New York, April 2.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: The temper of the cot
ton market changed again to-day and
prices were a little higher. The last
hour of trading was marked by more ami
nation than has been visible for some
time. This morning Liverpool cabled a
decline of one sixtyfourth in that market,
but the dispatch was without effect on
prices here and our market opened two
points above the close of yesterday. After
the opening the south was again a seller
of the next crop months and for time
the market was heavy. The weakness was
short lived, however, and good buying by
New Orleans and covering by local shorts
sent prices upward The close was steady
at the top. May opened at 6.99c, declined to
6Tc, advanced to 7.02c, and closed 7.010
702c.
'The movement for the week was liberal
but attracted no attention. The situa
ton in the flooded districts is not improv-
ed. We expect higher prices"
New York, April 2.-The Sun says of
cotton: THE improvement at the open
ing to-day was trifing, owing to the dull
ness of the speculation The principal
factor in the rise was the flood in the
Mississippi valley. New Orleans bought
here on a small scale, the receipts at the
ports and the interior towns were light
the exports from the ports continue lib
eral and the spot markets firm and fairly
active, and but for the stagnation of the
speculation, the rise to-day would doubt
less have been greater. The fluctuations
in prices were confined within a narrow
range, and the closing quotations were
practically unchanged from the opening
figures"
