cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, March 8.-At present the operations of traders in foreign mar kets are guided by the movement of cot ton, which is doubtless converting many minds to smaller crop ideas, but at home attention Is directed chiefly to the spot department from whence direct incen- lives for speculative transactions are ex- pected, this Is not to say that diminished receipts are ignored In the local market but the failure of this feature to cre- ate greater activity on the spot leaves the impression that a considerable portion of the contemplated results have been anticipated. The recent heavy spot sales in Liverpool indicate that foreign spin ners have been quite dilatory about re- though the supposition is that among spinners exercise greater foresight and bought literally during the late depres- sion thus partly accounting for the com paratively apathy in the domestic spot transaction for the regular trade channels are concerned. The recent speculative demands superinduced by the uwindling movement forced contracts to an artifi- cial level as compared with the quota tions for spots and a partial adjustment of differences between these departments was instituted today. The surroundings appear to favor the establishment of higher prices ultimately. Stocks of manu- factured goods are not burdened with a surplus the diminished movement prom ises to vindicate small crop estimates, and preparations for the new crop have been retarded by unsatisfactory weather. Thus the best policy seems. for the pres ent, to buy on breaks.

STOCK LETHARGY STILL HANGS ON Delay of Securities Decision is
 Still Felt PRICES VERY IRREGULAR FIutter for a Time Either Above or Be- low Mondays Level, But With
 out Getting Far
 Away.
PRICES VERY IRREGULAR

New York, March s.-Yesterday's disap- pointment over the non-appearance of the Northern Securities decision still weighed upon the market today and threw 1t back into the rut of dullness and sluggishness which restricted it's movement last week. It was evident that yesterdays brief spurt of activity had resulted in closing up pretty much all the short Interests which was opened as a result of the ex- pected handing down of the Northern Securities decision.
 It Is expected that as the week draws to close short lines will be put out again in a tentative way to be covered again Monoay afternoon should the decision still he withheld. The movement of prices to- day was not consistently fin one direction for as much as an hour during the whole session. Prices fluttered for time either above or below yesterdays leveb but without getting far from that in either direction.
 A more cheerful tone in the foreign mar kets helped the opening. The London set clement was reported to be progressing favorably and encouragement was expect ed that Paris once more showed disposi- ton to buy stocks in London. The state ment in the annual report of President Gould of the Missouri Pacific of the pur- chase of sufficient amount of Wabash preferred stock to consolidate its control was the subject of some comment but was chiefly notably for the entire absence of effect upon the market. The, passing of the community of interest idea as fac tor in the stock market movement IS thus strikingly manifested under the shadow of the threatened disjunction of the com panies composing the Northern Securities company.
 The rise in the local fractions was att tributed to the prospect of street ser vice over the Williamsburg, East river bridge, Pennsylvania was freely offered with accompanying rumors of prospec- tive Issue of $20 100000 of car trust bonds, subsequently denied. There was sug- gestions heard that Pennsylvania in mak- ing the fight for the differential In favor of Philadelphia on lake grain traffic might incur some adverse influences in the carrying out of it's New York ter minal projects. Reports of flood damages and construction was another influence.
 There was an intimtion in circulation that spring reduction in the schedule prices of anthracite might not go into effect In April. owing to the prospect of strike of bituminous coal miners and the probable increased demand for anthra- cite to result. This and all other sug gestions had but a feeble effect on prices. Northern Securities made further de- cline in the curb market. This had a sinister effect and combined with the persistent selling of Pennsylvania under mined the market and made the closing weak at the last.
 The sluggish indirect movement of stocks was communicated to the bond sec tion by sympathy; total sales, par value, $f,5S0,000 United States bonds were un- changed on call.

Caldwell 6 Wards cotton Letter.

By Fl. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans, March s.-As Liverpool was better than expected our market opened 5 to 6 higher and subsequently, Improved to on fresh buying, due to tN light port and interior receipts and the small estimated receipts for tomorrow at New Orleans, Galveston and Houston. Later in the session a general desire to iiduidate prevailed In consequence of re. ports from New York that the bull leader there seemed to be selling out quietly through brokers. As result of this val ues broke 46 to 4s from the top. Shorts covering near the close caused an en- hancement of to 10 from the bottom, making the net loss 25 or 26 points on the day.
 The movement on its face continues ex- tremely bullish, and Liverpool is inc clined to support the market. The strong statistical situation, the expectation of a very bullish census estimate, indicating a crop of under 100000 and the optimistic sentiment prevalent in America, all have a tendency to maintain prices. As an off- set to this spinners refuse to buy spots, causing practical stagnation of move ment and a relative accumulation of stocks at the ports and interior towns. As long as such conditions exist and our market Is out of line. we deem it advisable to operate on conservative lines.

Bartlett Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, March s.-Wheat-For brief period after the opening the market showed promise of doing better, but it was short lived. A prominent profession al forced prices down. Hamburg sent some unfavorable reports in regard to German crop. Liverpool reported some , improvement In the Argentine strike st- uation, but direct advices were to the contrary. Outside points reports some improvement in the wheat and four de- mand on the break. Outside markets did not fully respond to our weakness, Minne- apolis and Duluth in particular ruling relatively strong. The seaboard reported twelve loads taken for export. Liver pool closed ssc to %c lower. Estimated cars tomorrow, 30
 Corn-Up to the last hour it looked as if corn would repeat yesterdays experi- ence and maintain it's strength in the face of the weakness In wheat May was strong, selling over one cent a bushel higher. Towards the close, however, prices gave way, particularly the July which was under heavy pressure. News was rather meagre. Liverpool was half to %c higher. The weather is mild and rather against any immediate improve ment in the grading. The seaboard re- pUtcu nttie Dettef demand TOT cash corn on the break. Cars estimated for to- morrow. 129.
 Oats-The experience in the oat pit was replica of that in corn Offerings were light during the morning but buying was on no such scale as yesterday. Commits sion trade was generally on the long side. Cash market was unchanged to half a cent up. Estimated receipts for tomorrow, 210 cars.
 Provisions-The hogs news was bu1lish. Receipts at the yards were 10000 under the estimate. Weight was light, and prices Dc to 1oc higher. Shipments of meats and lard were heavy, compared with year ago. There was a fair pit trade with the outside interest appar- ently inclined to take hold again. The weakness elsewhere on the floor was not reflected in this market Estimated re- ceipts for tomorrow, 25.ooo hogs.

cotHran a Co.'s Stock Letter,

By ware & Leland
 New York, March S.-The stock market was irregular today. Price fiuctuated nar- rowly. The short covering movement in the morning did not last and the list sagged under an attack on Pennsylvania. Traders were bulish and then turned on the market. offering down some stocks freely on the floor. There was not much accomplished, however. and the general market shaved steadiness. The outlook does not favor much activity at present, and the best plan is to scalp as do the floor traders. There is considerable bear talk on Pennsylvania, and bull talk on sugar. We believe there Is logic in each and would act accordingly.
 The banks are losing to the sub-treas- ury rather heavily already this week. and it is probable that the statement at the end of the week will not be good. This outlook will encourage the bears some what, and they may attack the active stocks on rallies. Under these circum- stances we believe sales on rallies for turns will prove profitable as we'll as purchases for small profits when the mar ket Is weak.

 The stock market closed heavy and lower under distinct pressure. From traders who claimed also that some of the selling was realized of long stock Weakness in northern securities on curb probably had some influence especially as realizing there came from houses who are occasionally used by Morgan and Hill in- terests. Traders thought floor account in common was not strong. The talk of violation of Chinese neutrality and the strong feeling from sources usually well informed to the effect that the PennsyI- vania will make additional use of car trust certificates helped the weakness.
