 Ali day yesterday the New York market made steady advance but to- wards the close it declined Jittie from its best and even at the close was II points higher than the close on Thursday evening. New Orleans likewise closed 12 points higher. The advance, according to most authorl- ties, is due to the weather and spec ulation. while the closing of the Liv- erpool market a8nin yesterday on ac. count of Easter Monday also affected the market slightly.
 Considerable cotton was offered yes terday for ten cents by the local hold. CTS but there were no buyers at that price. The holders are holding of for ten cent price and if the market reaches that point it is very prob able that some large lots will be released.

however, were not paid, and

Bryan Butcher yesterday
caught a three and a half
pound bass out at Mobiles Lake
