THE COTTON MARKET.
(By Wire to the Mornlna Star.)
New York, Men. 12. 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,

THE DRY GOODS MARKET.
(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.

THE RICE MARKET.
(By Wire to the Morning Star.)
New York, Mch, 12. 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.

To the Voters at the Forth
coming Primary :
I Hereby Announce My Candidacy for
the Office of
MAYOR.
For the .past four years, in the ca
pacity of Alderman, I have served the
city with whatever ability I possess.
If, in the line of my duty, I have made
mistakes, it is for others, and not for
me, to judge, since no public servant
has the right to shrink from public
criticism. My record is before the
People and standing upon that record
I respectfully solicit your support and
await your verdict,
MARTIN O'BRIEN.
