Potatoes. onions nna yeretahIea

Business in potatoes is gtiiet at the moment
as the high prices have tendency to check
sales and the trade is well stocked anyhow but
the few dealers who control the market are very
firm in their views and there is no disposition to
cut prices or urge business. Four cars of Oregon
Burbanks reached the market yesterday and the
receivers were asksing $1.S5 GENITAL for the
stock Onions were in light supply and firm
with occasional sales of fine Oregon stock re-
ported at small premium. Receipts of garden
vegetables from the south extremely light
and good prices were readily obtained for any
thing choice. but good portion of the peas and
beans received were of poor quality and hard to
sell, although offered at figures well below the
inside quotations. Receipts of rhubarb from
across the bay were increased to As boxes and
the stock sold readily at S@l0c pound while
Ventura lots found few buyers. Asparagus sold
at a lower range, the receipts did not grade

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET
Speculative Market Quiet Cotton
Goods Moving

NEW YORK. Feb 3-Huttons wire says
''The local market opened quiet and steady, TO
cables. Spot demand IS nil, with the south
offering more freely. 1t is hard to bull any
thing without a demand Some of the best
judges looking for a quiet and sagging
market until some new. features come TO hand.

but the volume did not appear to be large
enough TO greatly influence operations of the
large holders of nearby contracts and Of the
was reported but unsatisfactory business in
yarn is said TO exist. There is good deal of
talk about reducing the average, owing to
the low prices of the new crop months last year
during the height of the planting season. The
new crop months sold 100 points below the level
now prevailing, and acreage was actually in
COTTON NOTES
New York-The local feeling continues to be
bullish the absorption Of the outside Iiquida-
ton Of the positions without decline of
consequence. The cotton goods market con-
tinues strong, with orders larger. China is
again making inquiries for cotton goods. More
buyers arrive here to make spring and fall pur
chases- Jobbers are In receipt Of good orders.
cloths are steady. Spot men say that some
people who had been looked to to bring cotton
here TO tender March contracts
to be trying TO cover their March shorts. The
local stock is quietly but surely disappearing.
The certified stock is losing on an average Of
1900 bales day.
New orleans-The lack of moisture in the
western half Of the cotton belt this year thus
especially in Texas. In some section prepare
lions for the crop being delayed, the
soil being too hard for blowing, and water is
so scarce that it is being hauled TO points in
the interior. The last fall has been unusually
dry all the central and western portions
of the cotton region, and thus far the winter
has been almost as rainless, except in a few
scattered localities. At points in Texas
there was no rain at all during the month of
December, and the distribution thus far this
year has been very light. AS yet there is
no relief in sight, the forecast being fair for
all cotton states. The bad feature as regards
new crop prospects is that the last long dry
spell might terminate in a wet spring, which
would further retard farm work, and possible
wet planting season might be followed by
dry, hot summer.
The New Orleans Times Democrat says: ''In-
terror advices indicate practical exhaustion at
many points and somewhat positive demand
the part of spot owners to hold cotton to
10 cents minimum. If resort to such tactics
is really to become a factor now, the I'M
weary operator viii certainly suffer through
any forced attempt to depress Values"
