NEW YORK, April 1.-The Suns cot
ton review says:
Cotton opened to points higher. but
reacted and declined 2 to points. clos
ing steady, with sales OF 10000 bales
To-day's features: The Liverpool cables
were better than had been expected,
and prices here opened slightly higher
but the close showed & small decline
for tie day. The speculation was tame
and featureless and the movement oil
prices was not very decided either way
The receipts at the ports were light, the
estimate for New Orleans tomorrow
was small. the exports from the ports
were considerably larger than receipts
and the interior receipts were not large
by any means.
Cincinnati received only 304 bales.
