New York, March 17.-Riordan & Co.
say of cotton to-day; This was a bull
day in cotton, such as the market has
not seen in a long time. The twist of
the shorts, which has been foreshadowed
for some days past, was very severe.
and continuous, there is still a large
.hort interest outstanding, and opinions
are about evenly divided this afternoon
to the Likelihood of prices being forced
still higher. Liverpool was points
lower when our market opened, and May
sold on the call points lower at 7.5Gc,
but from the first the undertone. espe-
cially in May, was firm. Liverpool soon
regained her loss, and May crept up
ward, point by point, until 1t had sold
at Tic or q points higher than the open
ing. At that figure realizing sales caused
closing at 7.6Sc bid. with the tone steady.
After the close May was freely offered
at 1850. The course Of prices tomorrow
will depend, first, upon the character of
Liverpools response, and, secondly, upon
whether the south shall decide TO buy
or to sell at the advance. The bulls now
talk of cents for May. Whether II goes
there or not, we believe that cotton will
ultimately sell much lower. and we would
rather sell than buy"
