Cotton contin ued quiet today but ruled a little high er with the close steady at a net ad vance of 4 to 5 points. The market opened steady at an advance of 1 to points in response to slightly better cables than expected, and increased and scattered covering, with prices at one time showing a net gain of about I to 7 points. There seemed to be considerable, cotton for sale every point up, with some of the local pro fessionals inclined to attribute the of ferings to leading bull interests. This checked the upward movement during the afternoon, but the selling did not become aggressive enough to cause much of a reaction in the late day. The improvement was in the face of fair rains in the Southwest, but the precipitation reported was slight, and there is now talk that too much rain in the Eastern belt is delaying new crop proportions. Today's map show ed nearly five inches of rain at Mont gomery. Possibly the tone of the market was helped a little during the afternoon by reports that China had been buying cotton goods, with pur chases the last day or two estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, but it is supposed that this business was closed at concessions. Local spot people re port very little demand from domestic J"lls, but say that spot holders ehow "ttle disposition to follow declines in tutures, and that there is a little de mand from day to day for export, southern spot markets officialy re Ported were generally unchanged. ales of futures were estimated at 75, "00 bales.

(By Wire to the Morning 8tar.) New York, Mch. 12. The dry goods market was quiet for the day. Sales of about 10,000 bales of cotton goods are reported for China shipment. At the very low prices current it is re ported that sales of yarns have in creased in the past few days. The lo cal wool market is very quiet. Job bers continue doing a moderate busi ness In wash goods, dress goods, silks and ready-to-wear fabrics. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW (By Wire to the Morning Star.) New York, March 12 Nothing strik ing has developed in the way of chan ges in 4 prices in the cotton market during the past week. The sluggish ness of tirade and speculation has been against this market. So have rains in Texas, even if the drought in that State has not really been thoroughly broken. The tariff agitation, the de pression In iron and steel, and the fear of industrial contests growing 6ut of lower metal prices and of the cut ting of wages, have also been factors inimical to a rise in prices. Apparently, too, the South is not so seriously impressed with conditions in Texas or with the fear of possible ravages by boll-weevil east of the Mississippi during the coaming season that it is moved to buy at all freely. The crop movement is not exactly slim either, and believers in a crop about - as large as any ever raised think that events are justifying such faith. , Moreover there have been re ports that Lancashire would at least temporarily adopt short time. On the other hand, however, the price of raw cotton is considered cheap and anoth er big crop is thought necessary to meet the wants of the consumptive world. And ahead of the trade are the chances and dangers of the grow ing season. W,all Strtet houses of late have been in some case buying on all declines and whether large spot interests have lightened their load somewhat or not, they are believed to ba still heavily committed to the bull side and to be ready to fight a decline. Chicago operators in some instances have also been buying of late. At times during the week there has been a good spot business at New York and at various points in the South.. Ex ports are liberal and as soon as the way is cleared for it, there seems ev ery prospect of "a large consumption. At least this is the judgment of a very considerable proportion of the cotton trade. On Friday Liverpool was un expectedly steady and its spot sale.3 were quite liberal. (By Wire to the Moraine Star.) New York, Mch. 12. The rather aimless drift of prices of stocks turn ed upwards today, after an uncertain period of backing and filling. Deal ings expanded also slightly over yes terday's low level for the year. For the first hour business gave promises of an even lower activity than yester day, but in the second hour there was some revival, a good proportion of the day's total business being done in that hour. The meagre speculation cen tered in Reading and was based ap parently on the labor outlook. The movement in the general list was lit- .tle more than one of sympathy with jthat in Reading. The chance for any revival of stock market activity un til the tariff legislation is out of the way is considered poor. This pros pect gives a languor to all the move ments in the market and was reflected in the way the advance ran out today. There is some fear that the tariff bill, when it comes from the committee next week, may contain some surpris es that will prove disagreeiable to those interested in the industries af fected. The broad intimation of a probable abolition of the duty on iron ore weakened the certificates of par ticipating in the iron and ore proper ties of the Great Northern Railway to day. From time to time there is a movement in a special security based on supposed information of the duty to be imposed on some commodity, but the details of the new bill seem to be pretty well guarded and no great confidence is professed in alleged in formation. The rebound in Erie on the denial of yesterday's rumors of a receivership was a factor in the mo derate strength of stocks. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, were $2,758,000. United States 2s coupon declined 1-8 per cent, on call. Total sales today were 337, 000 shares. Western Union 65 3-4 Westinghouse" Electric Co..... 76 3-1 NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.

The feature of the rice market for the past week has been the speculative buying., of fancy Honduras, presumably, for Sou thern account, these lots being shipp ed away. Practically all the available rice at 6 cents was cleaned up, prices here being relatively lower than at New Oreans. Local distributors tak ing the cue, entered the market ac tively for the first time in weeks, ab sorbing both Honduras and Japans, the country taking the article for cur rent needs. Jobbers, in turn, seeing j their stock moving, have been more j willing to pay list prices of Southern mills but report offers raised l-4c in some cases. The local stocks are still ample for requirements, but show poorer assortments, especially medi um and fancy Honduras. The compar ative cheapness of Japans for this rea son is attracting more attention from the trade. PORT MOVEMENT.
