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.

SEA ISLAND COTTOW. I'rading in the sea Island cotton market ■ ontlnuea inactive. The demand Is light from all sources. The trading being done it present is In lots dumped on the mar ket by dissatisfied holders, who seem to he willing to take the prices their cotton "hi bring. The alleged discrimination shown by the sea island syndicate against 'uvannah In favor of Interior markets is probably the strongest factor of the pres ent depression In view of the fact that pretty steady buying has been done for several weeks past in the interior mar kets at a slight advance on local prices. ” is eald the syndicate Is endeavoring to lven U P old scores with the Savannah market for putting up prices on consuls- | eis In the past. The manufacturers of s ea Island cotton have adopted the hand-to-mouth” policy of buying In 0r 11,,r to relieve themselves of the cost of arrylng large stocks.

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.

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.

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.
