New York. April 20.-The trading in cot
ton to-day resulted in a net gain of l to
points. AT the best, the market showed
an advance Of 3 to points, and closed
steady at the lowest figures of the day.
At the start a generally better feeling
prevailed, owing to the comparatively
calmness with which business was re-
sumed in the London and continental mar
kets. Some of the foreign houses who
sold heavily during the first hours yester-
day. turned up as buyers at the opening.
and prices advanced ; to points. The
foreigners did not stay In the market long
and as there was no outside demand of
consequence, prices receded 1 points. IN
the afternoon rumors Of more warike con-
ditlons in Europe led to renewed selling.
and prices continued to decrease to the
close. Reports of a bad break in the
lcvees in Louisiana had little or no effect.
