Virgin G Faunce's Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK. March 2I.-operations in the cotton market were more normal to-day, but the price variations were still attended by more or less nervousness. The leading traders appeared to have recovered c good part of the confidence in the situation which they dropped In consequence of the Sully failure. There also seemed to be disposition to figure that cotton on its merits did not warrant any fur ther decline In prices. Hence there was good line of support. The buying of spots and futures was quite substantial Spot hand iers and spinners were credited with taking quite lot of the staple here and in the South. Hence. the movement of the market as whole. was better generally than looked for. The foreign reports were reassurinE and en- couraged longs to no small extent. On the bet ter levels there was considerable selling, and the latter indicated that while the larger trad CTS were confident. there were many at the moment who were satisfied to scalp the market in both directions for small profits. Brok- CTS working for New England millsi were buyers of cotton while Philadelphia houses were sellers of the July option. Commission houses appeared to be buying more than they sold. There was an estimate for heavier interior re- ceipts. but this estimate appeared to have little effect at the moment. Port receipts to-day fig ured 900n bales. againest S.69S last week and iA 3eA last year. For the week, the re- ceipts were estimated at 45 900 bales against oA040 last week and ee $40 last year. At New Orleans to-day the receipts were 2.625. against %.564 last year. At Houston the re- eeipts were 2.7oi. against 2, 330 last year. The late market generally was rather fever
 ish. with the professional interests mainly in control.

iTsy Private Wire from GlIbert & Clay.D
 NEW ORLEANS March 2I.-A moderate re- covery in prices for cotton was established to- day through the medium of general buying by the belief that the recent precipitous decline vas done to extremes and that the actual merits of the staple warranted a better level of value. Liverpool led the procession with an initial advance of 40 points. which was cut in half before the session of the English market terminated. Cables attributed the rise to enormous buying in a speculative way for continental. Egyptian and miscellaneous ac- count, and practically admitted the possibility of reaction when this urgent demand was satisfied The buying here of a general character also but most traders kept their gaze centered on the spot department. from whence the chief incentive for any material price changes vas expected but no important developments were observed in that quarter It appears that the extreme decline attracted some inquiry from various directions for spots but the ensuing improvement resulted in d. unfinished interest on the part of spinners. Thus it seems that spinners are not in pressing need of the staple at present and holders are not in need to force sales at a sacrifice. In such circumstances time alone will decide events but without 6 substantial spot demand to stim- ulate the situation, great patience will be re- Quired on he part of speculative longs, as re- newed liquidation in the absence of fair bust ness in actual cotton will exercise a detri- mental influence on prices

The market during the day mas appeared very nervous and sensitive but the undertone was good and while there may possibly be some further depression 1t Is generally believed that the market win gradually advance. Spots are reported throughout the South with unusual inqiry from spinners. many of whom had claimed that they were supplied for the season. Manchester cables say the cloth mar ket is depressed and inactive. Chinese are waiting for lowr prices. The effect of the. Sully failure is yet apparent. though events In America looked upon removing the cause of the disturbance and paving the way for more reasonable business conditions.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
GOOD ADVANCES SHOWN AT THE OPENING.
1EucL Better Gables Than Expected, Small Estimates for the Days Receipts and More Con-
 fidence is Apparent.

New York. March H.-The cotton mar ket opened firm at an advance of A to x points advance on the old and Of 20 points on the new crop months in response to much better cables than expected, small estimates for the days receipts and more confident feeling regarding the ef- fleets of the Sully failure, which vas re- ported not to be so severe as at first feared. while the announcement by MT.
 Sully that he hoped to pay dollar for dol lar and resume in the near future tended to lessen apprehensions that other houses would be unable to pull through. There was, however, a lot of cotton still to be eyened up evidently. Many houses hay clients to protct with additional margins .were unable or unwilling to take the heavy losses that would have devolved upon them had they sold on. the low prices of Friday. and at the advances this .1norning much of the cotton came out. May on the call sold up to 14.4o, while July soon after sold as high as 14.O and scovering and some demand said to be for the account of spot interests and spin ners both foreign and domestic. But the liquidation soon brought about a reaction from the high ppints mentioned and May broke through H cents tU .S6 while July Touched AIT. Following this there was a4rally but in a general way the market of the session and showed little actual Tendency either way. The close was steady at net unchanged prices to an ad- vance of 36 points with sales estimated at 5oo.oo0 bales. The trading seemed to be mainly of an evening up character. Commission houses generally are advising caution until the speculative atmosphere becomes clearer and their operations to- day appeared to be merely the closing out of existing commitments. There was some disposition among the room opera tors at first to buy in expectation of a Further raction, but later it appeared as if these operators were taking in their long lines owing possibly to rather full estimates for tomorrow's receipts at lead Ing points and a fear that any further advance would cause a renewal of active liquidation. Receipts for the day were moderate at both the ports and interior points and the port receipts were ex- ceeded slightly by the exports. Reports from the South told of a better spot de- tnand and the indifference of sellers to present prices. The local spot market was unchanged at 14.50 with sales of 2,777 bales to spinners.
 Estimated receipts at the ports today i,270 bales against s,695 last week and l4,- 39i last year. For the week 5000 bales, against 64,645 last week and S9,540 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 2,566 bales, against 4,546 last year and at Houston 2,761 bales against 2,33O last year.

 NEW YORK, March Acknowledgements have been so bewildering of late that hardly any one knows just how they stand or just what to do. About every one on the exchange has lost money All are M a position to lose more un- less the suspended firm pays dollar for dollar. We trust that this will be true that the ob- lgations will be settled and that the firrT will be able to resume business. The blow to the bull cause is of course severe and from now on cotton will go up If the crop is as small as Is bslievsd and will rot if 1t proves larger Speculation may not be as much after for some weeks There are no indication that cot ton 1t not worth i4 cents. It sold in Liver pool at I6h cents for spot cotton. This does not look as though cotton was drug the market. New York is now selling at a point that will prevent more cotton coming here The local stock may prove very attractiYe. While the turmoil resulting from the failure makes the course of prices irregular. the outlook should be one of promise. On so sharp an advance as this there is likely to be se- were setback and uncertainty for a time until the market gets It's second wind. Then we dation mentioned a week ago has taken place and carried values lower than they should have gone. There is nothing In the situation to lead any one to change on the value of cot ton. We would wait for a setback and would then buy rather than sell.
