New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 10.--The short session of the co4'
 day held 8 steady tone throughout with prices at a mOueI.. < -.s ing stimulated by the idea that the situation between this country and Germany did not necessarily mean war in the near future. At the best of the day the active months were 13 to 21 points up. The close was to 16 up on very steady tone.
 Contributing to the steadiness was the report that the United States gov ernment was in the market for 9.000,- 900 yards of cotton goods. Another feature that helped prices was a pri- vate bureau forecast of next Wednes- days census statistics on January con- sumption in this country of 590,000 bales, not including linters, against 542,000 during January, 1916.
 No selling pressure developed and unfavorable items in the weekly sta tistics were passed unnoticed. It was a small market and no outside busi- ness was apparent. small demand served to put up values.
 The market will b. osed Monday in observance of Lincoln's birthday.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February 10.-The market today was quiet and dull which is natural at this critical time when the exchanges will not be open again until Tuesday. The local feeling is bullish and there was enough local buying to absorb little scattered selling from the south.
 The inability to ship any cotton ex- port at the present time and the diff culty which merchants are having with various export shipments now held up at at the Atlantic ports, attracted news paper comment this morning and natu- rally restricted fresh speculative buying. The whole situation is at present so in- yolved that the trade are confused as to it's outcome.
