NeW York, March 9.-Riordan e. Co. say
OF cotton: "A week ago we said that all
/ the chances favored the buyer of cotton
We are of the same opinion to-day. There

sharp ones, but we believe that il will
7 pay TO buy cotton upon every break Re
celpts continue on large scale, but they
/ seem to be losing much of their power as
a depressing influence Traders are now
/ looking 10 the coming crop, and are much
less inclined than hitherto TO deride the
threatened reduction of acreage. The
market to-day was more buoyant than it
has been for months. May opened at
I Doc and advanced during the two hours
/ of trading to 5.Sac. The close was strong
short interest in May against purchases
by some of the leading houses on the ex-
change. and the bears attribute the I'M
/ usual demand to the efforts of parties
Z who are short of May to cover their
l sales. The more rapid advance of Nav
l deliveries are compared with later months
( would seem to lend color to this view
| The Improvement in the market has now
! reached about 40 points from the lowest.
as to the cause of the advance there is
hardly two opinions; it is due solely to
the increased apprehension in the trade
that the general reduction of cotton
acreage is going to be something more
than a threat. If the hope of higher
prices should, at the eleventh hour. lead
4 the south to recede from it wise resolve
to cut down the production of cotton to
so large an extent as to make II only a
surplus or money crop, the temper of the
market would quickly change. and quota.
lions would drop lower than ever The
! southern farmers now have the control
/ of prices absolutely in their own hands
and il is because we do not think them
/ foolish enough TO throw away their OBJ
/ portunity, that we have faith in the ad-
/ vance"
