There was no encouragement to be had

COTTON MARKET IS
STEADY AND HIGHER.
New Low Level Reached During
First Call
RALLY ON SHORT COVERING
Close Was Practically Best Point of
Session on Active Months, With

Der 10 Points Up.
RALLY ON SHORT COVERING

New York, January 31.-The cotton mar
ket rallied after declining to another
new low level early in the session and
to an advance of 10 points, the new crop
being relatively firm Sales of the day
were estimated at $4,000 bales.
The opening was steady at an advance
of points to a decline of 1 point, the
gains being due to better cables than
due on the New York close of yester-
day, while 1t developed during the prog
ress of the call that there were selling
orders around the ring in the hands of
cotton houses. presumably received as a
result of last nights margin call The
execution of these orders sent the mar
ket off to eli for March and 9.36 for
July, during the first minutes or about
to points net lower and to a new
low level for the season, but as soon
as the liquidation had run its course the
market rallied on covering of shorts and
a little buying for a turn, prompted by
the smaller estimates for tomorrow's re
ceipts at leading points, and reports OF
a better demand for low grade cotton
from New Orleans.
The close was at practically the best
point of the session on the active months,
with March net unchanged and October
ID points net higher. The March May DIFF
ferences widened to II points during the
day, showing the apprehension for March
tenders toward the end of February.
Unsettled conditions in Wall street led
to some Wall street selling during the
early session.
Southern spot markets as officially re-
ported were generally unchanged.
Port receipts for the day, underran
early estimates Receipts at the ports to-
day. 40,462 bales, against 1891 last week
and 14,066 last year. For the week, esti-
mated, $4,000 bales, against 299. 155 last
week, and 132, 1858 last year. Receipts at
New Orleans, 17,O42 bales. against 26O
last year and at Houston, 1882 bales.
against 1865 last year. Cotton futures
