small speculation. .Everybody was waiting
for somethfhg~to turn up. New Orleans
estimate for Monday was 7,000 to 9,000 vs.

does not sound very bullish by any

997, Including various, vs. 33,677 last week
and 20,599 last year. Today they are es
timated at 10.000 to 12,000 vs. 8,936 last
week, and 7,741 last year. Spot cotton here
was dull and unchanged. Liverpool was
unchanged on spot sales of 10,000, futures
declined Vi point on distant months and
closed steady. Interior receipts fur the
week are estimated at 44,000 vs. 30,281 last
year. New Orleans receipts for the com
ing week are estimated at 40,000, and
ports 110,000 to 116,000. Houston received
4.231 vs. 1,894. Trade in cotton goods is
unsatisfactory, and during the past week
some descriptions have been reduced in
price. R. G. Dun & Co. says the market
is more Influenced by the certain over
supply for the next elx months than by
the possible shrinkage in yield next fall.
As the market for goods is dull here
and abroad, the fact that visible stocks
of American are larger than in 1892 at
date, justifies the expectation that sup
plies carried over will be large. The
world’s visible supply Is now 4.826,405 vs.
4,443,W0 last year, and 4,720,872 In 1892. Of
the above, 4,496,845 are American, against
3,906,802 a year ago, 4,248,372 in 1892. The
Chronicle states that Northern spinners
have thus far taken 1,644,808 vs. 1,126,682.
The quantity brought in sight last week
was 102,595 vs, 89,648 last year. Total In
sight 8,250,826 vs. 6,626,015. Receipts at
the ports for the week were 91,807 vs. 82,t
891. Exoorts from the ports thus far this
season, ’5,039.507 vs. 3,972,871 last year. The
Chronicle states that the weather at the
South during the past week has been
generally warmer. Unless receipts fall
off sharpfy prices must decline. Trade is
too dull, speculation too stagnant and
supplies too liberal to warrant any ad-
vanis nf Importance at this stage of the
proceedings.

OUTirBERT'S COTTON LETTER.
New York. Feb. 23.—(Special.)-Spec-
dilution In cotton was resumed today
but. as might have been expected, few
cared to Increase their Interests one
way or the other, and what business
was dene was confined among the pro
fessional board room traders, who tried
to scalp each other of the few points
which prices fluctuated. No new
feaitures in the cotton situation were
developed in Liverpool. While our
markets were closed yesterday, prices
for -botti spots and futures ruled quiet
and steady at unchanged quatat one,
and this morning’s cables showed no
change, our market open-tl where it
loft off Thursday n'ght. After the call
prices advanced 2 points, with light
trading, all of which, however, wis
subsequently lost, -the market finally
closing quiet and barely steady at
Thursday's quotations. There wis
absolutely nothing to Infuse any life
In the speculation and few operators
outside of the professional traders d'd
anything. As the season advances and
more definite idea of the size of the
crop can be obtained as well as the
probable acreage of the new crop, ths
speculation is likely to become more
active, In wh'ch case sharper ami more
frequent fluctuations will ensue. Until
then 1t Is hardly likely that there will
be much change In prices either way,
as the heirs are not dispos’d to In
crease -tthch- short Interests at the pre
vailing tow prices, while on the other
hand would-be buyers are apprehen
sive that the receipts will increase.

‘KH SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
New York, Feb. 23.—The Sun's Cotton
Review says:
Cotton efivanced 2 to 3 points, but re-
srt-t toward the close end ended barely
sternly at about Thursday night's prices.
Shies, ia,960 tales. New Orleana declined
point, but recovered this -and advanced
point. The New Orleans receipts on
Monday are estimated at 7,000 to 9,609,
against 1,511 last Monday and 2.708 last
year. The port receipts here yesterday
were 15,997 last Including ‘‘various.''
against 83,677 last week and 20,699 last
year. Today there were 12,199, against
9.242 last Saturday and 9,132 last year.
Spot cotton here was dull and unchanf-
Llverpool was unchanged on the
spot, with sales of 10,000. Futures there
declined Vial point on ths distant months
and closed steady. The Interior receipts
for the week ere estimated at 44,COO,
against >2.239 last year. New Orleans
receipts for 'the coming week are esti
mated at 16.600 and the ports at 110,000
to 119,000. Tho world’s visible supply is
now 4.328,046, against 4,436,002 a year ago
and 4.720.972 In 1992. Of the above. 1.196,645
bales ure American, against 1,960,902 a
year ago, and 4,213,272 In 1892.
The New York warehouas atock Is now
142.000 bales, against 239.000, 237,000, 231.000,
116,000 and 110,000 In ths previous flvs
years.
Today’s Features—A slight rles took
place sa a result of • little local cover
ing by room operators. Next week the
receipts are expected to be large and most
of ths advance lost NKre today. Besides,
the trading was very light. Everybody
Is walling to sea vrhat some other per
son will do. In the meantime, speeu-
tlon amounts to scarcely anything. The
pries Is low: Texas ports are Urge; the
consumption U enormous, but something
seems to stimulate the market.

[Special Correspondence.]
New Yobk, Feb. 31.—Tho recent
Bale of The Press of this city to Henry
L. Einstein, n rich manufacturer, at a
price variously estimated at from $300, -
000 to $300,000, renews pnblio interest
in the groat New York daily newspa
pers and their otvnors. The Press was
started some ten years ago, with James
Phillips ns the prinoipal owner and
Robert P. Porter ns editor. The now ed
itor is Congressman Lemuel E. Qaigg, a
young man of decided jonruallstio tal
ents.
The Sun and The Herald.
Tho Sun is tho oldest of the morning
papers, having been established as a 1
cent (commonly called n penny) papor
by Benjamin H. Day, a practical print
er, in September, 1833. It passed
through diverse changes, having for
many years been ovrnod by Moses Y.
Boach, who was generally regarded ns
its founder. In 1808 Charles A. Dana,
who bad been credited for two years
with trying to set up a new daily hero,
bought The Sun. Ho had had a good
deal of trouble in raising the monoy for
tbe enterprise and was liberally aided
by Thomas Hitchcock, n follow Swodon-
borgian; tho Into Marshall O. Roberts
and others. At tho ontsot ho had in
tended to start an entirely now papor,
but learning that Tho Sun was for salo
ho purchased it, behoving this to bo liiB
best course. Ho has stamped it with his
own individuality and is now its prin
cipal ownor and controller, having grad-
jltry; nor.a and country
produce.
