NEW YORK, April 1J.-The Suns cot
ton review says:
Cotton declined / TO points, but re-
covered the loss aGd closed unchanged.
The sales were 10000 bales.
To.day's features: The decline in the
Liverpool market produced a weaker
opening here to-day. but the decline
was soon recovered. and the last prices
OF the day were unchanged from last
nights closing quotations. The rally
was due TO a report that the MISSISSIPPI
had oyernowed It's banks at Vicksourg,
though this rumor was afterwards denied.
The weekly crop and weather report
Of the Government, issued to-day, stated
that farm work was making GOOD pro-
gress and that the weather Mt the Sohth
during the week had been faforable for
af he norris
were light. while the exports for some
time past have been large, and to-day
they are again OF liberal proportions.
The interior receipts were small zine
total port receipts for the week are not
expected to be more than 5000 bales.
