NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-After trad ing high 21 to 37 points over the level of yesterdays close and as low as 23 to 35 points under, the cotton market lower than yesterdays final prices. March rose to 27.30c, fell off to 26.72c and closed at 27.0Sc a pound. Stronger and highe- on the opening, the market spent the greater part of the day sagging from the high levels, but in the late trading put up rather spectacular display of recu- perative power.
 The opening gains carried prices to the highest of the day and were mainly the result of much better Liverpool than due. Some buying was done on more hopeful feeling regarding political con ditions abroad. this being the outcome of the British acceptance of the debt

Hubbard Bros.' Letter

NEW YORK, Feb. Especial. )-Liver- pool market was slightly better than due this morning, and consequently our mar ket opened above last nights close. There is very little buying noticeable but a strong disposition to take protits was evil dent and more long cotton came out. The market continues to act very tired and We think that a great deal more liquila- tion will have to take place before any rally will occur. On these declines limited orders for the trade on the buying eidc are filled which afford some stimulation to the market. The spot demand has con tinued rather strong in face of the decline, but if the decline in the future market continues, undoubtedly spots will weaken somewhat. If this occurs, we can look for much further setback.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

terms offered by this country. The ad- vance almost collapsed because of heavy liquidation from the long side. and as the session progressed offerings increased, coming from both sides of the market. More or less selling was done on further rains in Texas and Oklahoma. but sellers, rule, based their operations on un- favorable rumors concerning both Turkey and Germany.
 Late in the morning the market made partial recoveries on claims of a better spot demand, and also that the demand for ocean freight room for cotton was strengthening. both here and at Calves ton, but prices were lower than ever in the early afternoon. The strong recov- cry toward the close was done wholly on the rumor that Germany was asking terms of France.
