on tnls hypothesis. The future course of values will be regulated by receipts, weather and the demand for spots.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. March Io.-The advance of 10 points in New York and the sharp i'm provement in futures here caused quite an ac- tive demand for spot cotton. Buyers readily took all lots offered at yesterdays board figures and in some instances paid a shade higher A member of one of the largest spot cotton houses fin the city said this morning that there had been more buyers in his sample rooms during the morning than for the last three weeks. Sales. 2, 50 bales including $50 to arrive. Quotations advanced k.
 Futures at the opening were ld3 points up with only moderate volume of trading. Flu lures and spots were not consistent as to prices This morning March contracts sold up to e7o, while middling was quoted at eA or g 63. Some traders claimed that factors were selling in the future market against the cot ton they hold, Hereby getting much better prices for their cotton than in actual spot trading. Receipts were notably light at ports Cables bullish. reportl7~ a renewal of buying for Egyptian account. After the open ing the fluctuations were frequent but with an upward trend.

lover Private Leased Wire.1
 NEW YORK, March I9-Cotton futures in the local market today opened quietly at an advance of 2Q3 points, largely in consequence or the appearance of fresh rain storms in the western sections of the cotton country Shorts seemed to be uneasy at times during the day as result of figures showing that higher stages of water fin the Mississippi were likely and that the crop preparations would be still further delayed. The demand was most notice able for the nearer deliveries and under the circumstances there talk of a fresh out break of enthusiasm among the so-oaled bull syndicate The receipts displayed a material faliing on, the ports being figured at about 10000 bales. against ". GO bales last year. The weekly estimate was reduced and this was taken as bull factor. Cables were not much Of an influence either way and tho general av- craze of private wires displayed a lack of in terest Private telegrams showed hard rains fin the north sections of Texas. Indian Territory and Oklahoma Some stocks were reported at the southern points of accumulation and this feature was worked to the front as a strong factor in the spot markets. The latter were steady with a better demand from domestic spinners and from exporters Holders gener- ally were firm in their views and refused to make concessions in order to effect sales The late market was rather narrow with the trade largely of professional origin. At the close there was rather mixed feling. though fairly good undertone prevailed among the trading interests.

Generally fair weather, with more or less cloudiness has prevailed east of the Missis- sippi under influence of a high barometer area over the middle Atlantic coast; the general depression over the Southwest yesterday has divided, the primary disturbance moving north ward to Minnesota, causing very general rains in it's passage. and a secondary depression over Southern Texas is giving unsettled weather and light rains from Texas northward. while the overflow of cold air from a decided high over Montana has turned the rain to snow over the Middle West, and Is giving decidedly cold CT from North Dakota southward to Kansas, with temperature now as low above zero at Bismarck, N.
