New York, March 1.-THE local in the
Liverpool market is believed ~ - i6-sss,
doubtless influenced by the encouraging
news from Manchester, where cloths and
yarns are strong and a continuance of an
excited demand prevails. Values of raw
material, however, are closely adjusted to
those set in the cis-Atlantic markets.
Selling by importers caused slight de-
preston early, but at close options were
only one point lower than yesterday
Spots on sales of 10000 bales lost 3
points.
Our opening was rather dull with prices
practically unchanged, but as the day
passed a fair improvement was observed.
About the only inducement to buy was
the known active inquiry about spots,
although there were also rumors Of adj
ditional Buying by the bull clique In N-.'
York, but IL true, 1t was of tentative
character and far from aggressive. Anne
rican mills are now receiving Their full
quota of the worlds demand for goods,
recent advices from Fall River denote a
most satisfactory business

New York. March HIN the dry
goods market the firmness Of sellers is
increasing on many lines OF goods and
the scarcity of spots is proving one of
the principal features of the market, and
yet the unwilllngness of buyers to ex-
tend their field of operations is one
of the most peculiar features of the
situation. The attitude is taken In spite
of increased business reported from va
rious centers.

SIN ,.Ien 9. Co.'S Market Letter.

The cotton market was somewhat
stronger today than yesterday. Liverpool
was about as expected, 3 to points
lower Spots were 4 points down with
sales of 10000 bales. The local market
opened about Unchanged and after SELL
ing down to 3 points became stcadier
and rallied about IL points. The port re-
ceipts were estimated at 10000 bales
against 5000 last year.
The spot market was very steady. There
seems to be a good demand for spot cot
ton throughout the south and this above
parity with either New York or Liver
pool. This has created considerable alarm
among the shorts and they continue to
cover at the advance.
1t is now conceded that the consumption
is the largest on record and with every
indication that it will continue for many
months Even a moderate advance from
the present prices could not check this
consumption, as the demand Is on a
basis for yarns and good way above
the. present price Of cotton.
Many mills. especially in Manchester
are sold so far ahead that they have
bought forward deliveries for cotton. and
are now refusing further orders. through
inability to deliver the goods before De-
cember.
