COTTON NOT ACTIVE
 BUT IS HIGHER Closes at Advance of 5 to IA
 Points STRONG INTEREST IN MAY Receipts at Ports Are Lighter, But Lack of Confidence In General
 Situation Restricts
 Trading.
STRONG INTEREST IN MAY

New York, March 15.-The cotton mar ket was less active today and prices re- covered part of the recent loss with the close steady at net advance of to II points. Sales were estimated at 150,oW bales.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to points in response to better ca bles than expected, and reports of an improvement in stock market conditions and covering of shorts. The fact that the May option was selling only or points under July. thus suggesting strong con- centrated long interest attracted consid- erable attention and added to the un- easiness of shorts whose covering forced prices about II points net higher on the active months during the early trading.
 But there seemed to be a continued lack of confidence in the general situation, re. ceipts continued full, the weather was con- sidered favorable and the into sight figures for the week were heavy. This checked buying for long accounts and while the undertone of the market was steady during the afternoon there was considerable cotton for sale on the pulges and prices eased off a little from the best.
 Last prices on the active months were about or points down rom the top. Trading was almost entirely local. There were reports of better demand for low grades from southern mills. but viey little spot news was circulated.
 I The spot markets officially reported were generally unchanged.
 Receipts at the ports today, S2177 bales, against 31.2s2 last week and 3l,7o4 last year
 For the week, 16o,00 bales, against 1I5,- 453 last week and 1172S6 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, g6S4 bales, against 5000 last year, and at Houston, 3760 bales, against 4907.

H. & B. Beers Cotton Letter to c. H.
 Cothran, Manauer,

New Orleans, March 15.-What might have been a second black Friday was for tunately averted today by London's re- fusal to be carried away by the intense excitement and uneasiness which pre- vailed in Wall street yesterday. The English, instead of selling were buyers of American securities, the effect of which resulted in a steadier and somewhat high CT market, which in turn served to re- store confidence at New York.
 It is probable that Secretary Cortelyous announcement that the department of the United States treasury would help to re- lieve the monetary situation by assisting the national banks by ordering the depos- ting of public funds in financial institu- tions, and that government bonds would be redeemed and interest paid in advance, had the desired influence upon the mind of the public and directly upon the mar ket.
 The steadness of the cotton market during the panic in stocks. which was due more to brain storms brought on by fear of impending anti-railroad legisla- tive measures in the different states, per- haps by the federal government in the fu- ture, is not to be passed unnoticed, op- orators realizing the intrinsic value of the staple when compared to speculative specialtes of the security markets, which are subject to open attack for one reason or another.
 As rule. cotton is generally affected unfavorably or favorably, as the case may be, by supply and demand, and as there is no assurance of the supply, this sea son, even though the crop be in excess of 100000 bales, meeting requirements owing to the large waste in the season s yield estimated at not less than 800, 900 bales, the undertone of the market re- mained steady in face of the adversities which overcame Wall street values, the choice of standard stocks suffering most.
 The movement to market continues heavy There has already been marketed II 800 900 bales. against 9,0s6,000 last year and 10O76,0OO year before last.
 The market looks as though it might be able to take care of itself. The port movement today was estimated at 1000, against 31.O00 last year.
