The expected bullish statement by El
rtfon was given out to-day. It estimates
, shortage on supplies on Sept. 1, and had
the effect of imparting considerable
s rergth both here and on the other side.
The cotton futures market closed firm at
an advance of S@ll points, due largely to
the better feeling in Liverpool, and the
buying of shorts to cover, in view of the
pretty general impression which now pre
vails that the market is ripe for a reac
j„n. laical spots rose l-16c at the close,
nhioh was quiet, with moderate sales re
ported. Good middling, f. o. b., was quiet
around 9 l-16c, with the offerings light.
The spirits turpentine market was en
tirely featureless. At both calls it was
bulletined as “nothing doing," and it was
not understood that any improvement de
veloped after the close. Rosins closed
firm and unchanged from yesterday's
prices, with a satisfactory business doing.
N,w York stocks strengthened materlal

turned for profits in to-day’s cotton mar
ket and public buying for a generous Im
provement became somewhat of a factor.
Europe was a large purchaser of the sum
mer months while New Orleans ceased
the selling pressure so long in vogue and
bought May and July cotton sparingly.
The opening was firm with prices 1 lower
to 9 points higher. Soon after the call
buying was general and very active at
a basis B@9 points above last night's fig
ures with the feeling once more bullish.
The English market was reported strong
er. Before midday the local market had
partially reacted under room profit-taking
and a slight falling off in the outside sup
port. But early In the afternoon renewed
buying for both accounts sent prices back
to about the best level of the morning with
the market thereafter tolerably firm and
fairly active. Large port and interior re
ceipts had been thoroughly discounted by
the local trade and played an unimportant
part as an influence. The Ellison estimate
for a shortage on the supplies on Sept. 1.
next, had more weight in Liverpool than
here. The market was finally firm with
prices net 8 to 11 points higher.

Hubbard Bros. & Op.'a Cotton Letter.
New York, March 14.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say of cotton; Liverpool reacted on
the publication of Ellison's circular in
which he called attention to the decrease
in the visible supply of American cotton,
visible and invisible, as compared with
last season at this time. At the begin
ning of the year the deficiency was in ex
ctss of 2,600.000 bales, but by reason of a
larger American crop a larger import of
.East Indian cotton and reduced consump
tion by the American mills, the deficient
ey has been reduced to these figures. Mr.
JCllisqn thinks the decline 4n prices since
March 1, and the disappearance of prem
iums on the immediate will stimulate the
consumption of cotton. Those views caus
ed the higher opening and the better bus
iness of the morning, but the market re
lapsed into dullness at lower quotations
when the movement appeared, and it was
realized that trade must Improve to stim
ulate consumption, not a decllnig market
which leaves every spinner with cotton
nr.d goods on hand showing a loss. The
reaction has cause,J the local trade to
cover and advocate the old policy of buy
ing on reactions.
Mtirpl)}- A Co' C olton Letter.
New York, March 14—Cotton in Liv
erpool advanced l-32d, on spots, and 2 to
3-64d, on futures and) so clased. The
rise is attributed to leadiqg shorts cov
ering on account of the Ellson’s bullish
report on the world's visible supply
March 1, on ail kinds, 600,000 bales under
a year ago, which many think is an er
ror, as his annual circular in February
only mode the deficiency 189,000 bales.
However, this news influenced liberal
buying from local shorts, prices opening
4 to 6 points over last night. There
was'reaction of 3 to 4 points throughout
.the session, but iprioes hardened to
ward the close, showing a gain of 6 to
8 points over last night. Receipts con
tinue fairly liberal, which is circulating
a speculative buying. Estimated port re
ceipts. 19,000, gainst 22,000 last year. New
Orleans expects to-morrow 6.000 to 7,000,
against 5,495; Houston, 3,000 to 3,500,
against 1,009.
H, St B. Beer’s Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, March 14.—Notwithstand
ing Mr. Ellison did issue a circular in
Liverpool, the early advices from there
were not encouraging and our market,
consequently opened 1 point lower. The
steadiness later, however, wag responded
to here by an improvement of 9010 points
from the bottom, occasioned by phort cov
ering. making the net gain on the day
9@lo points. The purport of Mr. Ellison's
circular was somewhat mixed. Some ca
bles stated that he estimated the visible
and invisible supply of American in spifi r
ners' hands on March 1 100.000 less than
last year, others construed it to refer to
the deficiency in taking up to that time.
From the facts before us they disprove
Mr. Ellison’s assertion and the probabili
ties are the takings of American will soon
exceed the logs he has allowed, and |> e
will be forced ultimately to reduce hi*
consumption of American under 10.000.(4)0,
as trade conditions In the manufacturing
product are daily growing worse, as evi
denced by the following telegram from a
prominent New York firm: "A thoroughly
well-posted dry goods friend says large
stocks of goods; cannot sell anything.
Strong probability two-thirds New Eng
land mills will close down three days In

THE RICE MARKET.
Stocks of rice are well assorted, and
j while prices are firm they are a fraction
‘■lower than the parity of primary points
South. Nearby arrivals are priced above
present rates for spot goods and this fact
contributes materially to the strength of
the market.
Advices from the South note improved
inquiry .on. the Atlantic coast, both on
milling and distributing account. Stocks
are only fair but well assorted. Factors
continue to feed the demand, being con
scious that even at less ratio of move
ment than at present, the supply will be
exhausted long before the harvest of new
crop. The So.utfiwest report exceedingly
strong conditions with good demand.
Heayy drafts tieve been made on the low
er grades for shlpmenf to Porto Rico.
The constant inquiry for these styles
has contributed greatly to the strength
of the market on other grades as well,
holders having a definite figure on which
to base valqes—quite the reverse from the
chaotic conditions of years gone by when
the strtfe seemed to be as to who could
sell their goods at the lowest possible
price; at least that was the effect of the
lack of Information and co-operation on
part of planters and millers.
Cables and correspondence from abroad
note firm markets, spot goods are near
ing the danger line of scarcity, and the
trade are waiting the advent of new crop
with Impatience. The hopes of a decid
edly lower range of values, based on the
encouraging crop reports from the Bur
nese district, have been materially modi
fied by a renewal of large purchases by
the government for famine account in In
dia. Patna sorts are in lessened supply,
especially of qualities suitable for the
United States. The amount afloat from
the Far-East to various markets is 75
per cent, less than last year.

Closing Strength Caxrlea Prices Up
Jn Many Quarters.
New York, March 14.—There was more
activity and variety 4n the last half hour
of to-day’s stock market than dur
ing any other period: of the ses
sion. A buoyant riße in the Erie
stocks, led by the second pre
ferred arui followed by the other coalers,
caused a covering movement among the
shorts ell around the room and a good
rise in prices. The bears rallied their
forces and raided stocks here and there
sufficiently lo check the udvance and un
settle the close. The advance In Erie sec
ond preferred in the filial bulge was 4%
and the other coalers rose betwen 1 and
2 points in sympathy.
The St. Paul dividend increase seemed
to fall flat on the market. The expecta
tion of the afternoon action had held the
market in check all through the day. The
stock was run up 2 points during the
morning, but when the Increase In the div
idend was announced selling to realize
wiped out all but a small fraction of the
rise. It looked as though the heaviness
in St. Paul would carry down the whole
market until the rise in the Eriee stiffened
the tone.
For the real, the market was rather dull
and narrower of late. It continued to be
characterized by the movement of the
specialties to a large extent. The
Southwestern Railroad stocks continued
in large demand on the gen
eral ground of the prosperity of that re
gion of the country, and the expectation
of a coming amalgamation of important
railroad properties there. The Wabash
securities came to the front in the move
ment and were bought on a very large
scale. Many of the minor railroad prop
erties continued unusually conspicuous on
the professed belief in their coming ab
sorption by the great systems. Several of
the subsidiary Vanderbilt lines were in
cluded in this movement to-day. Chicago,
Indianapolis and Louisvlle and New York,
Chicago and St Louis first preferred
moved up 3 points and other stocks of
those companies and Canada Southern
between 1 and 2 points. Lake Erie ant)
Western, after an early advance of a
point, broke 'two and closed unchanged.
The Minneapolis and St. Louis stocks roue
3 for the common and 2Vi for the preferred.
St. Louis and San Francisco suffered
from realizing, losing at one time 1V&.
There was large realizing going on under
cover of the points of strength and many
stocks which advanced l reacted on profit
taking during the course of the day.
Amalgamated Copper after early weak
ness turned very strong, eloping wilh a
pet gain of 1%.
■the continued ease of call money, in
spite of the calling of some loans, quieted
apprehension on the score of money rates.
Vtie calling of loans was in preparation
fyr fo-morrpw's large dividend disburse
ment*. London nought quite freely ip
this market, especially of <?hlcogo Great
Western and a cheerful tone was reported
there by reason of the belief In an early
peace in South Africa. Sterling exchange
hardened here in spite of easier money in
Ixmdon and the buying of stocks here for
London account Buying for remittance
on account of subscriptions to German
municipal loans is believed to be the cause
of the higher exchange rates.
Business in railroad bonds continued
very large, but profit-taking in the spec
ulative Issues caused some irregularity In
to-day’s price movement. Total saleß par
value 88,065,000. United States refunding
2’s, the 3’s and new 4’e advanced % per
cent on the last call.
