New York. April 15.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: 1.-The market was al
LluSl at a SpdHuSllll lO-Nldy- 1IN0l pOOt
was a shade lower, and August opened
at TIC, receded to 770c, rallied to 7.7Sc
and closed at TIC bid with the tone
quiet. There was a good deal OF noisy
and demonstrative buying, but 1t barely
sufhced to hold the market against a
decline. A few parties are striving to
advance prices by persistent buying IN
the face of adverse conditions. So far
they have been successful only in fright
enlng off all who might be inclined to
Sell. The only chance of these buyers
unloading at a profit lies in their con-
tInuing to buy, and we shall not be sur
pr1sed if they should very soon find this
70 be a tiresome and expensive game.
New Orleans was selling spots to-day at
S-16e below quotations, and people are
beginning to ask where Liverpool is like
~ 10 carry over a million bales into next
season at loss of 81 bale"
