NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York Nov. 12.--After an early de- cline the cotton market rallied today with the close steady at a net advance of 26S points. Sales were estimated at 250, 900 bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of aG4 points and during the early session cold off to a net decline of SOS points under a renewal of local bear pressure and scattering liquidation, which was promot- ed by disappointing English cables and the teneney to increase estimates of the crop as reflected by a couple of private reports. one of which placed the probable yield at fa.s65.0 900 bales and the other at 13. 2B0. 900 bales. At the decline the market received substantial support. several prominent brok- CTS entering the ring with buying orders for blocks ranging up to 5000 bales and as soon as the market steadied. some of the early sellers began to cover.
 There appeared to be nothing fresh in the news to encourage the buying movement but the market ruled generally steady to firm during the afternoon. reaching a net advance of III points in the late trading and closing within two or three points of the top on active months.
 The near months were relatively firm. The Southern spot markets officially report ed unchanged to hc lower

 Though with a little improvement in the big markets Montgomery spot cotton re- ana 1ssc ssss Ss note occurred. and another day passed as scores have done heret6fore. with nothing but the desultory influx of farmers with their few bales to mark its passage.
 Sales have been remarkably slight for the past month, and there have probably been less transactions between factors and shippers during that time than ever in any of MonkaomsFy,
 One merchant has advanced the idea that the lack of sales ls due to the zeal of the street buyers. The jealousy which arises between tho buyers of the various houees causes them to advance the prices 70 the farmers, in order to buy for the factors Thus the price is kept up and hoosted beyond figures at which cotton can be sold at profit. Factors and warehouse men buy cotton from the farmer and are in turn offered price by the exporters. cfent for the factor to sell at a profit or even as a reimbursement. and hence he sells not at all.
 Such is one theory for the lack of sales. but whatever may be in 1t. 1t is generally conceded that there will be no wide relin- ouishing of the staple by the factors until nine cents or better is reached There may he few who show . disposition to sell at less. but these are the persons who naa6 the ready money. The rest are holding out for the raise. and. incidentally, hoping that t will not be long in coming And surely they deserve a favorable oonsummation of their hopes and efforts. for if ever there was class deserving of better for their staple. and against whom multitudinous covet, 1t is the class of Southern cotton groWers.
