New York May 1.-THE cotton market
opened at a decline OF 4 10 points follow
ing unsatisfactory cables and generally
favorable crop accounts at hand while the
first call was proceeding. Following the
call the market ruled irregular, but for
the most part In buyers favor, prices fur
ther declining 6 TO . points. The market
was finally steady at a net loss Of 4di3
points, chiefly on the near positions under
weaker ruling Of spot cotton that has
been apparent here for some time past
There was several feeble rallies but in
the main the undertone was weak. later
cables falling 20 AFFORD support and later
crop advices showing favorable average
conditions for the rapid development Of
the crop. The fact that the Liverpool mar
kot closed az a decline Of 2-Gid for the day
was distinct disappointment.
