 Cothran, Manager.

New Orleans, March N.-The event or the Easter holidays is being reflected in dullness born of stagnation. Liverpool re- maining practically undisturbed when something in the way of an improve ment was looked for there. and while spots were advanced points, sales were only 5000 bales.
 There were no new developments in American overnight, the weather remain ing partly cloudy to fair in all sec- tions Of the belt, the predicted rains fail- ing to materiallze
 The movement to the ports continued comparatively free arrivals at all ports since last Friday footing up 103,0 900 against 76,000 for the same period last year and 131 0OO year before last.
 The stock market was steadier and somewhat higher as a result of the more favorable outlook in London, bullion with drawn from the Bank of England for the week amounting to only G20 for ship ment to Singapore, where as deposits to the amount of e71,0o0 were made, vir- tually assuring no change in the Bank of Englands discount rate tomorrow, which at the momnet Is ruling at per cent.
 The easiness of the English cotton ca bles however, influenced values in Amer ica to a lower level, but trading during the session was limited to covering ac- counts in advance of holidays.
 The only complaint in connection with the crop is want of rain to improve the prospects of crop that promises to be the earliest on record.
 Semi-weekly movements for the first half at thirteen interior towns: Receipts, 42,OO0 against 32,OO0; shipments, 53,OOO against 43,000; stock, 394,0OO against ESQ., 900. This movement Is less bearsh than heretofore as to receipts and stocks. Re- ceipts for half of the week at thirteen interior towns, while 10000 larger than last year, are 21,000 smaller than in 1905 and stocks show a loss of Il GOO bales this year against a loss of Il, GOO bales one year ago. and a loss of only 1000 bales year before last.
 It Is to be expected that receipts will show marked falling off henceforth, yet at the same time, 1t Is thought this very development will serve to sustain values.
 Hesters figures on the weeks insight and variations in the worlds visible SUD- ply will not be published until next Mon day morning, on account of holidays Fri day and Saturday,

COTTON Is STEADY AT SMALL DECLINE Five to Seven Points Taken
 from Prices SCATTERING LIQUIDATION Opening Is Steady at Decline of to 8 Points On Poor cables-Further Loss In Absence of Support
 In a Quiet Market.

New York, March 27.-The cotton mar ket was very quiet during todays trad ing and a little under the closing figures of the previous day, the close being steady at net decline of to [ points. Sales were estimated at 75,000 bales.
 The opening was steady at net de- cline of to points, but the market in creased the loss to a matter of to ' points on the active months immediately after the call. owing to disappointing cables. scattering liquidation and a little selling for a turn by local professional on the ordinary recovery of the previous day, which had so reduced the short interest as to take further evening up for over the holidays to cause slight re- sessions.
 The failure of rain to materalize in the southwest and more encouraging re- ports from the stock market created a little buying at the decline, but after a rally carrying prices to within a point or two of the previous day the list eased off again, owing to the absence of sus- tained support. The close was as prac- tically the lowest point of the session.
 While no rain was reported in the south the weather continued cloudy and bears were looking for rains in the dry sections.
 Southern spot markets were generally unchanged and receipts continued about the recent scale.
 Receipts at the ports today 272l0 bales, against 27,693 last week and 16472 last year.
