MARKET
 OPENS AT DECLINE Prices Did Not Rally Until
 About Midday
NEW ORLEANS DID LITTLE
Business Was Mostly for Professional Account and Was of Scalpng character-Rumor Caused
 the Slight Rally.

New York Arpil 11-The cotton market opened steady at a decline under liquid ation following rather disappointing ca bles and generally favorable early wealth CT reports. For a few minutes room covering steadied the market around the opening prices, but there was no de- mand of consequence and with cables continuing easy prices soon dropped down another few points to be rallied, how ever, before midday, and reached nearly the closing prices of last Saturday on reports of damage to early planted cot ton over Saturday night and Sunday morning.
 These reports were received from pri- vate southern resources from several different sections but the trade were not disposed to credit anything and soon included a renewal of room pressure and further selling for long account. The balance of the session was more or less irregular, but in general the marked showed an easier undertone and reached the lowest level in late trading when May sold at 1451 and July at 1479, The close was steady but at practically the lowest. net decline of 2a2O points, Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
 New Orleans did little or nothing in the local market and beyond the moderate sell ling by commission houses noted in the early trading the business seemed to be mostly for professional account and in scalping character. There was some talk that a Wall street interest was cov- ering quietly toward the close leading to the slightly steadier tone but in gen. eral way the market showed little feat ure Receipts continue very light with the into sight estimated at about 75,000 bales against 113,000 bales last year.
 Estimated receipts at the ports today were 3221 bales against 94f6 last week, and 12017 last year. For the week 40,000 against 41,251 last week and 632 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 107S bales against 519S last year and at Houston HAS against 3267 last year.

New York Cotton Futures.
New orIeano Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 11.-Spot cotton quiet buyers and sellers apart factors refusing to make concessions; sales, 2350, including 1150 to arrive Quotations un- changed.
 Futures opened steady with prices to IS points lower, following the course of Liverpool and New York. Longs gave the market but little support and bears sold cautiously only using their ham mers when it became necessary to keep prices down. In the northwest section of the cotton belt the young cotton in many fields has been nipped by frost, and much replanting will have to be done. In the trading May opened 3 points below Saturdays closing at 14.89, de- clined to 14.63 and finally advanced to 14.76.
 The market closed quiet with net losses of 12 to 22 points.

Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Rail- road Coupanv--"The New WavU


 The undeveloped resources along the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail- road are perhaps superior to those of any other railroad In the south; the timber is practically inexhaustible, consisting of the highest grades of long yellow leaf pine, short leaf pine and variety of hardwoods. The line also traverses one of the finest farming and agricultural sec tions to be found In the south. Cores pondence is solicited from those contem plating the location of any kind of man. ufacturing enterprise or who may be prospecting for superior field for the purpose of tilling the soil In addition to the merits of this section for the products of the soil which are staple, we would call especial attention to the peculiar ad- vantages which obtain in favor of fruit and vegetable raising. splendid transpor- tation facilities to the best markets at reasonable cost.
