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: . COTTON.

But be 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.

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. DltY GOODS.

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. Total sales par value $5,595,000.

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.
