New York, March 5.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton "A decline of three-sixty-
fourths in the Liverpool market this
morning was regarded as more than an
adequate response to our break of yester-
day, and prices here were to Z points
down at the opening. May sold, on the
first call at $3.50, which proved the lowest
figures of the day. The fluctuations after
the opening were lively, and twice COW
cred range of several points Consider
able uneasiness, both here and in Liver
pool, over the warlike aspect of affairs
in the Leyant was the most depressing
influence of the day. The announcement
of Secretary Hester's figures, making the
movement for the week more than was
expected, resulted in only a momentary
weakness. In the last hour heavy foreign
buying orders turned the tide in favor Of
the bulls, and the market closed firm at
the top with &c bid for May Should the
political outlook in Europe become more
favorable, we think to-days Improvement
in price will continue"
New York, March 5.-The Sun says Of
cotton: There was more disposition to
buy than to sell to-day, and after a slight
decline at the opening, due to sympathy
with the depression in Liverpool, the mar
ket here rallied and advanced. prices clos
ing firm at about the highest point of the
day The trading was mainly local, but
included moderate buying and selling for
Liverpool and southern account. The re-
ceipts at the ports and the interior towns
for the week were large Liverpool was
lower both for futures and spots. and the
spot markets in this country were quiet,
and in some instances, easier; but on the
other hand the exports from the ports
were heavy The estimates for New Or
leans and Houston tomorrow were small,
and there was no pressure to sell here,
so that prices were easily advanced on a
local demand for long account, together
with covering Of shorts"
