The close was at the low est. with the general market closing «»sy at net decline of 11 to 30 points. The market opened steady at a de cline of 9 to 20 points under a contin uation of yesterday’s selling movement and In sympathy, with relatively easy Liverpool cable.-.. The offerings were pretty well absorbed around the initial figures, with the market firming up shortly after the call on covering or erbuying, which was promoted by con tinued favorable erports from the cot ton goods markets and expectations of' bullish week end figures. The advance extended) from 30.58 for March to 30.95, while July sold up from 29.85 to 30.21 and October from 26.43 to 26.73. This made no gains of 16 to 25 points as compared with last night’s close, but the bulge brought in a renewal of real izing for over the week end, and while the weekly statistics were bullish, prices were easier in the late trading on reiterated reports of a slower spot demand in the south. Old crop months were relatively easy on this break, with March selling off to 30.55 and July to 29.80 or 20 to 28 points net lower. The new crop months which had been sold a little more freely earlier in the week were sustained to some extent •by covering' but October declined to 26.41 or 11 points net lower. Later af ternoon advices from the southwest said that buyers were indifferent and that it was more difficult to sell spot cotton, and somewhat similar reports were received from Georgia. A good many private advices reached here from the south during the day em phasizing the mild weather of the ear lier winter, as likely U> mean large emergence of boll weevil this spring. ,, Closing High March ..30.95 May ....81,16 July .30.24 October ....26.73 December ...26.22 Low 30.55 30.70 29.80 26.41 25.80 Bid 30.55 30.70 29.80 26.41 25.80 NEW ORLEANS COTTON -NEW ORLEANS, March 9.—Another Irregular market developed in cotton hday with new crops months stronger than the old, reversing the usual order >f things October displayed resistance to selling pressure throughout the ses sion and this was quite enerally set iown to straddle operations, the long ind of which rested in that month. Dur ng the greater part of the day there tvas no decided trend, prices moving from small declines, to small advances, iut in the late trading the most pro lounced down turn of the session ;ame about. Closing prices were at ibout the lowest levels, showing new osses of 30 to S3 points, new crops naking the small declines. May closed it 30.27 cents a pound after trading as ow as 30.25 and October closed at 25.97 ifter trading as low as 25.92. The early session brought declines >f 8 to 16 points, mainly as the result >f poor cables. The weather over the aelt was considered favorable, being Iry and fairly warm, but the barometer ines spelled rain to most observers and buying on this put prices to net ad vances of 2 to 16 points. After an ither small break another rally occurr ed, and late in the morning prices were it their best at net advances of 10 to !9 points. May standing at 30.68 and October at 26.29. This rally was mainly due to the iulllsh week end statistics, mill taking* jeing 194,000 bales against 184,000 this week last year, while the visible supply )f American cotton decreased 9o,9o2 jales for the week against a decrease his week last year of 66,805, reducing he visible to 2,459.031 bales against 1.605,097 a year ago.

There are two main causes which, may be assigned to this selling, first the attractiveness of the price devel for taking profits and, sec ond, reports, of an easier spot basis in eastern and western sections of* the beThere was a good class of buying during a portion of the day which gave prices a sharp rally but early buyers met with disappointment when a con siderable number of contracts came on the market during the afternoon.^. . Spinners' takings for the week were commented upon favorably. Further more. Liverpool quotations were re garded as showing confidence. The for warding of American cotton from Llv ^pool to Manchester ran down'to 29.000 bales as against 83.000 last week and the same number the same .week last year, which may be taken to Indicate either fair stocks of American cotton in the hands of Manchester spinners or reduced requirements. There Is a tendency In the cloth market to erase prices as futures run down which can not3 he looked upon with the best of favor because if traders there were fullv confident adverse fluctuations would be Improbable. Unless some thing not now anticipated develops overnight tomorrow's market may wit ness a continuation of the Downward revision of prices. ORVIS BROTHERS AND COMPANY. LIVERPOOL COTTON.

V* NEW YORK BONDS. NEW YORK, March 9.—Fresh buying power was again lacking and bond prices generally were lower in today’s relatively quiet dealings. Bond deal ers reported that the weakness was due in part to the competition for in vestment funds provided by the large amount of new security offered since the first of the year. Some of the sell ing also was believed to be traceable to liquidation by investors who are in need of funds to meet their income tax payments. . ... United States government bonds, with the exception of the victory 4 Vis which were unchanged, lost ground, the losses ranging from 4 to 8 cents on 6100. For eign bonds were firm, Japan 4%s ad vancing 1 Vi points andi Belgian 8s 1. Railroad mortgages failed to respond to publication of further favorable car loadings and earnings reports, most of the active liens receding fractionally. New York, Westchester and Boston 4%s advanced. Industrial liens gener ally were weak, Cerro de Pasco 8s, and general Electric 5s dropping. - Colorado industrial 6s advanced. Total sales, par value, were 69,482,000. SEA ISLAND COTTON.
