 NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 2e-As Liverpool ad vices were more favorable than looked for cur market opened 23 to 32 higher and sub secuently improved 33 to 37 additional on the hrmness of spots and the bullish weekly fig ures. Near the close a slight recession was established on longs realizing making the net gain 60 to 63 poinss on the day
 The amount bro brought into sig sight @ during the and the total marketed from September Ist to late has been 9636 GOO against 8.762- 900 last year The 3l leading interior towns during the week received 5s. 900 against 96.- 900 last year, but the loss in stock was only I3,ooo against 43,ooo last year. The total stock held at these points is now 3l3,ooo against 3I2O00 last year
 The political situation was evidently con- strued more reassuring. as English consols de- clined slightly and French rentes closed 34o points higher, Liverpool cables were very optimistic. and stated that stocks of cotton goods in India and China were almost nil and. therefore, they must soon become large buyers, as they cannot wait until next No- vcmber December to replenish. A cotton famine Is predicted in Lancashire during the summer as the strength of tho statistical po- sition Is unpr ocedented. As sdvices of a sim liar nature were received generally here by those having Liverpool correspondents. 1t had stimulating effect, especially when 1t be- came known that 4, 500 bales were sold on the spot locally. at an advance of la of a cent The decrease of 3S 900 in the interior re- ceipts during the week also accelerated buy ing. as 1t was claimed 1t indicated exhaus- tion winch would be verified, by the movement and the census bureaus estimate to be issued about March 18th. Attention is being direct ed to the new crop months, as advices from Texas are to the effect that the official records for that State. show that from September st to January 3Ist inclusive. the average rainfall has only been 7.l6. inches against 6. a inches last year, or a deficiency of 24 inches It is claimed that the insufhclency of moisture has put no season in the ground and as growth is backward. the outlook for the next crop is unfavorable On the whole the iet'ing is builish, and values are likely to en- nance further. providing international com phcations are injected into the situation.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
RULING GENERALLY FIRM AZ
 TER THE OPENING.
The First March Notice Day, But It Was Soon Evident That All Traders Were being
 Promptly Taken.

New York, Feb. 26.-The cotton market
 opened firm at an advance of 2}GO points
 under active covering and further support
 from spot interests attracted by sensa-
 uonally strong Liverpool cahles and the continued light movement. There was notices. 1t being the first March noti,e day in the local market might prove de- pressing factor but 1t soon became eyi- stopped and while the advanc-s leu to considerable realizing, causing some IT, regularity. the market ruled generally
 firm. The local bull leader who had been reported heavy seller recently was cred tied with having sent some of the notices out. 1t was reported. for cotton of very undesirable grade in some instances re- tected by the New England mills as un- fitted for their purposes but the cotton appeared to be wanted and soon after the opening the party in question was said to be buying March, May and July. The ad- vancing tendency thus created was con tinued and accelerated shortly after mid weekend statement. This showed the into-sight for the week to be under re- gently expectations and a decrease as compared with last year of about 5SOOO bales. This makes an average decrease per week since the first of the month of over the amount the bulls claimed neces- sary to bring out a crop of below 10.OOO.OOO bales and was believed to point to very tlStUtc Supply StdteUleHI although the overland to mills and Can ada and the estimate takings by Southern mills ran under last weeks figures. The estimates for tomorrow's receipts So ran very light, there were rumors that large interest had been caught heavily short and with important spot interests aggressive buyers, the market with only unimportant reactions worked rapidly up- ward with March reaching 14.3s, May 4.73 and July l4.n just before the close. These were net.gains of 77082 points on the po- sitions named. The close was steady at practically the best prices of the day or net 2Sd92 points higher on the general list with February showing the greatest advance. Sales were estimated at 700.t00 bales. The local bull leader was a par ticularly aggressive buyer in the late market with room opinion indicating that his purchases were to recover recent sales. The New Orleans market ruled very firm and many bullish tclegrams were received from there tending to in- crease the bullish excitement here which appeared to be attracting a renewal of public buying,
