THE COTTON MARKET
NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS. Feb 1-Furthel
steadiness was displayed by the cotton
market today. prices being higher on the
opening, while the gains were well main
tanned throughout the session, no very
wide setbacks being met. In the late
trading the market was at it's best
showing net gains Of 81 to 40 points which
carried March up to 1875. The close was
at net gains of 81 to As points. with
March at 1914.
Early advances were due to better
Liverpool prices than looked for and on
top of these were improved accounts
from Manchester. Some little buying
was done on the passage by the Senate
of the foreign debt refunding bill Toward
the middle of the day there were re-
cessions of 10 to 10 points on realizing
by longs and fresh selling induced by re-
ports received by brokers here of the con-
tinued spread of the strike among Rhode
Island cotton mills.
In the afternoon the market steadied
up again, on somewhat better spot ac-
counts and on further fixing of prices by
German spinners. While this buying was
not on a large scale it created some
sentiment. In the late trading buying
was more general than at any other stage
of the session and the demand was based
mainly on comment from Washington
over private wires to the effect that the
soldiers bonus bill would be defeated.
The tone on the close was very steady.

relative ffrmness, the advance being led
by March contracts, which sold up to
16.sS or A points net higher on covering

That delivery closed at 1856 with the
general market closing steady at a net
advance of 10 to A points.
The market opened firm at an advance
of to % points on the firner showing
of Liverpool and reports of better spot
demand Houses with Liverpool and New
Orleans connections were sellers here at
the start, presumably against purchases
in the English and southern markets, but
the offerings were quite readily absorbed
and active positions sold twenty, to thirty
points net higher before the end of the
morning. This made a recovery of sixty
to seventy points from the low levels of
Monday and as the demand tapered off,
traders both here and in New Orleans
expressed an opinion that the rally had.
been sufficient to ease the technical posi-
ton Prices were sold off some 10 or Is
points on this theory but no important
pressure developed, and the market soon
firnled up again reaching the best points
