 NEW ORLEANS. March z6.-Speculative enthusiasm in the cotton markets evaporated somewhat to-day and a desire to liouidate re- cent purchases became prevalent so that the rising tendency of prices was checked and ,.. nsfcuon or some consequence followed. The origin or this change of temper was located tn tne spot department. where Inquiry almost dimlnished to the quantity represented by a ness or spinners to be attracted at advanced prices. According to various advices n dull ness Tn the dry goods market discouraEes spin ners From replenishing stocks at the prevail ing level of value. which. compared with the quotations for manufactured goods is claimed to be losing transaction. Reference was made to the necessity of certain American mliIs resorttng to short time owing to unprolit- able business prospects Liverpool made an attempt to climb further but slipped back over half, the distance.
 The weekly report from Manchester was a mixed affair, but left room for considerable improvement Cables stated that the advance was Interrupted by heavy selling for account Of the continent and 1t is probable that liqui- oAuon was also part of the program abroad. There is little doubt that the market IS dependent to a greater extent than ever on the nature. of demand for spot cotton and tnis VIII be the guiding feature for the near future at least
 That speculation has been severely intimi- dated is clearly shown in the tendency toward wider price changes between each transaction and without active speculative support the market must have a substantial spot demand to obtain prices around this level and without which 1t Is reasonable to expect an easier tone

This level at tracted considerable demand from spot interests and the room also turned for covering. bidding prices up about 50 points from the bottom, with May selling around H.& and July 15.12. The partial recovery attracted still heavier liquidation with New Orleans bulls operating in a manner leading to the belief that these interests were trying to manipulate better buying basis. There was further demand from spot people, but in a general way the market in the afternoon was weake e reaching about the lowest level of the day with May selling down to 1864 the prev. 0tis low point, while July touched 14S4. The close was within a point or two of the bottom, or a net loss of 24d55 points. Estimates for tomorrow's receipts at lead ing points were light on the average m spite of the predictions for a larger movement this week and advices from the South indicated great firmness among holders with some wires asserting that factors were looking for IS cents. The lower Liverpool cables were attributed by private advices to liquidation in the ab- Bepce of demand for spot cotton from splnners. while the reports of a proposed extension of short time at Manchester also had an influence. Port receipts for the day were not half of last year's but exports also were light.

 NEW YORK, March 20.-Cotton futures in the local market to-day opened steady in tone with first prices points higher to IS points lower. There was some irregularity, which subsequently, had the effect of creating uneasi- ness in outside circles. Hence the argument of certain professionals that the market is in such shape now that adjustment will have to take place in consequence of the absence of a bull leader and the mixed conditions which at hand. There was quite a lot of liquidation during the day. while cables were disappointing There were also reports of ex- tensive curtailment fin manufacturing circles. The trade as a whole was moderately active, and on the lowere levels there was very fair demand from important sources. There lack of aggressive bull support however. and Q number of the larger shorts were stead fastly averse to covering their contracts. More or less irregularity was noted throughout the day, but at times there was quite a good deal of buying. and the appearances led many to believe that Improvement in the general market impending. The re- ceipts for to-day were moderate prom inent Wall Street wire house a heavy seller of July cotton at times and naturally this business served to discourage holders in many instances. On the close there was a conflicting feeling and the quotations reflect ed some irregularity. The estimated port receipts for the day were ,oOV against 20,- 337 for the same day last year.

 NEW ORLEANS. March 29.-The market broke about as rapidly. to-day as It advanced IA 5S before the end of the first half hour this morning. The market lost forty points while you watched it. This was the way 1t went up Over IS cents there does not seem to be the right basis to the market Every thing is strong enough as far as figures go. but and here is the all-important thing, spin ners do not seem anxious to get the cotton. They are not willing to pay over Al cents. We not saying what they may do to-mor- row or next day. We simply say there is not the demand for cotton at IS cents to keep the future market safe. For this reason we can not feel safe in advising buying on such ad- vances we have had. gain of two cents in few days is a good advance. We should have a setback But from the outlook and from the knowledge of the past 1t would seem though there would be barely much of a break below l4is cents this time. There are too many ready to take cotton at these figures. May sold at IA: GA this morning, pretty near a safe level If July were down there we would be inclined to say buy. On any good breaks below IS cents now, there should be no great danger In buying moderate ly. The crop will begin to look very small before the first of May or June or we will lose our guess.

NEW ORLEANS. March 2e.-Spot cotton quiet: sales, 75o bales including 300 to rive and 100 f. O. b.. delivered on stntracts, 200. Quotations reduced t. Futures opened steady with prices unchanged to points lower than Saturdays closing. While Liverpool was up to reasonable expectations. 1t was dlsap- pointing to the trade as @ whole New York showed some weakness at the opening and the local market at its opening found heavy load of selling orde g.. From the direction from which they came the selling orders appeared to be for short account There was ques- tion that the New Orleans market was out of parity with both the New York and Liverpool ma kets. and this condition doubtless assist ed largely in the break that followed the open ing. Prices went down full quaEteN of cent. Stop orders were reached on the long side and prices went down again until at the lowest they were half cent lower than the highest level of the morning In the trading May opened at 8 33, sold down to I4 30, ad- vanced to $40 and finally declined to 4.s2.

NEW YORK. March 2s.--After the advance of 25 points since the Government report on Friday. the trade seems disposed to take profits and the shorts. encouraged by the poor cables during the morning, threw out line of shorts so that the market has continued easy during the day. with slight rallies but closed around the lowest prices. This decline Is due to heavy liquidation and indisposition on the part of the bulls to sustain the market in the face of approaching holidays the latter part of the week. This fact may lead to tenn Porary lower market, but with spot cotton 1t is hard to believe In much of a decline Curtailment Is also freely talked of by North ern spinners and Manchester mills On New Yorks close tonight Liverpool Is due to come to points down tomorrow
