LOCAL MARKETS.

No change in the quotations for spot cotton were recorded yesterday, and the staple closed steady with good middllng marked 131ac.
 Stocks and bonds were all steady and unchanged. The market is very quiet and there are few changes in prices.
 Local staple groceries were all steady yesterday. A good business Is being done, but there are no special features
 Morris avenue is rather quiet with the exception of eggs, which are still at- tracking attention. The egg market Is be- ginning to quiet down now, however, and prices have fallen to IS and 19 cents There seems to be a surplus in stock just now, but it is predicted that the prices will again soar as soon as New York consumes the supply now on hand
 Fruits are rather uninteresting. No special shipments of any kind came in yesterday, and the market was not very plentfully supplied.
 Produce lines are all steady.
 Peanuts are very plentiful at 615c per pound for the fancy variety and 5s for No. 2.

cothran 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ware x Leland
 New York February 25-The stock mar ket today presented reverse of yester- day as concerned tendency Activity was not great The change was due to cables from Europe at the opening saying finan- cial distress was over for the present The professional element found buying orders under the market and as usual quick to reverse its position, covered shorts. The foreign situation has been made the dominant factor, and as warned in our previous letters, that although the early outlook was encouraging to the bears, there was plenty of company on the short side and that a drive at any time would not surprise us. The change from weakness to strength in the sudden manner shows the wisdom of taking mod crate returns while the market is so highly professional We think the rally is likely to extend. There Is a fairly good bank statement in sight and 1t should encourage further short covering. B. R. T. and A. c. F. are tipped for higher figures.

cothrar & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert x Cay.
 New orleans. February 25.-The cotton marke presents number of complex nroblems, viz The result of manipula- ton in New York. the probable outcome of the eastern war and the vexing ques- tions that may at any moment arise, the political situation in Europe, the prob- able action of spinners. the state of trade, etc. Amid the many current and counter currents it seems evident that in, the long run supply will hardly meet requirements if at all, and that lively times are there | fore ahead for operators and dealers in cotton from the raw material to the finished product. From this statement we are as a final result favorably dis posed toward prices.
 Liverpool seems inclined to cast aside the influences of the hour and to pay more attention to the movement, which is unquestionably light; however. It must also be admitted that the incentive for spinners to enter the market is also lack ing, and as a consequence there is a want of demand for spots and a probability of the visible supply figures appearing bearish and while this condition obtains lower markets may rule. At all events 1t is safe to surmise that any undue bulge will meet with resistance The May po- sition does not present the recent highly manipulated appearance and traders are more inclined to note legitimate features.

 Futures opened steady and prices were 1 to points higher. The Liverpool mar ket was better than expected and New York opened from to 12 points up on the new months. With this bullish condi- ton 1t looked as if a strong advance would set in, but heavy selling orders struck the market, evidently coming from the short side for the most part and prices receded This happened several times during the session. Good advances were established on the hammering and resistance of each side, and this gave the market steady tone in spite of the rather violent fluctuations. In the trad ing May first lost Il points from the close of yesterday at 1888, advanced to 1422 fell off to 1897, advanced again to 14.16 closed quiet but steady.

Caldwell 6 Ward :, Stock Letter.

By Miller & Co.,
 New York, February 25.-Although the volume of business was not up to yester- days, the market enjoyed a general rally in prices that was fairly well distributed. The opening was higher in response to steadier consols in foreign bourses. Re- lief being expressed particularly over completion of the fortnightly settlement in London without disturbing develop ments. Trading failed to disclose any mo- table outside interest, increase and the covering of shorts flor local and foreign account was largely responsible for the improvement in prices. The market be- came less active after midday but held strong and the prominent issues scored gains of l to 1%. Close observers reported the maintenance of the full rally In the general list and the usual differences re- garding the advance in that stock were made. The market was not effected by making of high records in the local wheat market St Paul wa helped by the decla- ration of regular dividend and the buying was said to be chiefly for western &C., count The animation in stocks did not extend to the railway bond market which was quiet.

caId.eII 6 Wards Grain Letter.

Chicago. February 25.--Liverpool cables on wheat were higher in sympathy with our market of yesterday notwithstanding the cold weather favorable for movement of grain. Movement was light throughout the west Terre Haute reports sale of No. 2 red at $1 10 on track there
 Price Current reports recent weather conditions unfavorabfe for wheat crop, but nothing positive developed. Supplies east of the Mississippi river light. It looked very much today as though some big holders were swapping off May for July and we expect to see July wheat sell as high as May.
 Corn-Weather reports indicate much lighter movement of corn and with the liklihood of light receipts for this week. There was a big commission house trade in corn all day. We believe the purchase of May corn and selling of July at pres ent prices would make a good straddle.
 Oats-Early in the session shorts ad- vanced the market sharply and prices later on broke about 1c, on profit-taking. They should do better.
 Provisions-Lighter receipts of hogs than expected; the live stock was up 5
