NEW YORK, March 3.-Hubbard, Price & Co.
say of the cotton market: The Liverpool
market by noon to-day had advanced 2-64d
above last evenings prices. In our market the
improvement abroad had but little effect, being
offset by the continued execution of large
selling orders for Liverpool account, such or
ders being cabled over in connection with the
| arbitrage operations between Liverpool and
New York. The apathy of the New York
market reacted upon Liverpool, and the early
advance there was lost, the close being quiet
| and steady at lat nights figures. The Liver
pool orders above referred to seem to have
been about the only transactions of Importance
entered into in New York TO day. and trading
during the balance of the session up to
o clock has been very small, and the market
exceedingly dull, fluctuatiug within narrow
range of not more than 20I3 points. During
the afternoon the market was dull, and closed
steady at about last nights figures"
