NEW ORLEANS, Feb 13.-Since the
close of New York Wednesday, Liver
pool advanced to 8 points on futures.
and points on spots. with sales of
5 600 to-day Liverpool was due only
8 to higher, hence that market shows
individual strength. which is only APP
parent on days when straddle operations
with New York are suspended.
Our market opened about points
lower. as New York did not follow yes
terday's advance, but there We're few
sellers and the market ruled steady.
Spot advices from all around show bull
ish spot conditions, steady demand at
full prices. no weakness on the part
of holders. To-morrow's census report
on consumption by our mills during
January is expected to be unfavorable
and may have a temporary effect, but
spot conditions are at present the ruling
factor. and with mill activity now in full
swing, consumption statistics are bound
TO be bullish in the future

ing-Sentiment Mixed-Long
Interest Almost Cleaned Up,

NEW YORK. Feb 13.-Trading was
light at the opening OF the cotton mar
ket to-day with first prices at net
advance of to points from Wednes
days close, The strength in the market
was attributed to the operation Of
Southern spot interests and in response
to firm Liverpool cables. After the call
trading was limited with very little out
side business. Offerings were scattered
but sufficient to depress prices > to 4
points from the opening, but the market
took the selling well and eventually re-
covered the decline. While the majority
seem TO favor further decline, some of
the more conservative operators are adj
vising purchases, owing to the wide diff
ference between contracts and spots in
the South.
During the late forenoon offerings
were scarce and the ring looked short,
which brought out covering. Some of
the larger spot houses were noticeable
on the buying side, resulting in March
advancing TO 12.25. May 1877 and July
1874. 1t took very little buying to adj
vance prices, as the pressure to sell
seems to have slackened considerably in
the past several days. This, coupled with
the fact that the long interest has been
pretty well cleaned up, puts the mar
ket in much healthier position for a
further upturn
AT the close the market was very
steady. with prices at net advance OF
8 TO II points from the final quotations
of Wednesday.

Local Produce Notes

Business in the produce line CON
tinues very good this week. Neseta bles
of every kind are moving as fast as they
come in al very satisfactory prices.
Fruits are also being sold AZ fast as
they arrive, although the price is high.
with the exception of oranges, which
have been coming freely the past few
days and selling rather low for the
time of the year, as compared with
other seasons.
The trade seems hungry for straw
berries, says Fidelity, and the receipts
are very light for the length OF time
they have been moving from shipping
points. Dealers claim that the light re-
ceipts TO this market is caused by heavy
demand from all markets, the weather
being cool they are being shipped from
Florida points as far north as Mon
treal, Canada.
Fidelity received car Of Florida
oranges and grapefruit Wednesday,
and they We're absorbed very rapidly at
satisfactory prices. They win receive a
car of tomatoes from Florida to-day or
Saturday, which they expect to sell at
fancy sin basket crates at S250 and
choice stock at Sl5O per crate.
The reactionary tendency shown in
eggs since Christmas continues Bell
Bros. sold several dozen cases Thurs
day for "a cents a dozen, a drop of
cent a dozen since Wednesday Local
dealers anticipate still further declines,
owing to the mild weather. Mr.. Bell
SAYS prices will certainly go as low as
2212 cents next week, if present wealth
er conditions continue. The stock OF
eggs, however, is not in excess of the
demand, but buyers are bidding for only
limited quantities, believing II would be
unwise TO stock UP on eggs in the face
OF a declining market.
The stock of chickens Is not very
large and is mostly hens and ROSTERS
Dressed hens are selling a lGc and lie
per pound, slight increase over last
weeks quotations. Fries are 25C to SOC
per pound and turkeys @5c per pound,
owing to fairness. The same may be
said about live poultry
j. j. Barnes & Co say there is very
little change in Irish and sweet pota-
toes. both being in liberal supply, with
the demand only moderate. while eel
cry is plentiful, but meeting with ready
sale at So so per crate,
Tomatoes have begun to arrive in car
lots and are meeting with ready de-
mand by the local trade. Lettuce re-
cetpts are heavier this week and prices
are lower, being $l.75 to So per drum.
PepepIs squash, snap beans and Eng
fish peas receipts are very light. not
more than half enough coming to supply
the local demand.
rapefruit dealers hold for high prices
in Florida. claiming the supply is very
limited, so that receipts are light to
this market and prices necessarily high.
Grapefruit brought SO to S3.5 so per crate
Thursday. Lemons have not shown any
advance this week, although dealers at
the shipping points are holding for
higher prices.
The market is rather firm on onions,
cabbage. turnips and sweet potatoes,
but no change in prices OF note
Turner Bros, say fish of all kinds are
scarce and high on account of storms
along the east and west coast. but eX-
pect liberal shipments by Saturday
