New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, March 7.-Spot cotton was steady 1sc down on all grades. Middling, 11Ac. Sales were 17oo bales on the spot and S75 to arrive. Futures opened dull, with the active months points below the close yesterday. Liverpool was shade easier than expected, and this, combined with the absence of any reassuring trade advices, depressed the market After the opening futures ruled barely steady, with the March option neglected and no great activity shown in May or July. The notice ordering a continuance of short time in the New England mills had been ex- pected, and did not affect the market to any great extent. There was moderate improvement in the speculative side of the market, and this, with good support from room traders, gradually brought the futures back to better levels before the close, which was steady, with the active months to points above the close yes- terday.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, March 7.-(Special.) )-There was today combination of bearsh features connected with the wheat situation that made bulls sing small and made the satls- fled shouts of the bears the only sounds that could be heard. Increasing winter and spring wheat receipts, and all that was good of the next crop prospects fe- ported from the country, turned confi- dence of bulls into apprehension and the bears got the benefit of the doubt. At the close declines were. heavy. May wheat was 21a@2ssc lower. Corn was AQssc lower for May, and oats lost 1s@Ac for May.

Manchester Cloth Market.

Manchester. March 7.-Although busi- ness in the cloth market during the past week has not improved as a whole, cer- tain makers secured fair orders at re- duced prices. The India business was confined to scattered orders in dhooties and shirtings. China took miscellaneous standard makes in small quantities. but the trade in other directions was poor
 Yarns showed little improvement Amer ican crops accumulated rather inconven- iently in the hands of spinners and only small sales at irregular trade were opened The export trade also was poor.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, March tSpecial.)-While the local feeling continues very bearish and Liverpool declined more than expect ed, the improvement in the situation from the resumption of the Knickerbocker Trust company, by order of the court, created better undertone. On the open ing decline May was again absorbed, go- ing into the same hands as before.
 The commercial agencies report a slow improvement in business, but this does not change the local pessimistic tone which is affected by the reports from the American spinners. who are extremely bearish and who report the south as offering on a lower basis.
 We look for a better market in Liver pool Monday in answer to the better feeling in financial circles.

THE LOCAL MARKETS.

Local spot cotton dropped 1sc .yester- day, going to 11asc.
 The dulness which hung over Molrls avenue Thursday and Friday continued yesterday, and only a small amount Of business was transacted. Changes were few, the lowering of lines from $1 p to s1 and an increase in all varieties of seed potatoes from s1.15 to $1.20, being the only ones noted. Incoming shipments continue active, however, and this condi- ton, it is believed, will resuet in slight lowering in prices al lthe way round.

was looked over the band escaped

The retail grocers of the city OF

The grocers OF the city are perfect
ly willing to extend credit to respon-
sible parties for a period OF thirty

to protect themselves against un.
scrupulous persons who make II a
rule to run bills for thirty days and
then refuse to pay for the goods.
The resolutions also contains the
following: we hereby agree not 10
extend credit longer than the fifth OF
each month and all customers who
fail to settle by that time will be
dropped. We have a list OF all par
ties in the city who are behind in
their accounts and TO those we will
extend the time limit until the 18th
OF June. Should they fail to make a
satisfactory settlement by that time
their names will be given TO every
member OF the association who will
keep It on file for further reference.
We as merchants OF the city appre
ciate the patronage OF the good citi
zens and these measures are moi
adopted In any manner relative tc
them, but as is well known the retail
grocer has many bad debts to contend
with and II is to guard against such

GLASS FACTORY PROSPECTS
LOCAL BUSINESS MAN IN coRRE-
SPONDENCE WITH GLASS
MANUFACTURER.

If plans do not 90 amiss, within
short time the people of this city
will see deal closed whereby an
other enterprise with pay roll
will be added to the increasing num-
Der of enterprises in this city.
\ certain property owner in this
city who also owns a glass sand
bed and who has had his sand test
ed by leading chemists of the coun
try Is in correspondence with a glass
manufacturer of Indiana with a view
of having the manufacturer locate a
plant in this city where natural gas
may be secured as fuel.
In all probability II will be but
short time before the manufac-
turer will come down and hold a
conference with the owner of the
sand bed to see If possible the close
of a deal.
1t has been known for some time
that considerable quantities of glass
sand was in easy access to the city,
but the question was to secure a
cheap fuel which can be used in
utilizing the sand. The factory will
be located in this city, because of
the fact glass workers will not work
away from a town where advan-
tages may be secured for their chill
dren and where amusements cannot
be had
