New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans March 2.-Cotton futures opened quiet and steady at an advance of to points on a much higher Liver pool market than expected. After the call the advance was widened to Il to 12 points on May and July on private Liver pool messages, stating the belief that 30 per cent of the Liverpool stock of cot ton had been sold to spinners. The mar ket was dull but very steady in the early trading. March was neglected and there was little business doing in the new crop months. October advanced points over yesterdays closing in the first half hour of trading. The weather map was again unfavorable, showing no rain in the west ern belt.
 The market gradually advanced during the morning until toward noon the more active months were IA to 19 points over yesterdays closing. October was the strongest month, standing 1a points up while March stood only IA points up at the highest. This rise was based mainly on a good spot demand, which resulted in estimated sales of 8250 bales of actual cot ton in the first half of the session. Of the cotton sold, much of tt was hedged and a good proportion of 1t was acquired by purchasers from the interior, who found this market cheaper than their own. Ca- blegrams from Liverpool said that Amer ican operators had given out that they would take up cotton on March-April contracts. rcship 1t to New York and de- liver on May contracts in that market in the event cf . pquce1es but this nsws had

Hubhard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 2-(Special.)- the surprise of the trade Liverpool advanced today in face of the decline in the Amer ican market. The explanation of this movement is to be found in the better demand for cotton goods in Manchester and the consequent demand for cotton in Liverpool. It would seem as if the other agricultural countries had received such high prices for their products that they were willing to buy cotton goods made from 15c cotton, and as England has a great export trade for cotton goods, which America has not, they are buying in Man chester, while our own mills complain of the dullness of the home market for yarns and goods. During the morning the western brokers were thought to have been sellers, but the market quietly but steadily advanced on these adyices from Manchester

This state has set a good example
for safe and sane fourth OF July
Without any of the fuss and feath-
ers'' which characterized some of the
hamboyant states of the north ano

just as deeply felt and httingly ex-
pressed in quiet and neighborly man
ner withl basket picnics and family
gatherings. Fireworks and dullabaloc
are not always an indication of partri-
otism.

CARDS Sunday baseball and Sunday 9TH
er violations of code chapters, paid nc

terms have been pretermitted recently
and many would-be state boarders are
still living at the expense of the sew
eral counties.

vides that all sessions Of the legisla-

pared these amendments for the prin-
ter aud they will be published in one
