March, 29.79 for July and 26.6s for October or 25 to A point net lower. A good deal of cotton was absorbed al ound these figures, however, and reports of trade buying started GOV ering by some of the earlier sellers. Prices firmed up in consequence and the market advanced rapidly with March selling up to S0.75 and Oc- tober to 27.02 or about 34 to 50 polnts from the low level of the morning and 6 to 13 points net high CT. The close was within a few points of the best.
 A prominent southwestern author ity published a report this morn ing estimating the probable increase in acreage at 10.4 per cent. These figures were considered just about in fine with or perhaps slightly be- low average expectations and were not regarded as an important fac tor in the days fluctuations. Offer ings here were very light after the early realizing had been absorbed and the late advance was promoted d by more bullish spot advices from the south. Exports today were 1S,21S, making 3.741,5S5 so far this season. Port receipts 25,S5S; United States port stocks 72S,745.

HJBBARD'S LETTER

NEW YORK, March 6.-tSpecial9- 9-The Liverpool market was slightly lower than due this morning with some Liverpool selling on the opening and from Wall street and commission houses there was decided tendency to take profits. Ac- tivity in the market fell off considerably until after the noon hour when there was local covering. Market during the last hour recovered the loss made during the day on fresh outside buying. There seems to be no change from the present spot situation and there continues to be talk of scarcity. However, we find that in consulting wit hsome mill men that they are more or less inclined to be bear ish on the situation. There is no telling just at this writing how high the near position may go but the new crop months will be very sensitive to the weather over the belt from now on We continue to advise caution at these prices.
 Futures in Liverpool are due tomorrow: May Is 16d, July IS. 9id,-Hubbard Bros.

NEW YORK. March 6.-Reactions were followed by a very sharp re- covery in the cotton market this afternoon with May deliveries sell ing up from 3O35 to 3090 or 13 points net higher and within , points of the high record of yes

 There was scattering buying on relatively firm Liverpool cables and reports of further rains in the south. accompanied by complaints of de
 layed farm work in some sections. This held the market fairly steady right after the call but there seemed to be good deal of reactionary sentiment around the ring, and sell ing became more active after the forecast for clearing weather in the Lett. There also were reports that the spot basis was slightly easier in some sections and for a time the market was unsettled with prices gradually working off to s30.25 for

STEXART,S LETTER

BIRMINGHAM, March 6-Liverpool quotations were points below due with light sales of 5000 bales at an advance of 1 points in their middlings. Manchester cables said spot cotton markets topsy- turvy, short cotton higher than extra staple. Mills find high price better than setting machinery to handle longer staple. Later cables stated Cotton Spinners Man ufacturers' association is curtafling pro duction 50 per cent following lead of mas ter spinners' federation. Our opening was somewhat better than Mondays close and ruled firm but irregular during most of the session. The feature today the liqui- dation of probably 60,0o0 bales of May and July, mostly May. which was supposed to be for prominent New York operator taking profits. This selling together with
 somewhat a reactionary feeling. broke prices about 40 points during the morning, bringing May New York only 50 points over July. The contracts apparently went into trade channels because in the after noon the market recovered its loss on cov- erng by early sellers. Texas had lots more rain, which was not needed. and will delay farm work. New Orleans wired that the spnners were inquiring for cot ton to meet present requirements, and that the spots were firm with basis advancing. The finals averaged 10 points over the previous close. Spots were generally un- changed to 10 higher, with demand good at all points. Purchases of October on reactions look the best.-S. R. Stewart & Co.
