Important Developments.

New York, February S.-The stock mar
nSet had an active hour after the opening
today. during which prices were held
above the level of yesterdays recovery.
Apparently distribution was going on at
that level, and the market lapsed into
,extreme dullness and hesitatlng fiuctua-

The effect was to revive doubts over the
speculative outlook. Most Of the material

by houses with important Washington
connections. The effect was to produce the
Impression that important developments

H. G. B. Beers Cotton Letter to C. n
Cothran, MANAGER

New Orleans February S.-There was a
display of bullish enthusiasm in the local
market today, the like of which has not
been witnessed for many a week. 1t was
not favorable advices from England that
Influenced values to a higher level in
America, as cables from Liverpool were
not altogether satisfactory. futures there
closing unchanged to n shade higher than
yesterday. while spots were in less de-
mand; sales, 10000 bales, at decline of
2 points.
Traders anticipated bulllsh weekly fig
ures on mill takings, this evening. suf-
fcently large enough to absorb the weeks
insight, which promises to cut a hole in
the worlds visible. Weekly returns as to
run of receipts at inland towns disclosed
the fact that the movement at points In
north Texas. north Louisiana and in
Arkansas, In the Red river valley and at
points in the Mississippi valley were of
more moderate proportions than of late
AS a matter of fact, arrivals during the
past week at Little Rock, Helena, Dallas
and Vicksburg were somewhat smaller
than for the corresponding week of one
year ago. and although the falling off is
attributed to less inquiry for spots in the
interior and to high water, which has &C
casioned the suspension OF steamboat traf-
fic on the rivers In some instances, and
the removal and diverting of cotton to
points of safety along the Mississippi in
north Mississippi. the smaller run of re-
ceipts has been accepted as indicative Of
the promised falling off in arrivals so long
looked for but In vain.
At any rate, there was a great deal of
missionary work executed and while
there were bids made for large blocks of
the staple. little in the way of executions
took place except for outside account De-
velopments In the spot market were not
so pronouncedly bulllsh, for while a fair
business was reported. there was not
much animation, and 1t is possible that
the market will not be quoted more than
