The cotton market, al though rather quiet, displayed considerable steadiness nt the opening this morning, be ing Influenced by letter cablea thnu ex pected. There has apparently been no chaugc In the cotuui situation so far aa trade condl- tlona and the demand from spinners for raw material l» concerned. The output of the mills Is engaged for she next six months at good prices, with Indications of advances In many Instances. That a greater quantity of goods Is not be ing told la due to the Inability of the mills, now running at full time, to ftirulsb goods In larger quantities. Last week better prices ruled and sentl ineut was bullish on the cotton and cotton goods situation, the close on Saturday l»clng steady at about the l»est prices of the week, with the trade expecting a continuance at least of the steady undertone mid. If any thing, a tendency toward a higher level un til the guess by the government, to be is sued on next Tuesday. On Monday there waa a sudden reversal of sentiment as to prices—thnt Is, nn ap parent concerted movement among opera tors to depress prices was started, the ori gin of which could uot l*e traced, though ihe selling was attributed to Joe Hoadley and Tbeo Price by Inside brokers. Whether true or not, there was confident selling Monday, a sharp decline bedng recorded. The Influence In favor of the Wall slrcet clique waa the estlmtae of the New Orleans Tinea-Democrat, placing the crop at 12,450,- 000 bales, Which, while not overnroductlvc If the figures were considered, (he actual slae of tiie crop had the desired effect. In that It was considered by the trade to menu t« crop of 13.000,000 hales or more, com pa ring the guess with previous guesses from that source. Prices on lost Saturday were the highest, the lowest Rising on Thursday, though Thursday's prices were only 2 to 4 points below the bottom figures of Tuesday.
