New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. March 1.-Cotton futures opened steady at a net advance of 1 to 5 points on good cables. Liverpool was higher than due on futures and sent over private messages stating belief that the miners strike would be settled soon.
 The bulls offered the market ample sup port, which offset short selling from bears who were impressed by the number of men idle in England and by the weather forecast, which was again dry. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were to points over yesterday.
 The tone was steady throughout the morning, only a few bales of cotton be- ing reported lost when a river packet was destroyed The traders on the bull side took profits at every opportunity. Enough support was offered at all times to keep themarket at a slow advance.
 Reports from nearly all states in the cotton belt showing that planting work is behind as compared with other dates. This offset any bearish sentiment based on the situation abroad. At midday prices were to II points over yesterday.
 In the afternoon the market was dull and prices sagged under profit taking by longs At 2 o'clock the trading months were 9 10 points up.

 A decided drop in receipts northwest of Chicago emphasized opinions that re- gard1ess of 2o,o00,0OO bushels added to re- cent radical estimates of the American farm reserve, the total was still the lightest since 1905.

BUSINESS AGAIN QUIET IN COTTON English Labor Situation Held Attention of
 Trade

New York. March 1.-The English labor situation continued to hold the atten- tion of the trade in the cotton market today and business was again very quiet. but the general ruling of prices was steadier than yesterday and the close was quiet with last prices showing a gain of from to points compared with the final figures of yesterday.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of to points in sympathy With higher Liverpool cables and active months sold up to a net gain of about to points during the morning on the rela- tive firmness of the English market, covering by some of yesterdays sellers and moderate support from leading trade or Wall street bulls. Private cables at tributed the advances abroad to conti- mental buying and increased confidence
 In quick settlement of the English coal 'strike through the intervention of the government. and there may have been some buying on this view of the situa- tion. in connection with continued com plaints of delayed crop preparations in the eastern belt and the absence of south ern news or southern trading here to indicate any increased pressure of spot cotton in the south. The demand, how ever. did not become at all active or general, later reports were less favor able to quick settlement of the Eng fish strike and the market in the late trading eased off under scattered iqul- dation and in sympathy with bearish figures. Local statisticians claimed that the into sight figures continued In tone with the larger estimates of the crop while splnners' takings for the week showed a very considerable falling on as compared with last Friday, and the worlds visible supply of American cot ton, according to the figures of the New York cotton exchange showed small increase, which is very unusual. if not a record breaking occurrence for this season of the year. The close was about 4 points off from the best on the active months.
