COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb 8.-While the serious
news from the Far East had naturally
a depressing influence, the relative
firmness at Liverpool caused a some
what firmer opening in the cotton mar
ket to-day and first prices were II to
% points higher on the active months.
Following this there was a further adj
vance carrying May up to 14.35c and
July to l440c, a net gain of 38m41
points, but toward the end of the first
half hour there was a tremendous sell
ing from outside sources and the mar
ket in less than ten minutes had broken
nearly a full cent from the best point
of the morning. Around IL o'clock the
most sensational changes of the sea-
son occurred. May, which had sold down
to 1850, jumped to 1850 and broke to
13.14c, while July which had been de-
pressed to 13.50c, rallied to 1880 and
then broke to 1880, all inside of TWEEN
ty minutes.
March had declined to 12.41c; May,
13.02c and July to 13.0Sc, this being a
net loss from the best prices of the
morning of from 119 to 1873 points. At
this level there was considerable cover
ing and by l o'clock the market had
recovered to about last Saturdays
closing prices. 1t was reported that
the advance had been partially due to
anxiety to make the l o'clock or mar
gin prices as favorable as possible
Later there was another moderate
down turn under liquidation by buyers
on the early break, but in the late
trading there was aggressive bull buy
ing and the market was finally steady
at net decline of 9035 points. The
days sales were estimated at zoo. 600
bales.

Turpentine sold late yesterday aft
ernoon at 60 cents gallon, which is
NC higher than the official closing
quotations posted at the Board of
Trade.
The market is firm. and factors
confidently expect it to remain so.
Indeed the more optimistic ones pre-
dict that spirits will soar to 65 cents
before many days have passed. The
receipts continue very light only 157
casks being reported yesterday while
70 casks were sold. The exports only
amounted to go casks.
ROSINS-The only change in the
rosin market was that two prices were
quoted on w. w, $500 and $4.05;
and some sales were made at the
latter figure.
While "pales" are not held in es-
pecial favor, the entire list of resins
has a firm tone. This is especially
true of mediums, and commons. The
sales yesterday amounted to 1,41S bar
rels, receipts zoos barrels, and ex-
ports, 2.812 barrels.

lowest prices of the morning. A large
business was done, amid considerable
excitement, in the late session.

Like picture machine film was
the huctuation of the cotton mar
ket yesterday. In the face of a dou-
BILE threat, the great confagration that
swept Baltimore and the severance of
diplomatic relations between the Mika-
do and the Car. it more than held it's
own. Either one of these contributing
causes would, under ordinary circum-
stances have thrown the market into a
state bordering a panic, and the only
logical reason to be given for the fail
ure of a tremendous slump is that the
trouble in the Far East has been
threatening so long that the actual dec
laration of war had been discounted.
At all events the bulls were under the
market, and despite the falling off at
Liverpool, New Orleans sustained the
market with remarkable fervor.
Liverpool opened from IL to rs points
up, but liquidation soon followed, and
the market broke a cent and then raj
lied under considerable covering.
Aggressive bull buying characterized
the New Orleans ring. and the market
closed on the curb much higher than
on Change. The only seeming incon-
venience caused by the fire was the de-
lay in the transmission of messages be-
tween Savannah and New York. Mes
sages were telephoned from the latter
city to Richmond, where Geographic
communication was once again re-
sumed.i Owing to the fact that the
Western Union building was deVoured
by the flames. the Cotton Exchange
failed to receive several important
quotations, which are of necessity
omitted from the Morning News tables.
There was practically nothing doing
in spots. and no sales were reported.
The fob. brokers quoted a purely
nominal market and lac was asked
both at the opening sand closing, on a
basis Of good Iniddling.
Exporters are now sellers instead of
buyers. and the interior is still sitting
on its cotton.
Conservative factors and brokers be-
lieve that the war will have but little
if any effect. upon the market.
The ginners' report is expected at
noon to-day, and knowing ones predict
that it will be bullish. and that the
market Will advance accordingly.

71S bales being brought in, against
1872 last year.

The Difficulty of Making Predictions
Is Appreciated.

New York, Feb. S.-We suggested on
Saturday that sharp break this
morning should be taken advantage of
to buy cotton. The market broke to
almost 10 cents. and has since recov-
cred to the extent OF nearly 81 bale,
with a very firm footing after the
close. With wild fluctuations as we
are having it is dangerous to make any
predictions. but we feel that the worst
has been seen. especially as there has
been enormous liquidation in this mar
ket for account of New Orleans par
ties. so that the long interest must now
be pretty well liqudated.
II the ginners' report tomorrow con-
firms the small crop views, we may see
