New York, March s0.--Riordan & Co.
hesitatirg speculation, cotton closes to-
day with a moderate but healthy advance
and with a marked increase of confidence
among the bulls. August opened at 6.2Sc,
and advanced to 6.3Oc, closing 629a6.S Oc.
with the tone very steady. The improve
ment is based upon the more favorable
reports from the foreign markets. which
have received N impetus from the cessa-
ton of hostilities In China and from the
rapid advance of silver. The tidings from
Manchester are especially encouraging
showing more activity and buoyancy in
the trade than has been known there for
a long time. The feature of the market
here Is the exceptional strength of May
deliveries, resulting from the persistent
accumulation of contracts for that month
'Dy a Single iCdullS mousse. very inherent
views are entertained of the probable
outcome of this squeeze of May Many
look upon it as the beginning of a cor
ner" which will finally compel those who
are short Of May to settle their contracts
on the best terms their antagonist will be
willing to grant: others, however ridicule
the idea of a corner that has been adj
vertised for so many weeks in advance
and say that there will be no lack of cot
ton to supply all demands in May
Whether this be true or not May Is now
the dearest month OF the present crop
season and shows no tendency to weaken
corner ~ rive ms higher prices for cett sny
AS the spring advances, we believe that the
market will gradually improve under the
ignmutable law of supply and demand
Meantime there will doubtless be plenty
Of fluctuations, but we advise purchases
Of cotton upon every depression"
