~.,v or,e,n. cotton Market

New Orleans, February n.-Cotton fu-
lures opened steady at an advance OF 10
uoints on very favorable cables. First
prices were the highest in the early trad
ing as the market commenced to sag
off Immediately after the frst call was
over under selling for both accounts based
on rains In Texas. Private cable messages
from Liverpool told of immense sales or
call cotton TO spinners, and this prevent
ed decided weakness. May received the
most pressure, and at its lowest sold z
points over yesterdays closing
The market was dull but steady
throughout the morning session. Bulls
showed no aggressiveness and bears were
evidently inclined to even up because OF
the holiday In the New York market 10
morrow. The effect of rains in Texas as
shown on the weather map was by prl-
vate reports complaining OF inadequate
moisture in the ground to start the new
crop with in several important sections
of the state. This prevented much OF
decline under the dullness. Trading AT
noon was at prices unchanged to points
up compared with yesterdays closing.
In the afternoon session the market con-
tinued dull and showed only narrow
price changes The bullish into sight fig
IIres for the week were offset In the es-
timation OF the ring by spinners' takinas
that looked small compared with last year
and the year before, Hesters figures being
25s. 900 bales, against 1900 and S44,0 The
closing was steady at a net advance of
2 to 5 points.

 Further on down Patterson creek is located Bock-(the rest of his name has been torn off)-anyway, he has good prospects on his fraction, pans having weighed as high as Sl.07. The next claim below is where Barker & Coburn are working with small working rig and have foir ground opened out. They will probably make better than wages this summer.
 The net results are that the camp will produce several hundred thousand dollars, and the circulation of your valuable paper should increase accord ingly. xxx
