HAYWARD & cLARk,s

- ! :
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 20:-The bene-
agement from New York was shown to-
day in a strong Liverpool. with futures
about points higher, spots points
higher; sales 5000 bales. Europe ac-
cepted overnight spot offerings quite
freely. What attracted most attention
here to-day was the shrinkage In in
terror receipts, compared with the past
weeks, and the larger loss in interior
stocks. The Texas movement IN par
ticular shows a sharp drop.
The following message from New York
indicates some revision of ideas and
change in feeling: Don't think the
bulk of low grades will be acceptable
either to spinners or for delivery on
contracts. Hedge selling Of undesirable
grades will have TO be repurchaSed.
Speculation confined tO small shorts.
and. unless spot markets weaken, feel
confident of higher prices and not much
decline"
The contract market here was quiet
this morning, but had a very steady
undertone. It is being realized that
the depression in March is rather the
consequence of dullness, where every
hundred bales rendered can tell, which
would not be the case in an active mar
ket. but that the position is likely TO
improve as soon as the show down
comes on the first notice day. 1t viii
likely be found that the strictness Of
our delivery system and the justice of
our differences will crease demand
from the trade for March tenders, and
that the position will gradually advance
closer to spot values. The experience
of depressing futres tenders. which are
too low for delivery, will also be found
an expensive lesson.

COTTON GOSSIP

NEW YORK. Feb. 20.-Liverpool was
buyer in this market to-day. Wall
street sold and Hentz was probably the
after the call. The ring crowd seemed
inclined to sell after the call.
The demand on all soft spots comes
from good sources, and no decline of
consequence is looked for just now, says

Out of respect TO the late G. w. We
vile, the New York Cotton Exchange
members of the exchange will be held
at 3:15 p. m. to-day, to take further
action on account of the death of Mr..
Neville.
David Lehman died this morning. He
was SO years old. and a member of the
Cotton Exchange since 1881.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says: STORMS are delaying dry goods
shipments and also interfering with re-
tail trade. Cotton goods trading is of
moderate proportions The cotton mar
ket is attracting closer attention, as
dealers believe buyers must soon come
in more freely for yarns needed during
the summer months. There is moder-
ate and steady demand for heavy drills
for future shipment. Southwestern
trade in many leading staples is good.
Sales of about 100. 900 pieces wide and
narrow print cloths have been made
for contract delivery"
The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: There is a special reason why
the American cotton markets should be
lifeless just now. for the New Orleans
and New York exchanges will be closed
for three days, beginning with to-mor-
row. In the present state of feeling
a closure, as almost anything might
turn up meanwhile. For the moment
the trade is iiefiy awaiting the result
of the March liquidation. There is good
reason to believe that holders of con-
tracts have been unduly frightened by
the possibility of getting unstable stuff
or of getting salable stuff at wrong diff
ferences. Certainly no such peril exists
been revised again and again to accord
with the facts. Moreover, trustworthy
advices Indicate that the mills have
been driven to spin low grades on the
grand scale, because the better qualities
were not TO be had except at extreme
prices. Thus the low grades may sud
may reveal a short interest of tremen-
dous proportions. Indeed. this very
thing has happened SO often that veter-
an operators are on the alert For the
nonce It may be well to observe that the
movement is shrinking, In substantial
conformity With bullish forecasts, while
the. belt is getting the general rains for

wants from the news Of the hour and

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 2o.-Hayward

the Mississippi River heavy in parts
