New York, April 2S-From start to fin
ish the cotton market was a disappoint-
ment to-day. At the opening near months
We're ] point higher and late months I'M
changed to 2 points lower. The market
remained quite featureless throughout the
session. Following the first call there was
an advance of 3d4 points on covering by
local traders who took alarm on account
OF the continued strength spot cotton as
compared with futures, and on reported
active demand from American spinners
and from exporters in southern markets
as well as New York Later, however
the market turned easier in the absence of
Outside speculative support and for the
rest of the session showed rather weak
undertone, selling was checked however
by continued conflicting reports from the
inundated districts. The close was quiet
at about a net advance of 3 points to a
net decline of ] point.

New York, April 23.-Riordan & Co. say
OF cotton; IAN undressing days trad
ing in the cotton market resulted in no
change in prices to-day. Liverpool seems
inclined to advance and again cabled us
favorable dispatch this morning. Con-
trary to general expectations, futures
there were one-half point higher. our
market opened quiet at slight advance,
August selling on the first call at TIC.
A few buying orders were received from
Liverpool and the south, and prices ad-
vanced still further after the opening.
August selling at 72lc; but the buying
power was soon exhausted, and the mar
ket eased again, August declined to lie
and closed at 7.1Sc to 719c, with the mar
ket quiet. The movement for the week
was moderate, but attracted no atten-
ton"
