MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, March 31-(Special.)-The cot
ton market was lively today. Liverpool was
only a trihe higher, but our market after
opening at about yesterdays closing prices
became very firm and advanced half a
dozen points. The rise was generally be-
lieved to have been manipulated with
view of forcing the weaker shorts to cover.
However, this may be, there certainly was
a great deal of short covering during the
day, but In the last thirty minutes the mar
ket gave way and nearly all the improve
ment was lost. May opened at 7.64, adj
vanced to III and closed at TIC bid, with
the tone easy We can see nothing to
change our opinion that in spite of occa-
sional rallies, the general tendency of
prices is likely to be downward.
