The Morning- News Office,
Tuesday, March 12.
Nothing of interest developed in local
uaile ciroles to-day, and the closing did
not show very matcriul changes in any
of the leading branches. The New York
cotton futures market closed barely
steady at a decline of 1 to 6 points. The
local spot market closed dull and easy
end nominally unchanged. A reaction is
still looked for in the futures market,
hut with the yielding tendency of spots
and the continued liberal movement to
the ports, it is not likely the downward
course will be effectually checked while
these conditions continue.
The spirits market closed Arm and un
changed at 37c, with the demand light,
tid little business being transacted. There
was no change in rosins, which ruled
firm throughout the day on a light de
mand from all sources. The New York
stock market showed fome strength dur
ing the early session, but eased off later
under pretty general profit-taking as a
result of ihe advances which have been
made during the past few days In many
quarters of the market. The wholesale
blanches continue steady. The following
i t Mime of the different markets will show
tiie tone and quotations at the closing to
day: .

fore 2 p. m. a steady undertone obtained
and somewhat hasty local shorts turned
for profits. This buying resulted in a
sharp rise in May to 8.38 c, with other
months proportionately higher. Trading,
in a spasmodic way, was active. On, the
upturn, foreign interests, chiefly German,
bought July and August. There also was
some demand from commission houses,
though investment speculation, as a
whole, was indifferent. In the last hour
the market showed considerable strength,
and a number of large conservative bears
covered fully in anticipation of a sharp
reaction in Liverpool to-morrow. The
close was barely steady, with prices net

H. & M. Beer's Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, La., March 12.—Liverpool
spots were easier at l-16d lower and de
liveries also declined more than looked
for in consequence of straddles and heavy
offerings from America. Our market re
sponded by opening 7 points lower, sold
off 3 additional on the large port re
ceipts and the weakness existing in spots.
Subseqnelty a reaction from 9 to 10 from
the bottom was established by shorts cov
ering, but as soon as the demahd was
supplied values eased off again, closing
2 points lower bn old crop positions and
unchanged to 3 higher on the hew. The
principal Southern spot markets reported
an easier tendency, and in many places
prices were marked down 1-16 to %. The
semi-weekly receipts are estimated at 35,-
000, against 24,000 last year, and the loss
In the stock points to only 3,000, against
a decrease of 13,000.
Our Augusta, Ga., correspondent wires
that the Sutherland Mills there closed
down to-day indefinitely. Spurts aro to
be expected from time to time, and the
realisation of these under present condi
tions places the market in a weaker
position because the short interest is re
duced constantly by this process. With
the increased receipts the general anxiety
of holders to sell and the unsatisfactory
textile trade condition prevalent through
out the world, it will be a hard matter
to occasion any decided advance. The
chances are rather against higher prices,
and the probabilities are values will grad
ually seek a lower level.
Murphy A Co's Cotton Letter.
New York, March 12.—Cotton in Liver
pool closed at the lowest of the day spots
l-16d down, futures 3 to 4-64d under yes
terday. The decline was attributed to
liquidation and bear sales. This market
ruled feverish during forenoon on liberal
selling Southern account and buying by
Liverpool, New Orleans and local shorts.
After declining about ten points on the
active months, a recovery of about 10
points took place. Due to covering by
Western shorts, who have been promi
nent sellers for the past week or so. Port
receipts continue liberal, particularly the
Texas movement, and reports from that
section indicate that the movement will
be free for the next week or so as hold
ers have sold rather freely for the past
few days. Estimated port receipts, 26,000
against 15,000. New Orleans expects to
morrow 5,500 to 6,500, against 11,208; Hous
ton 9,000 to 10,000, against 1,620.
Ilubbnril Bros. A Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, March 12.—1n Liverpool the
pressure to sell against Southern ship
ments continues as that remains the
highest market. Importers are anxious
sellers upon the lowest basis for spots as
compared with arrivals we have had for
years. This pressure caused another de
cline abroad and corresponding weakness
here.Commlsslon houses advised their cus
tomers to take piortts which brought
about a reaction which was subsequently
lost on the posting of the estimates for
Houston receipts. These reactions tend to
check the accumulation of a short Inter
est, but do not attract any investment
demand. Advices from Fall River and the
goods market point to a curtailment of
production in the hope of stimulating the
demand. This being a trade decline and
not the result of a liquidation of a bull
speculation it presents, as characteristic,
a heavy market.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Mnrket Spotty and Unsettled on
Profit-Taking.
New York, March 12.—The market con
tinued spotty to-day and largely made
up of the operations of professional trad
ere in individual stocks. Many of these
operations were based on causes peculiar
to the stocks affected and the traders
professed to be following the leadership
of insiders in the stock in their buying.
However this may be, it was evident
that purely speculative operations play
ed a large part In the day's dealings, as
realizing sates came into evidence in
every case where a considerable advance
was made, resulting in sharp declines.
There was more or less realizing going
on all day, the sustaining influence of
the strength of special stocks being avail
ed of to take profits in the general list.
The result of this is seen in ithe net
losses prevailing here and there, some of
them in important stocks.
The principal feature of the news of
the day was the excellent traffic returns
of the railroads. Especially the South
westerns, the bituminous coal carriers
and some of the Southern roads showed a
targe increase in their gross earnings
over those of the corresponding week of
last year. The session of the miners' con
ventions was perhaps the cause of the
dullness, and slight heaviness in the an
thracite coal group, although confidence
was expressed tlmt no strike was to be
feared.
The continued low rate for call loans
neutralized the effect of the depletion of
the cash reserves of the banks by rea
son of the drain to the sub-treasury and
the growing demands from the interior.
The heavy decline In cotton exports helps
to explain the recent firmness of sterling
exchange. A number of the Important
movements of the day were In the stocks
of minor railroad companies and rumor
was busy with stories of projected con
solidations to account for these advances.
The Harrimon syndicate figured in these
rumors as the active agent in many of
the alleged consolidations. This was true
of the Toledo, St. Louis and Western
stocks, the common rising 4%, the Wis
consin! Central stocks and the lowa Cen
tral stocks, the common of which roHe 8%
and the preferred 5%. St. Louis and San
Francisco (first preferred advanced 2, the
second preferred 244 and the common 4%
on persistent stories of refunding pro
jects or of absorption into a consolida
tion of the Gould Southwestern roads.
The upward movement jn Pennsylvania
was apparently prompted by the annual
meeting and the reports made to stock
holders. The stocks of express compan
ies, which have been, dormant, advanced
sharply over the last quotation, Ameri
can Express risirg 3 and losing it. United
States Express 414 and 'Adams Express
14%. The strength in Tobacco was due
to a belief in benefits to accrue from re
duced taxes.
The closing was considerably unsettled
by the protit-taking.
The railroad bond market continued ac
tive and generally firm, but some of the
less active bonds yielded to some extent.

Murphy A- CX'a Stock Letter.
New York, March 12.—The stock market
opened steady, and while showing some
reappearance of Irregularity, for the most
part at a higher range of prices. The re
assuring advices respecting the settlement
of the threatened labor troubles in Penn
sylvania accounted for the rise in an
thracite shares. The granger group was
generally active, with large dealings In
Rock Island and St. Paul. The first
named was to some extent affected by the
report that no alteration will be made
in the. rate of dividend to declared later
In the week. Burlington was but little
affected by the partial denial of recent re
port that the control of the road is being
acquired in the Interests of the Great
Northern ond Northern Pacific. Northern
Pacific, declared 1 per cent, dividend on the
common stocks. Chesapeake nnd Ohio
and N. & W., notably the latter, were
again decidedly firm. American Tobacco
was particularly strong and active. Amal
gamated Copper was dealt In above yes
terday’s final level, nnd Consolidated Gas
retained the uncertain tendency It showed
yesterday. The local traction group was
again strong, with large dealings in Man
hattan and Brooklyn. Sugar was firm, as
was American Steel and Wire, notwith
standing the confusion in the dealings in
the latter stock caused by yesterday's
unexpected declaration of a dividend on
the common. The Ijoudon market for
American was firm with, however, only
slight advances showing In comparison
with the local closing level. Foreign
houses bought moderately here at open
ing of business. Virtually nothing that
was not known before the close of busi
ness yesterday was presented In this
morning’s gossip. Money closed 2 to 2VA;
last loan at 2%. Total sales, 766,500.
