THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Feb 29.-The cotton market
opened strong at an advance Of % to IS points
with trading active and attended by consider
able excitement. The initial gain was rather
more than due on the cable and seemed TO be
of a general character than that recently
noted. In fact, the buying could be traced to no
special source.
Wire houses and commission houses generally
seemed TO have good supply OF buying orders
leading to a belief that the demand was in re-
Spouse to strong statistical situation as re-
Elected by the weekend visible supply state
ment which undoubtedly received a wide cir
culation Sunday.
While there was heavy realizing from the
start, this simply rendered the market rather
irregular the general undertone was very
firm. Receipts for the day were rather heavier
tinued light movement, and the prospect of a
cotton famine later in the season seemed to re-
strict selling even for profits.
At any rate the advance carried March to
1SOlc and May and July TO 15.41c. These prices
positions named, and followed by rather
lighter demand and a reaction under realizing
After this there was a period Of irregularity.
There seemed little pressure against the market
exhausted and huctua tons ruled irregular until
Just before the close. when Sully, lust returned

greSSiVely, soon forced March 1906. Nav

The close steady at practically the best
estmated at 100000 baies TRe late sa sdvsnc
was aided by the frmness OF the Southern spot
advances in futures and a prominent Phiiadei-
phia spot interest was reported to be a heavy
buyer well as the bull leader.
Experts running very light and while spot
markets reflected the bullishness of sentiment
among holders very firm the demand for
actual cotton does not appear to be particularly
satisfactory. and interior holders said. in
some instances: TO be hedging their supplies in
the future market.

The opening movement was inclined downwards
to-day. Paris was reported to be in condition
of nervous apprehension over the preliminares

In this market the Fries were slightly heavier
than the average. which accounted for by
the extremely unfavorable showing of net earn

The bucket shop is the product OF the specu-

the din inutive character OF the operations there
conducted. Tho definition that a bucket shop'
is the place where wasers are made on fiuctua-
lions of the market, stated in a Federal Cour,
opinion. may be correct
But a place should not necessarily stamp its
character upon particular transaction when
II is shown the broker is ready to deliver the
stock purchased. The allegation that the
broker conducted bucket shop has no sub
stantial warrant and may be characterized as
extravagant."
