he buying of May cotton was the feature of the market today At times May was taken in large blocks. so that July.
 Both options sold over TAO as com pared with 720 yesterday. For some reason or other. there was an enormous demand for May considering the extent of the trade. This may be a repititon Of the March affair, or it may mean that the short interests Is so extensive that the attempt to cover and transfer the interest to July has caused the advance. Buying was of the best possible charac- ter, and the selling was scattered.
 Some of the cotton bought here was sold in Liverpool, and the result was that the markets moved together. Reports from the south show no change on the part of the holders. Cotton doesn't come out on the break. There Is but one thing to bring out-higher prices. > If traders will simply keep this fact in mind and buy on breaks there will be money in the markets for months to come.
 The advance amounted to 25 points this morning.
 On a sharp rise tomorrow, cotton should be sold, and then bought back on the next break. This operation can be repeated often as desired Cotton in New York at "A cents is cheap.

STEADIER TONE IN COTTON MARKET. Trading Was Quiet During
 the Day CLOSE DOWN FROM BEST Advances Were on the Near Months. A Bear Predicts That May Will
 Sell Far Above
 July.

New York. March 1.-The cotton mar ket continued quiet. but showed a gem eraIly steadier tone, the main feature being the covering of demand on the May option, which at times during the trading showed a premium of about points over July, thus revising the recent order of affairs.
 The opening was steady at an advance of Sd5 points on covering, and buying by spot houses, part of which may have been promoted by the steadiness of Liv- erpool which reported an advance at the hour of the local opening of about 6d7 points, when due to come to points higher. There was qute a furry of cov- ering at the start, and prices shortly af- ter the call sold about to points net higher The estimates for tomorrow's re- ceipts were large, however New Orleans sent selling orders despite of southern advices claiming continued firmness among interior holders. and the market during the middle of the morning sagged off to nearly the closing prices of the previous day. There was a persistent de- mand from spot houses that seemed to be mainly for the main option, and this eventually rallied the market with ru- mors circulating as to the possibility of a squeeze of May shorts, which was based apparently on the theory that ex- porters and spot people generally had had their commitments extended to that month. and were to be called upon to deliver an immense amount of cotton, which under present conditions, they could hardly obtain in the south. Bear sentiment was unsettled by the report that the lower Wall street bear leader had advised covering by May shorts. pre- dieting that that month would sell far above July. At any rate, the market in the afternoon was about IA points higher on May, with later positions to ' points higher.
 The close was a little down from the best under realizing with prices un- changed to 14 points higher, the advances being on near months. Sales of futures estimated at 200.000 bales.
 Receipts of cotton today 20,449 bales, against 19679 last week, and 154B last year. For the week. estimated, 12O,OOO, against 112.542 last week, and 743,3S9 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans 3247 against 5959 last year, and at Hous- ton il ,2ss against 2S1S last year.

smoIIen 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

The cotton market showed a little more strength today. Liverpool cables were higher than expected futures being 5 points up, while spots were unchanged with sales of 10000 bales.
 The opening of the New York market was to 4 points higher, May selling at 734 rallying to TAP, after which 1t de- clned points. The port movement was heavy as compared with last season, being 23000 bales against 15,OO0. Houstons receipts tomorrow will be $500 bales, as against 3O07 last year.
 The weather conditions are very favor able throughout the entire belt. thus caus- ing the heavy movement. There has been considerable selling of cotton by farmers who are becoming tired holding the staple without any prospects of an advance. While the market may sell lower, we are of the belief that there is more money to be made on the long side and advise the purchase of October cotton on all soft spots.
 The wheat market opened unchanged at LA for May, declined to 1.12k and near the close rallied to 1.14A. The cov- ering of the short interest. below 113. was very noticeable and there was also good buying by the big bull crowd.
 May corn was unchanged at the opening, selling at 47h, sold off to 47M and, in sympathy with wheat, rallied to 477a. May oats after selling at aoH rallied to 31h.

BEARS NOT AGGRESSIVE

New York, March 1.-The stock market was relieved today from urgent pressure to realize. such as characterized it yes terday, and showed an evidence of re- vived strength. Attempts to lift prices, however, were constantly frustrated by an outpouring of selling orders at the high levels which turned the course of prices downwards number of times dur ing the day after considerable advances had been effected. There was a decided falling off also in the~buying demand at the higher level, indicating that conf dence was not fully re-established in the stability of the market
 There was a party in the speculation holding a pronounced view in favor of a further recaction in prices as being jus tified by the extent of the previous ad- vance, yand also by the lack of confirma- tion of the many rumors upon which 1t had been accomplished. But the bear party showed no signs of the aggressive disposition manifested in the fierce raids upon prices in yesterdays trading. On account of this moderation in the tactics of the bears, and the hesitation Of the opposing party in following the advance with buying orders, the trading was much quieter than for several days past, and there was a decided shrinkage in the volume of the days dealings
 The demand from the shorts to cover was a considerable factor in rallying prices when the resisting power of the market was developed. New York Cen tral was eonspicuously affected by this factor. The recovery was stimulated by several new points of strength. The most conspicuous of these was the southern group of railroads stocks, which rose quite easily without any news an- nouncement in explanation. The move ment in them was commonly attributed to one of the strong speculative parties which has been prominent in that group of stocks on previous occasions. There was more substantial basis for the buy ing of the Eries found in the excellent showing of net earnings contained in the January report Other anthracite carriers reporting for January bore out the evi- denee offered by the Erie and Reading reports of the strong condition in the an thraeite trade. Amalgamated copper was a figure of strength in spite of the re- duced exports of copper for February Other reports bearing on the movement were vague. So were the assertions of improved trade conditions upon which sugar was advanced. The movement in the New York public utilities was sup posed to be due to the views of opera tors on the outlook for legislation affect ing these corporations
