CBy Private Wire rom GlDert x Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS. March 29.-LiverpoOl's s action to-day indicated nothing more than disposition to go slow, or even up accounts preparatory to the Easter holidays. though late cables called attention to brightening prospects for business in Manchester. especial ly with the China trade and the opinion was expressed that spinners would be compelled to buy freely when the markets reopened. In the early trading hour there was flood of liquidation, influenced presumably by the ab- sence of inquiry for spots and prices were forced down sharply under this selling pres sure. but at this juncture a fair speculative demand attracted by moderate receipts and encouraging cables, and the early loss in value completely recovered, while large exports served to stimulate the tone. There were many causes working in favor of the market among them being frost in central Texas said to have necessitated replanting of thousands of of cotton. while the boil weevil was claimed to be doubling It's eff forts The lighter interior movement revived belief in impending exhaustion at uncounted towns and increasing exports brought visions of depleted port stocks. but. strange to say. with such favorable circumstances no inquiry of importance developed for spots and this fact offertT the main obstacle to buying of gen eraI character It Is evident that spnners are not disposed to be interested at advancing prices, considering the contention that the dry goods market offers Eo profitable basis. so events of a startling character are not likely to be observed this side of the holiday period.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
ADVANCES SCORED ON THE
 OPENING.
Liquidation is Heavy, However, and Prices Break-Later Shorts of the scalping Class Turn
 to Cover.

New York, March 29.-The cotton mar ket opened firm at an advance or 4efl2 points on covering promoted by rather firmer cables than expected so far as fu- ton in the English market was in light demand at a decline of IS English points. Still receipt promised to be light and for the firsts ten minutes or so the market ruled firm with one or two of the active months selling slightly over the opening figures. Liquidation, however, was heavy and New Orleans, showing a declining tendency, the market here soon weak ened under more aggressive offerings. mo- tably by brokers believed to represent leading Wall Street bear interest who appeared endeavoring to catch some stop orders on the long side. The effort was successful to a certain extent and prices broke to net loss of about 15 points with May selling around 14.50 and July 14.n. Demand at the decline seemed to be of. very good character representing large 'ners. aId around midday shorts of the scalping class turning to cover, prices worked up quite rapidly with May sell ing to 14.S4; and July to 15.16 This was followed by more liquidation and in the last hour the market ruled rather easier, declining about IS to l9 points from the top. The close was steady at net ad- vance of S@1s points. Sales were estl- mated at 50O.0JO bales Trading was again chiefly of a professional order, the publ c apparently not caring to enter the mar ket prior to the Easter holidays and a good part of professional operations seemed to be os an evening up character in anticipation of the market being clos ad over the end week. The day's figures re- garding the movement were very bullish Receipts at all points are running very light and estimates. of the weeks into sight are being reduced -t0 about 5000 bales, or about 55,000 bales behind last year's.A On the other hand, the other re . ports from the South concerning spot de-
 nand tell of little or no business with spinners and while private advices indi- cated larger export business cleararce reports of curtailment in spinning circles are becoming more general
 Receipts at the ports today BPS ba1es against 1872 last week and 31913 last year. For the week 65.GO0 bales, against 6, ,l60 last week and 1OS. .4SI last year, To. days receipts at New Orleans were 5O0S bales. against 20c92 last year and -at Houston 1.749 bales, against 3,709 last year.

 was about what might have been expected after an advance of two cents. The break in July to l4.7l meant 30 points in two days and with any strength or basis for present prices this should entitle the market to a re- action The advance that took place at mid day carried July up 30 points in short order. The market started from about Al cents. after the census report, and when July worked back to IA 70 prices were within 30 points of the figure before the report. If any one will take the trouble to look up the Decem- her market when the Government came out they will find that prices from about | | 60 to 2 75 and back to 90 before the upward movement resumed. This break entirely natural and we would not be surprised to see prices huctuate between l4b and t5h cents for some days There is no cause for the American holder to get nervous.

F0ve- PriV0tN ,eased Wire


 NEW YORK, March 29.-Cptton futures in the local cotton market started firm to-day, but during the day there was some selling, which served to reduce the confidence of hold ers,t and naturally there were periods of marked irregularity. The first prices were at an advance of l to l2 points. There ner- vousness among shorts and the latter covered extensive scale The English market news was much better than expected. and the foreign houes were buyers However on the better levels there was quite lot of lquda- tion, and in addition there was some bear pressure. The bears worked with the idea of being able to catch stop orders. The de- mand was largely for the account of spin ming interests. the latter being inclined to take advantage of the lower prices. Thus the theory that the demand for cotton would in crease on any marked recession in prices was confirmed. The public speculation during the day was rather small. and commission house rection, On the lower levels there was some improvement in the demand, but the general undertone of the market continued nervous and quite unsettled. The receipts at Houston and other interior points promised to run small during the balance of the week, and the ad- vices from many sections of the South indi- cated that the demand for spot cotton was not up to expectations. Under the circumstances the differences of opinion prevalent seems justified. The late market generally ner- vous and rather irregular with professionals mainly in control. The estimated port re- ceipts for the day were "a. 900, against 3i, 9o3 for the same day last year.
