By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans February S.-As Liverpool advices were better than expected our market opened Il to 12 points higher but 1t soon became apparently shortly after that there were still large lines of cotton to iiquidate, which were pressed for sale, causing ua break of 61 to 73 points, A good class of buying took all the cotton offered at the bottom. and prices there after quietly advanced 80 to 91 points from the lowest. About this time sharp break in French rentes occasioned un- easiness and another decline of 70 points from the top was established Fresh buying. however, soon came in superin- ducing an advance of @ to 63 points making the net gain of 13 points on March. 21 on May and 37 on July.
 Large lines of long cotton have been hanging over the market as menace, and the liquidation of these various in- terests today places the market in a 1eflthier condition technically than at any time this season. The class of buying

 Time.
RALLIED ABOUT MIDDAY

New York, February s.-whIle the seri- ous news from the far east had naturally 8 depressing influence. the relative firm ness at Liverpool caused somewhat firm CT opening in the cotton market today and first prices wer Ii to 20 points higher on the active months.
 Following this there was further ad- vance, carrying May up to 1435 and July to 14.4O. net gain of SS to fl points, but toward the end of the first half hour there was tremendous selling from outside sources and the market in less than ten minutes had broken nearly a full cent from the best of the morning Around Il o'clock the most sensational changes of the; season occurred. May which had sold down to 1S.5o jumped to 1880, and broke to 1314 while July, which had been depressed to 1S5O rallied to 1882. and then broke to 1S19. all inside of twenty minutes
 Around midday the market rallied. March had declined 12.41. May 13.02 and July to 1908, this being a net loss from the best prices of the morning of from 119 to 1.3S points At this level there was considerable covering and by 1 o'clock the market had recovered to about last Saturdays closing prices. It was reported that the advance had been part ly due to anxiety to make the 1 o'clock or margin prices as favorable as possible.
 Later there was another moderate down turn under liquidation by buyers on the early break. but in the late trading there was aggressive bull buying and the mar ket was finally steady at a net decline of to 35. points. The days sales were estimated at 100000 bales
