ANOTHER SCARE
 OF MARCH SHORTS Gain of 22 Points Made in
 That Month
BULL SUPPORT IS STRONG
Undertone Continued Nervous and Shorts Were Evidently Unsettled. Trading Was Active, Though
 Largely Professional.

New York, February 1.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of s all points. in response to higher cables At first certain local bears seemed to be trying to break the market but there was continued bull support and shortly after the call another scare of March shorts sent that position up to z76 or net gain of % points. while other months range from 12 to 1S points. Offerings for long account increased on the advance. and prices reacted point or two, but the un- dertone continued nervous and shorts were evidently unsettled. Trading was ac- tive though largely professional
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today 20 ,993 bales. against 10S9l last week, and 11246 last year. For the wee4- ,estimated) 95OOO bales, against 72,565 last week. and 64S71 last year

 Developments during the week have been favorable to the market, and are reflected in a level of values that are higher than at any time since publishing of the government crop estimate early last December, May contracts having advanced to 7.65 today, which, when com pared with one week ago, represents an advance of 45 points. The unusual severe weather experienced this month, the worst in six years, and almost as bad as we have ever had for thirty year, is probably more responsible for the im- provement than anything else When cot ton declined to 61&c some few weeks ago farmers refused most emphatically to sell their cotton on the basis of 6c in the interior. Consequently there was a marked falling off in receipts. and as ex- porters were obliged to continue buying, stocks at the ports gradually shrunlS un- til they were reduced to the small hold ings of this time one year ago, New Or leans being the greatest looser, the pres ent warehouse supply being 1l2000 less than last year-247, GOO against $y,000. De- velopments, therefore have been more of a matter of circumstances than otherwise. Nevertheless the market worked up of it's own accord.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, February 1S-Spot cotton in urgent demand, but buyers and sell lers are apart in regard to their views concerning prices. Early in the day some factors were defianding A above yester- days board figures This caused a num- Der of buyers to withdraw from the mar ket, and purchase futures. Sales 215O bales, including 500 to arrive. Quotations advanced A. Futures opened steady at an advance of II to 12 points on good Liver pool conditions, and strong spot demand, and soon after the first call there was a great scramble among shorts to cover, causing them to fall over each other around the ring. The covering continued to the close. There were more buying orders at southern centers than has been seen for months on a Saturday, and prices steadily advanced throughout the short session, until they were almost S1.50 a bale higher than yesterdays closing. At no time during the session was there any pressure to sell. Everyone wanted to buy. A great part of the strength ap- parently lay in the March option. which Is threatened with a squeeze by the bulls. The market closed very firm with net gains of "A to 27 points, the most distant positions showing the least improvement.

exception which was of notable effect in keeping up the tone of the whole list. The driving in of a short interest was an influence on the price, and was fac tor in the failure of the stock exchange house. But rumors of the benefits to ac- crue to the company after the distribution of Northern Securities assets, continued to play potent part. The week opened with the news of the reduction of the of- ficial rate of discount by the Imperial Bank of Germany, and this was accepted as an index of the relaxing tendency of money markets at all the important for eign centers.
