COTTON LETTER.
By Private Wire to Loyeman & Company
 2R COuauaaraa Street

S6 Commerce Street.
 New Orleans, Feb "A healthier tone, in duced by the appearance of a good spot fe- mand, pervaded the cotton market today. steady at a decline of only 1 to : points: while spots were unchanged. with a good I2O0O bales. Our market responded to the favorable course of Liverpool by opening steady at an advance of 10 to F points, bear crowd hammered the market. which eased off several points. May selling as low ed 'iiH in Liverpool had had spread @ " to this side. and there was fresh buying. both here and in New York giving the market an upward sor the Of SeFan ao cover. and the market was rushed ID seve- rsl points higher. May selling up to II O4: At to take profits, and, under pressure of sell ing orders prices dropped back to about spot market showed even larger sales than had been anticipated and prices reached the highest level of the day just before the close, which was firm at net advance of 19 to 20 points.
 Spots. were officially reported steady and arrive. on the basis of 10 11-lSc for mid ding. One hundred bales were delivered on contract The overdue spot demand put in it's appearance today. The inquiry for class of buyers, but was of a general charac- ter. AS we have pointed out in our pre- NlOuS clrCularS, a &Oou spot demand was all that was needed to start an advance. which was quickly realized today as soon as the fact that there a spot demand became known. Some interest was evlnced also to- day in the report that Harvie Jordan had left for New York to confer with E. R. Thomas. who Is said to have formed syn dtcate of powerful interests which will agree to take over 500.00 bales of cotton to be held for 13 cents. It is thought here that p. R. Thomas, does not represent himself In this matter as much as he does certain other interests. which for obvious reasons wish their identity concealed until such time as they may see fit to make it known. In this connection we should not be surprised to see some startling developments come to light before very long, and for the time be ing, 1t would be well to keep a weather eye on New York, where some remarkable shift ing of the speculative scenery has recently taken place. The chief strength of tho situation. however depends upon the char acter of the spot demand and as long 1t continues good. no syndicates of any sort will be needed to support the market. We do not think the market is ready as yet for a permanent advance, and hence. we advise profit taking on any sharp rise, with view of replacing on any weak periods that may subsequently, develop.
 Yours truly.

House Bill Proposes Abolition of
 Lieutenant General Grade.
 Washington. Feb. 7.-Provision for the abolition of the grade of Lieuten- ant General, the highest rank in the army, is made in the army appropria- tion bill which has been ordered re- ported to the house from the committee on mi>ry affairs. The section is very brlef, simply providing that the place shall not be filled after the retire. ment of the incumbent. Lieutenant General Bates.
 If this legislation secures the ap- proval of congress, Major General Corbin, Mac Arthur and Wood will not be able to secure the expected promotion to the grade of Lieutenant General.
 Another provision of the bill will stop the practice of promoting general officers for the purpose of retiring them at a higher grade. It prohibits the promotion of an officer above the grade of colonel and his retirement unless he shall have served at least one year in his last grade.

SPOTS SHOWED FIRST ADVANCE IN
 SEVERAL DAYS.
Demand of spinners for Actual Cotton Gave the Market a Better Tone and Higher Prices Are
 Expected.

Holders of cotton and bullish speculators had an inning yesterday and at the close or a market which showed an advance of 1sc to s--16c for spots and about 20 points for futures there was a better feeling all around.
 Futures opened 10 to II points higher than Tuesdays close and advanced abont 10 points. closing around the best ouotatlons of the day. The advance was due to the increased demand of English and American spinpers who are on the market Tor actual cotton The cloth market maintains it's stiff price, notwithstanding the lower level of the cotton market. Spinners have aver shot themselves in their eagerness to secure a stock at the present low prices.
 The demand of the English spinners was reflected in the Liverpool market wnich closed two points lower when loss or at least seven points was expected.
 There was not much business in Montgom- cry yesterday, holders evidently having be- come more determined upon hearing the good news from abroad. .
 There is promise Of stiu better conut- kfons today.
