New York, March 2S.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: after week of fevertsh f1uc-
tuatiops. May cotton closed to-day at 761c
bid, precisely the price at which it closed
week ago. Liverpool was lower and the
opening price for May was 7.5oc, but the
same commission house, whose buying
caused the rise yesterday, was again an
active buyer, and sellers became t1mid,
prices gradually hardened until May sold
at 763c. AT that point the demand slack
ened and May closed 2 points below the
highest with the tone steady. After the
close prices were easier The weather at
the south during the past week mas Deen
favorable for planting and the movement
of the crop has been on very liberal
scale. The outlook can hardly be called
favorable to the bulls, and that the price
of cotton for future delivery has been
maintained so well, has been due to al
most entirely the covering of short con-
tracts, out of fear of possible manipula-
tons by the prominent operators, whose
recent prediction of SIC for August cot
ton, was a pleasing though transitory SEN
But this operator has been among the
sellers at every bulge during the past
week and the house that has now as
sumed the role of bull leader lacks the
prestige and the following to make its po-
sition formidable to the bears One thing
seems certain, spinners. in the face of the
prospect of a record-breaking crop next
fall are not going to buy at present prices
or to consume a bale beyond their abso
Lutte requirements, and we fear that as
the season advances holders will find them
selves compelled to make concessions. We
shall probably have lively fluctuations un-
I'll we hear more about the outlook for
the new crop; but upon every advance we
would rather sell cotton than buy it
New York, March 2S.-Clapp & Co. say
OF cotton: THE planting season has be-
gun in Texas and will likely continue
INTO May or the coming six weeks in
more eastern cotton states. All our ad-
vices indicate a greatly increase acre
age, and decreased acreage to be planted
IN corn, and an increase of about 331s to
80 per cent. in the use OF fertilizer over
1884 One firm in Tennessee writes us:
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia will not
raise such a large crop of corn, but put
every available acre in cotton. Never
