COTTON AiARKETs.

NEW YORK Feb. 15.--The cotton market
was hardly SO active yesterday. and fluct-
uations were more irregular. Tho undertone
was fairly steady, however. and the market
closed net unchanged TO points higher. Sales
were estimated at 10000 bales. The opening
was steady at decline of elfJ points under
scattering liquidation by yesterdays buyers,
which was promoted by cables about ! point

had been formed OF local operators to hammer

There was no sign of aggressive selling, how
ever and prices soon rallied on renewal of
the buying noted yesterday. After showing a
net gain OF about points the market weakened
again under increased offerings by room trad

ting to the relative easiness of New Orleans
and reports OF a smaller spot inquiry than
was noted yesterday. The market eased on
under this pressure to a,net loss of sal points.

within 9 or 3 points OF the top II seems the
impression in local circles that powerful In
terests are buying on soft spots. and IT Is said
that spot houses have also been liberal buyers
on recent declines. Scalpng sentiment con-
tinues more or less bear!sh however, on the
absence of general demand and the fact that
receipts are running ahead of last years, al
though the movement so far for the season is
behind the figures of 10000.
Receipts at the ports to-day were $50 bales
against 1885 last week and i. 200 last year.

COOPER TOO CRITICAL
FOR ENGINEER CARTER
Pointed Out Inferior Work and
Ex-Captain Made Matters I'm
comfortable for Him
DIV AssocIated Press

SAVANNAH. GA, February 16.-A. 8.
Cooper, assistant engineer. who held a
like position under Captain Carter. was
on the stand throughout the day in the
Green Gaynor trial He was examined
by government counsel, after which the
defense began its cross-examination.
Mr.. Cooper's testimony was relative
to the inferiority of the material used
by the defendant contractors.
The most interesting part of his tes-
timony related to a report which he made
to Captain Carter in which he reconl-
mended that the work on the Tybee
Breakwater be suspended unless rock
could be placed on the mats by the con-
tractors. The witness said that Carter
took no action upon his report and
seemed to be very much offended by It.
After that time, said the witness, the
engineer made matters uncomfortable for
him.
Mr.. Osborne cross-examined the wit
ness. He admitted that he had superin-
tended the construction of at least nine
tenths of the work done in Savannah
harbor under the 1892 contract; that he
had certified to the work done. that he
had been that 1t was done in accordance
with Carriers instructions to him and
that when there was any disparity be-
tween quantity of material used and that
demanded under Carter's instructions,
he did not certify to any more than was
really put In, so that the contractors
were paid no more than the material act
ually employed called for.
