New YORK, March G-R1Ordan & Co say of
cotton to-day: The market today gave
| further evidence of its unstable and changea-
Bile character. Liverpool showed further i'm
proven-ent. Our OPEN was at slightly bet
Ter prices, May selling on the call at 1900
= he interior and port reoetpts being rather
heavier than had been expected, caused many
to sell ut the advance, and prices weakened
May declining to 7.54c. When the cotton to
be sold had all teen taken a better feeling
ensded and the Local bulls began buy ng
freely, and Tor a time the market showed
great trmness, May advanced IL
points to T6lC. but the buying gave out in the
afternoon, just as the selling ha / ceased in
the morning The advance could not be held
and reaction followed. The close was
rather below the opening prices. with 75Sc
ID for May. 1t seems as II those who kuv
upon treas and sell upon rallies are pretty
sure to make proht upon every turn
