COTTON FUTURES.

New York. March 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance Of
6Gl2 points on covering, and d little
fresh demand in sympathy with rather
better cables than expected, and which
may have been attracted in some meas
uTe by the fair spot sales reported
from the Southern markets late yes
terday. There was, however. heavy
realizing al first and soon after the
call the market eased of slightly, but
as il declined uncovered more buying
orders particularly from New Orleans.
These quickly rallied prices and there
was a period of strength that carried
the active months UP to the highest
level they have occupied since the big
break. and TO within about 30 points
Of the highest level for the season. At
this time. May and July were both
selling AT IS SIC. and the more active
positions showed net gains of l4qlS
points.
The weekly in sight figures, however.
proved rather larger than expected
recently. and with the Galveston esti-
mate pointing toward heavier receipts
tomorrow. while some spot dealers
still assert that spot demand is very
light, IL seemed that the smaller longs
were willing TO take profits at this
figure.
The local Dull leader too. din not
appear Inclined to support the market
and prices gradually eased Of attract
ing freer offerings as they worke
downward. and shortly after midday
May had declined to Is s4c. and July
TO Is. 42c. or net points lower. This
WAS followed by another upturn on
support by local bull leaders, and re-
newsl of Southern buying. out toward
the close the recovery was lost. and
the market was finally at nearly the
lowest of the session or at a net de-
cline Of points to an advance of l
point.
Sales were estimated al 500 600 bales.
Trading during almost the entire ses-
sion except perhaps "a short time at
the opening. was almost entirely Of a
professional character. and fluctuations
were largely the result of the varying
operati tions of the room. who we're ap-
parently trying to scalp one point
movements.
Port receipts for the day were very
light, and the large estimate for to-
morrow at Galveston was explained by
the bulls as at the expense of Houston
stocks, and as rejecting moreover ap-
preaching exports. However, this may
be exports for the day were light. and
reports from the dry goods district
beyond foreca sting further advances in
the prices OF manufactured cotton,
show no indication of an improvement
while many mills are talking cur
tailInent of spindleag ge.

APATHY IN SPIRITS
MARKET AGAIN ASSUMES A TONE
OF "NOTHING DOING"
RoSINS ARE ALSO DULL.
But FACTORS. AS A RULE, Salts
FLED WITH CONDITIONS.

But Little Activity Expected in Tur-
pentine Market, Owing to Fact
That the New Crop Is So Near at
Hand. and Turpentine Usually
Takes n Decline at First HarDin-
Ger-Receipts of Both Spirits and
ROsfns Continue Extremely Light.
Futures Are in Steady Demand,
and SIC Is Freely Bid.
The naval stores market has been
fairly firm, during the past week; and
both spirits and rosins have shown an
advance.
But little activity is expected in the
turpentine market. owing to the fact
that the new crop is so near at hand.
The approach of the first spirits is al
ways dreaded by factors, as it has a
tendency to cause a decline in the
market.
The receipts have been very light,
and there is very little turpentine for
sale on the local market.
1t would be safe to say that 200 casks
would approximate all of the salable
spirits now III Savannah.
For the first time in two weeks
nothing doing was marked up, yes
terday.
This condition was brought about on
account of the fact that no turpentine
was sold either Thursday or the day
following.
What spirits there is on the market
is being held for higher than so cents.
Futures have advanced during the
week, and are now being firmly held
for 52 cents.
The receipts of spirits amounted to
1876 casks. and the exports 322 casks.
The price in New York is 64 cents.
Rosins.-The entire list of rosins are
regarded as firm, and in fact there is
strong undertone to the market. The
receipts continue extremely light; only
7S5 barrels being reported yesterday.
The sales were 135 barrels, and the eX-
ports 743 barrels.

Cotton has played a game of sec
saw during the week just past, but as
a rule the saw has been turned up
ward.
The receipts. which have been ex-
tremely light, have given bullish as
pect to things and knowing ones pre-
dict that the market is bound to go
higher.
The New York bull leader has made
his appearance several times in the
ring, and his approach has been the
signal for buying. The market has
sen several remarkable spurts. and at
one time 1S-cent cotton was freely
predicted.
The census bureau has announced
that it will issue it's report some time
toward the latter part of March and
this is awaited with much interest.
The spot market has, as a rule, been
quiet and apathy has reigned in the
f. O. b. ring owing to the unwillingness
of exporters 10 pay present prices.
The interior. as a rule, is holding
firmly to its cotton and brokers have
expressed considerable difficulty IN
bringing producers and exporters to-
gether.
Yesterdays market opened steady
and futures closed both in New York,
and New Orleans about points up.
New Orleans reports that it is not
believed that 100 bales Of spot cotton
can be purchased on that market at
less than ls4c.
The sales OF local spots amounted to
544 bales.
The (. 0. b. market was steady on a
basis Of good middling at 1sA 1910.
