cotton TODAY. Cotton adVa ed half a dozen
points today. The Improvement. moderate

contrast with the painfully duh ana sluggish
markets we nave nau lot the past ten days
Liverpool was higher the port receipts were
light. bad weather aad floods were reported
from Arkansas and the southwest and there
was some covering by shorts in anticipation
of the Easter holidays. as the exchange will
be closed on Friday and saturday. These in
huences gave more animation TO the dealings
than has been usua. Of late. May opened at
74Jc, ana gradually C.ept up 10 754c. , he
close was steady, with G53c bid for May II
Liverpool should sympathize with the i'm
prOvment here to-day the bulls may be en-
couraged to push prices higher but until
a lively demand from American spnners
shall make itself felt we fear that any adj
VI e that may occur will be only temporary.

high prices for cotton it must be on the merits
