New York, March 12.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: Business was more
lively in the cotton market to-day. The
Liverpool report this morning was con-
sdered to be unfavorable. futures there
being two and ne-half-siXty-fourth low
er, and the spot business small Our mar
ket opened points down in consequence,
May selling on the first CALL at csc. The
pears, AFTER the opening, renewed tnelr
attacks upon the market and prices de-
clined several points, May touching 694c.
Predictions of an overflow in the Missis-
sippi valley checked the decline, and on
short covering, prices rallied. little. May
advanced TO $685. and then sagged back
to Csc. Upon the announcement of Sec
rotary Hester's figures, which made the
movement for the week quite large, the
market stiffened again, and the close was
steady, with $3.50 bid for May. The new
crop months led the recovery, and were
strong all day. The short interest has
largely increased in the last few days,
and this should prove an element of
strength to the market"
New York March 12.-The Sun says of
cotton: 1.-The trading to-day was quiet,
and in the main of a local professional
character. Prices declined early in the
day on bearish Liverpool advices, and sell
ing for local and Liverpool account. Liv-
erpool cables reported the market there
lower for futures and spots with a small
deman for spot cotton. There was not
much pressure to sell, however, and after
fuctuating within narrow limits prices
slowly rallied, some months recovering
the early loss and advancing slightly.
The rally was due principally to reports
of high water I'm the Mississippi at Vicks-
burg and Memphis. Then, too, the crop
movement for the week was smaller than
had been expected early in the week"
