| New York, Fec. l4.-Riordan & Co.. say
| of cotton to-day: The market to-day, while
| showing no decided tendency towards higher
| prices, was not devoid Of a certain stubborn
| strength, which was anything but encouraging
| to the bears. The decline in Liverpool caused
| lower opening here the first sales OF May
being at 7.76c. But there were more buyers
| than sellers at the decline: and prices soon
| improved. May gradually advanced until it
! had sold at 1890. Then there was a reaction
to 778c but the shorts were evidently ner-
| voUs, and, after some further huctua-
| ton, within very narrow range
the market closed very steady, with 7.30o
| bid for May After the close the feeling
was better and isle was freely bid for May
| with no sellers. Unless Liverpool should
| give US another setback tomorrow. the
chances are that we shall be higher. But
| with the present 0isheartening condition Of
| trade, we fear that no material aud lasting
! improvement can take place, and we advise
| our friends who are long TO take advantage Of
| every good rally 10 secure any profits that
may be in sight. The port receipts to day
| were very light, though more than the very
| small total received this day last year. But
| the feeling is growing that il will require
| something more than light receipts 10 give US
such a rise as we had hoped for before spring
| Trade is too staguant and there is too much
