c. F. FIERCE s CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

New Orleans, March. 3--Some pressure to sell spot cotton and the absence of specu- lative feeling were Eiven as the causes of early decline in Liverpool prices. How ever. towards the close an improvement was observed. making the net loss on op- tions for the day only point. The future course of the market was regarded as de- pendent on the policy pursued by the South. Cloths and yarns were strong in Manchester
 This was possibly the most quiet and un- Interesting day our exchange has experi- enced in several years. Marrow fluctuations resulted from the limited amount of trading. such interest as was displayed centered chiefly in crop movement figures and esti- mates of tomorrows receipts for New Or leans. Galveston and Houston. neither of which extended consolation to those hope ful of higher prices Receipts at the Texas points indicate quite clearly that the interior of that State. until recently conspicuous for It's tenacity, is now equally prominent in the reverse position The majority of points east of the river show an increasing disposition of merchants and farmers to sell and the weekly movement shows an in- crease over last week of about s5.0o0 bales.
 The spot demand Is less active aa ex- porters and mills. cognizant of the condi- tions. are manifesting less eagerness to buy. These are the factors having the most d. rect bearing on the market for the imme- diate future. and. while there are others of weight. we are inclined to the belief that the merit will lie with those mentioned. namely. the bringing on the market of . conxested supply and lessening demand.

ROOT WORKING ON TARIFF
Secretary of state Gives Earnest
Attention to German
Proposal.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-secretary Root
is giving earnest attention to the tariff
relations between Germany and the United
States. The secretary hopes to have some
concrete proposition to submit TO congress
during the approaching session, but it is
evident that it cannot be presented before
the next calendar year. as number OF
conferences will be necessary before the
executive branch and individual legislators
as a preliminary to the execution of Secre-
tary Roots plan to submit only such a
treaty or proposal as is reasonably certain
to secure the approval of at least a major
ity In congress or perhaps a two-thirds
vote In the senate.
It is probable that an attempt will be
made Immediately TO reach a modus vvendi
or provisional arrangement which shall pre-
vent IAN open rupture or tariff war between
the two nations pending the conclusion OF
negotiations for a new treaty.
