COTTON MARKETS.

New York. March "A steadier feeling pre-
vailed toward the end OF the session in the cot
ton market today. following early eaSiness.
While spinners takings showed an improve
ment over those Of last week, the week end sta
tistics generally were bearish.
Continued rains in Texas and Oklahoma
caused pressure against the distant months.
especially October. That month showed an
opening loss Of points. with other positions
unchanged to points higher.
After showing net losses Of TO l6 points.
buying for the account Of Eastern spinners
caused partial recovery, and the market
turned in the second hour steady In tone with
the oId-crop positions within Or points o,
the previous days close Savannah reported ex-
ports OF li.o0 bales. and ii was said further
large exports from Atlantic ports might be eE-
pected in the near future.
A closing spurt Of covering and buying for
foreign account resulted in q further rally which
almost wiped out the early losses on the near
positions. The market was finally steady, pet
unchanged to II points net lower.
Receipts at the port for the day were u 900
bales. against 1850 a year ago.
Spot here was quiet, with middline unchanged
at $40; spot at New Orleans steady and un-
changed at 81 for middling. Sales Sos bales.
Receipts at New Orleans were 800: ST. Louis
$3.50; Galveston, 2.6s3 and Mobile, lis bales.

Hogs Heavily Bought;
Mutton Prices Rise

Chicago. March THE weeks sale
of hogs was about on a par with last
weeks Today the big operator
bought heavily. Indications are that
the coming week will show a strength
ened tone in prices. Comparatively
small runs were reported at most
markets today. Here the arrivals
were estimated at 5000. Best stock
brought 81.
Choice steers were about 25c higher
than a week ago while butchers was
25 to 40 cents lower. Total supplies
Of cattle this week were greater than
last week, but the good demand kept
the market in fair shape Common 20
medium steers sold generally from
81 TO Sl3. while choice brought SIS.sO
to S1450
Closing trade I'm live muttons was
generally 60 cents to 20 cents higher
than a week ago. Prime lambs made
Sl7.45 with heavy stun SlG75. The biz
gest demand during the week was for
lambs, this probably being due 70 the
exemption Of mutton for the mestless
DAYS.

FORTUNES DROPPED
BY SLUMP In EGGS

New York. March 2-The slump In
eggs has cost shippers and specuIa-
tors s250.OO0. according to P. @. Foy.
market price expert. The continued
mild weather and improved transpor-
tation conditions unlocked for by
dealers is the cause Wholesale egg
prices have dropped from 6 to 35 and
36 cents a dozen. Small fortunes have
been lost by individual spectators
who bought eggs two or three weeks
ago for delivery here.
Great quantities Of eggs shipped
from Chicago are in the hands of the
express companies. Spectators re-
fused to accept them on arrival be-
cause of the slump. They will be sold
by the carriers and the loss borne by
the shippers. In the last week $,-
534. .l6O eggs arrived here.

CHICAGO GRAIN.
BY JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.

Chicago. March 2,-Com futures were feature
less today and the cioAe was unchanged. There
was no news develop'nents to engendcr specnla-
tion on either side of the market. Cash corn
was steady to about cents lower. The dimin-
ished demand was said to be due to better
weather for saving soft corn.
Oats futures were the quietest in years, though
the undertone was firm, March closed Isc up.
while May was unchanged to &c lower. Strength
Of the March delivery caused fnDnes in cash
oats, but toward close premiums over the posi-
tions were somewhat lower.
There were adEences Of 25 70 % cents in hogs
at the yards today and this was the forerunner
of price gains in hog products on the board Of
trade. Close:
