At The Close The Tone Is steady At Net Advance Of To Il Goints. Sales For The Day Esti-
 mated At 4yO,000.


 New York, Feb. 23.--After selling at A new low level for the movement, dur ing the first half hour the cotton mar ket rallied and closed steady at a net advance of 3@l1 points.
 Sales were estimated at about 4SO.o00 bales.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of s points on February, but generally unchanged to 1 points lower under renewed liquidation and bear pressure in the face of steady from the spot market.
 The initial break carried March to 1907 and May to 10.40. or about 5 points under Wednesdays finals, but at this level offerings were less press ing and good demand developed from local shorts and trade interests. The market rallied to a net gain of about to 3 points and then turned irregu- lar during the middle session to firm active demand from shorts and some fresh buying for long account based on the idea that March liquidation was practically completed anu that there was nothing to depress the market in the face of the big demand for spot cotton reported from the South. The market closed steady in tone and at practically the top prices of the ses- sion.
