BEARS SELL FREELY.
Bulls, However, Seem Willing
to Take All Cotton Offered.

V \ y
NDw ORLEANS. LA, Feb 2s.-Thc
cotton market had spectacular effect
to-day, although there was nothing artt-
ticial about --the trade. ts
It opened steady and from twenty-five
to jthirty-twoi pointsaup' ION the near
months. Some OF the pesslmism that hns
characterized the market. lately was still
seen, and bears sold freely This brought
forth heavy support from the bulls, and
prices were forced up point BY point
until they were one-half a cent higher
than yesterdays close. At no time were
prices anywhere near the closing prices
OF yesterday. at the close they showed a
net gain for the day Of sixty to sixty
three points in March, May and July.
The bulls boosted March at every ops
portunity, and proved concusively that.
they we're anxious to take on heavy loads
Of spot cotton. 5@
Although the advances Of the day were
wide, the close was quiet and steady,
and the rise in prices was regarded az q;
wholly, legitimate, When the statistical
position, \ and !, the: growing, demand from.
spinnens werc taken, into lconsiderati ion.
