These were the top hg- ures of the day Prices were sustained for a time by a prediction of a cold wave extend- ing far south as Nebraska After the first installment of buying orders had been filled, however. tte market began to sag gradually. The downward tendency was accelerated by the extreme weakness which developed in coarse grains. Later the demand improved and there was a cessation of profit taking. The market rallied under a fair commission house demand. The advance was met by heavy selling by ear Her buyers. the result being another set back. A rumor that the government crop report to be issued tomorrow might show decrease buying orders late in the day. Shorts covered freely. forcing prices up. The close was firm with May at 92h and July at ee% Clea- ances equaled 62. 600 bushels. Primary re- ceipts were 6o2. 200. against 34s. 300 year ago Minneapolis.

There very little support ex- cept from shorts Toward the end offerings became lighter and In consequence some re- covery was made. May opened K9% higher at 54a54h. Shortly afterward heavy liqui- dation set in. Prices started down and the bottom was touched at sos. May closed at 5lh July ranged between 49% and 5I&6 SIX and closed at 4sh.

 The feature in oats was heavy liquidation credited to the principal long. About the only support came from shorts who covered on the decline. The close was barely steady and near the lowest. May opened A higher at AZ, sold down to 4oa4oh and closed at 4oas. July ranged between 39A and 39%, closing at 351k Receipts IS5 cars.
 The break in corn brought out liberal profit taking in provisions. As result of the sell ing, which was mainly by small holders, the market ruled easier and slight losses were made throughout the list. The early tone was firm in sympathy with higher hogs. but the market lacked any marked support and prices yield ed The close was steady with May pork 10 lower at l3.77h: May lard 21A lower at 7.3o, and ribs 2h down at 7.l5 Estimated re- ceipts tomorrow: Wheat, 30; corn, 29; oats, 255: hogs. 27, ,ooo head

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
COTTON OPENED STRONG AT
 CONSIDERABLE ADVANCE.
Active Covering by Room Shorts and An Aggressive Bull Support Advance Both Old and
 New Crops.

NEW YORK, March 9-The cotton market opened strong at an advance of Ss448 points on the old crop and of "A points on the new crop positions on active covering by room shorts and aggressive bull support in connection with some out side buying attracted by. the sensational frmness in Liverpool. To conform with the local declines of yesterday the Liver pool market should have reported a de- cline of from 9 1-2 to 13 points. Instead of thss price there at the hour of the To- cal opening were something like 2d1l points higher and large sales of spot cot- ton were reported at an advance of 2 English points. This showing, as a bull tsh influence had the assistance of very light estimates for sthe days receipts, and while the initial of nearly 1-2c on the active positions naturally attracted a good volume of profit-taking by the smaller longs, continued bun support, buying here by New Orleans, and houses with Liverpool connection, prevented any material setback. Later the light esti- mates for tomorrows receipts at leading points and private advices telling of rather better spot demand helped the market. and while trading after the first active, the general undertone of the mar aket remained firm and reached the highest prices In the late trading. when March boucher 16.1o: May, 16.A: and July. 16 F, tions. The clos was steady at practically ;hhe top or a a net advance of 29G59 points. Sales were estimated. at 6OO,0oO bales. Exports for the day were very light but the bulls account for the small shipments te some extent by asserting that very little cotton is available for export for the time being, and reports of better spot demand received from private sources were colored to some ex- tent by the fact that more of the South ern spot markets officially reported had sales. though in most cases these trans actions were extremely small Port re- ceipts for the day were much heavier than expected early. owing to a clearance of 3.103 bales from Brunswick to Great Britain. Private cables attributed the advance in Liverpool to a better demand from spinners. some American buying and Hhe reduction in the crop estimate of Nell Brothers to 10.500, 900 bales. Receipts of cotton at all ports today were 12,2F1 bales against 15. 403 last week and B ,47S last year. For the week. 65.050 against 74.3S9 last week and 14l.613 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans were 6,6l4 bales, against 1o.o54 last year, and at Houston. 1,122 bales. against 5,sS1 last year.

aE Pierce C Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire from Gilbert & Clay)
 NEW ORLEANS. March 9.-Liverpoo Is evidently determined to do few turnN on it's own account and has proceeded in the up ward direction with proverbial zeal Daily spot transactions in the English market are of proportions that would be accounted good in the midst of the shipping season. and are cer- tainly huge for this period of the year. thus exciting suspicious that Lancashire spnners have outdone themselves in the effort to es- tablish universal short time for the purpose of depreciating prices. Better late than never, doubtless applies to this case with us ual appropriateness. Reports had 1t that MT. Neill reduced his estimate of crop from L. oOo 900 minimum to TO- 500, 900 bales. but 1t is hardly probable that foreigners could have been waiting for MT. Neil to inform them that the movement of the crop point ing toward a Vindication of moderate estI- mates
 At any rate the trade sees receipts dwnd- ling at alarming rate and unless the re- | quirements for consumption subsde unpre- 1 cedentedly there will be no unwieldy surplus to be carried over into the new season. Much l is said about the contemplated course of lead | ing bulls In American markets, but no guiding | features are to be derived from that source

 The buliish character of the statistical news which includes light hog receipts, higher prices at the yards and heavy shipments of meats and lard. gave the market an opening hold again. but professional pounding and the corn weakness had e depressing effect.

 COTTON.
 New York market closed strong at top prices being about 60 points above last night Fluctuations during the day have been mar and business small. mostly of pro fessionaI nature and tonight is said the Is largely long of cotton. The strength in Liverpool has been the encour- aging feature of the day. as private cables report the advance there is due 10 the strength of the spot market. the supply being inadequate. The sales of i2.ooo bales indi- cate q scramble for cotton and a general pan cky feeling and higher prices are looked for Spots In the South show an advance generally of l. while New York is up 40 points. The interests tn the market continue small but the advance to-day has been of such healthy nature that we have had more inquiry than usual and it Is a well recognized fact that strong market will induce more buying than strong statistics. Receipts continue small. On New York's close tonight Liverpool is due to come to 10 up Thursday. We expect to further advance and " cents Is talked ot before Saturday night.

Of far greater importance would be the knowl- edge that the big spot demand In Liverpool was to be positively reflected in Q substantial manner on this side. In such an event there would be no necessity for prophets to fore tell the results Prospects for planting of the new crop are claiming careful attention and will soon have a more serious influence on the situation.

The game of football played at the
fair grounds on Thanksgiving after
noon between the Anoka high school
boys and the home highs proved to be
hot game in some respects, if the
scores did go to the visitors, who went
away with twenty-three to their credit.
The Princeton boys did very we'll I'M
der the circumstances but were clearly
outclassed in the game. They were
handicapped to start with by having
to play out of order owing to some
substitutes. The walk-away for the
visitors was all in the first half, as in
the second the home team Fingered up
quite a bit and gave the visitors a
hard tussel. Several very hard
knocks were received by some OF the
players in both teams, but time out"
brought them to all right, with the
exception of one of the Anoka players
who when the game was nearly finished
received q bad sprainsto his leg that
crippled him for further playing.
