New York, March 9.-Riordan & Co. say
OF cotton: The bulls were cheered this
morning by a good advance in Liverpool,
and prices opened points higher. May
selling on the call at 745c. The receipts
were light. and the covering of the less
important shorts kept prices firm. May
advanced to 7.49c. and reacted to 7.46c.
n the last thirty minutes some of the
pig shorts decided to cover, and the mar
Bet at once became strong. May rapidly
advanced, and closed at 7.53c bid, with the
zone firm. After the close the demand in
creased, and there were transactions in
May at 7.56c. The market has been some
what oversold lately and the covering of
shnrts may put prices higher. but when
ever that is finished we fear that the
Improvement will melt away"
