THE LOCAL COTTON
SPOTS IN MONTGOMERY WERE WEAK.
 MIDDLING f016 GENTS.
specuIators are Losing Confidence in the Holding Moyen1ent--Receipts at All Points Were Remark
 ably Heavy.

htrlcl mfddiing 'ivv1sc Strict low aiadiing ..... ... ..19 s-isc
 Ten and one-half cents was the ruling price offered for spot cotton yesterday ln Montgomery and some cf the buyers ea- pressed the opinion that this was good Vaiua under tho cixcuElssances.
 Futures opened around Saturdays ct3si,n,s prices but soon began to decline anc oulis seemed to be helpless in the tace or the the close about as points had been lost and May options were considerably under Il cents. 5tt ,
 A reliable New York operator early in the day published statement showing that tne actual amount of cottcn ginned from Jshu- mry fe to February 1st was 3,0Oo more tnah tho government had estimated for the bal. snoe of the seasor Then inland points and the ports reported remarkably heavy te- ceipts.
 Bears seized upon this news and the buals cotff not offset 1t. The increased receipts are due to the fact that exporters nave bought heavily on the declining market. This may mean that plantation suppnes will soon be exhausted in which case tnere may be scme hope for the men who pinned their faith to higher level or values
 The cold truth is that the country IS los ing confidence in the holding movement. New York operators who believed Tn the Cotton Association have met with dtsaster and soHna of them have fled from the mar kek.
 while present prices look cheap as com pared with two weeks ago. there seems to be little stability to the market when tne market has lost l60 points 1t would LOOK like Rgod time to average up, but buyers may find easier periods before the week IS over.
