COTTON GOES UP
THEN EASES OFF
Shorts Cover Over Triple HoIi-
day, but Early Rise Meets
Freer offerings.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2O.-Inhuenced by
better Liverpool cables than due and
covering by traders, who feared to go
short over the triple holiday, gave a
firm tone to the cotton market at the
opening to-day and first prices were at
net advance of 2 to 8 points from
Thursdays close.
The market here was further helped
by the strength of the Southern spot
markets Houses with Liverpool con-
nection with good buyers. Offerings
We're light after the call attributed
chiefly to Wall street and the ring
crowd AT the end of the first 80 min
utes prices were l to 8 points below the
opening quotations. Later the market
recovered this loss and advanced to a
range of to 8 points over last night
close, through active buying, said to be
for trade interests and a fair demand
coming from some of the larger spot
people. There was very little pressure
to sell

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 20.-The bene-
fetal effect of the least bullish encour-
agement from New York was shown to-
day in strong Liverpool, with futures
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 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 very steady
undertone. 1t 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
likely be found that the strictness of
our delivery system and the justice of
our differences will crease a 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
a buyer iii this market to-day. Wall
street sold and Hentz was probably the
best buyer. The selling was scattered
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
j. NJ. Anderson.
Out of respect TO the late G. w We

The New York Journal OF Commerce
says; Storms are delaying dry goods

ket Is attracting closer attention, as
dealers believe buyers must soon come

Sales Of about 10000 pieces wide and

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

for three days, beginning with to-mor-
row In the present state of feeling
few operators care to face so prolonged
closure, as almost anything might
turn up meanwhile. For the moment
the trade Is Aiehy awaiting the result
of the March iquidaton. There il 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
in this market, for the differences have
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
denly disappear and the disappea rance
may reveal . snort interest OF tremen-
