COTTON MARKET 2, VERY IRREGULAR Some Options Advance While
 Others Decline MOST ALL NEWS IS BULLISH Market Loses Its Highest Figures By Reports That Southern Mills Will
 Reduce Production of 10
 Per Cent or More.
MOST ALL NEWS IS BULLISH

New York, February 7.-The cotton market was irregular today, closing steady at a net advance of 2 points to @ net decline of points. Sales were estimated at 225.000 bales. The market opened steady at decline of points to an advance of two points and immediately following the call worked higher on bulls support of May, covering of shorts and favorable advices from southern spot markets. Some of the same brokers who were buying May seemed to be selling July with the result, while May iold up to a net advance of points during the afternoon. July hung around the closing figures of last night and later the whole list reacted under realizing with May closing 2 points net higher and July points net lower. Light estimates for tomorrow's receipts, smaller into sight movement for the week than ex- pected and the large exports were sn- couraging factors on the market, while
 the late decline was partly due to the notice from the exchange that advices from the largest southern mill interests showed that reduced consumption Of 10 to 15 per cent is generally expected and unless business improves in the spring the reduction may be considerably larger Wires from the eastern belt re- ported some demand from American mills and there was some talk of in- quiry for supplies out of the local stock. The days exports were about 5000 in ex- cess of port receipts.
 Receipts at the port today, 32,27s bales, against 63,557 last week, and 49,129 last year.
 For the week. 24ooo0 bales, against 2S7,- 9S4 last week and 256, ,71S last year
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, H. 367 bales, against 10,191 bales last year, and at Houston 6224 bales, against Ill., S99 last year.

 Liverpoors early cables were fairly ia vorable and the local future market onened 1 point above the close of yes terday In respect to a lack of inter- est today's market was very much like that of yesterday There was the same absence of demand and other support ing features and the consequent dull ness resulted in a slight recession in values.

Hubbard Bros & Co.'s Letter.

New York. February 7.-(Special)-The strength of the nearby deliveries was due to the nervousness of the market over the reduction in our local stock through the relative cheapness of the new grades, These low grades are lower than In southern markets and the allowances on the high grades wider than those quoted.
 It is thought that line of long cot ton has been acquired on the basis that this market was too low and the result will be to carry this market closer to a parity with the south The receipts are light and the exports heavy, without at tracting attention. To have a 100000 crop the movement will have to material ly increase
