New York, April 9.-The cotton market
opened steady at an advance of 2d3 points,
following a better class of cable news
than had been expected, and to some en-
tent influenced by early rumors of bids
for large lots of spot cotton by exporters
Local shorts were active buyers, and out
side speculation showed more energy than
has been seen here for some time. Tbs
market closed quiet at a net decline of
points to a net advance of 4 points, with
total sales of 10000 bales

New York. April 9.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: 1.-THE cotton market
was somewhat more lively to-day large
spot sales at higher prices encouraged the
bulls. Liverpool this morning cabled an
advance of LA there and our market
opened about 8 points higher In sympathy.
Europe and the south sent large orders
to sell the next crop, shortly after the
opening, and prices declined several
points. But the weather conditions in the
south continue unavoidable and when the
selling orders had been filled, the market
had a good rally. Part of the advance
was lost on realizing sales. April opened
at 7OSc. declined to lose, advanced TO
712c. and closed at 1890. Considering the
present planting outlook, we regard short
sales as anything but prudent venture.
