 New Orleans, March 2.-Notwithstand- ing early Liverpool advices were barelyup to expectations. Our market opened 15 to F points higher, but shortly after declined points on realizing The later firmness in Liverpool, the continuance of light re- ceipts, the improvement in English con- sols and French rentes and the good de- mand for spots at an advance of one quarter of a cent subsequently brought in a buying wave, occasioning an advance of 32 to 33 points from the bottom. Near the close room traders taking profits, superin- duced a slight recession, making the net gain A to 47 points on the day.
 The port receipts for the five days ag- gregate 47,000 against 10S, coo last year, and the semi weekly receipts at the thir- teen leading interior towns were g, 2,0OO against 1000 last year. The sales of spots locally were 1850 bales and Liverpool re- ported 10000 showing that exporters and spinners were free buyers of the raw ar ticle. Liverpool cables say that Manches- ter is active and doing a large business. Spinners are therefore expected to be free takers of spots for the immediate present. as India and China are buying cloths. The general opinion there is that values will seek a higher level. The fact that Liv- erpool represents the European spinning interest and is bullish, naturally stimulat- ed the optimistic sentiment prevalent in America, which wes accentuated by the strength of spots and pesimistic advices from the interior about the next crop outlook. It is claimed there Is no season in the ground in Texas and that prepara- tions generally are backward throughout the south, owing to lack of moisture in the soil Barring international complications
 It looks as if prices will be maintained or han oa lofo ac int decreasing scale, and demand for spots contfpra

 New Orleans, March 2.-sThe chief item in cotton records from Liverpool today consisted of transactions on the spot, amounting to ten thousand bales at un- changed quotations, which indicated willingness or desire, amongst traders to secure what actual stuff Is available on any favorable opportunity. Private cables explained that spinners were dis playing some anxiety about subsequent necessary supplies. and were giving att tention to forward deliveries.
 In the trading here there was distinct tendency towards conservatism though prices advanced steadily under the h. fiuence of favorable foreign advices, and the development of a better inquiry for spots, while the continued smallness of the movement provided an additional stimulus. There was no pronounced op- position to the improving course and the tone was characterized by firmness throughout the session. With indications pointing to a partial confirmation of small crop ideas the market is not likely to record a continuance of such large spot deals as observed in Liverpool with out resuming restless disposition yet there are so many artificial features serv- iceable for adverse purposes such as per- tain to the eastern war and possible European political complications, etc, that the situation continues to require the exercise of great caution.
