| New York, March 4.-The net result of
| to-days dealing in cotton futures and the
scope of fluctuations was unsatisfactory
to the trade in general. After opening at
| decline of 2 points, in sympathy with
| less favorable English cables than look
ed for, there was scarcely points varia-
| ton during the entire session. Specula-
ton was chiefly of the scalping order and
| small even at that. The pronounced
| firmness of primary markets, and the con-
| tinued active export demand checked any
pressure to sell, while on the other hand,
| port receipts continued on a liberal scale
| and investment interest was very light
| There was some selling early in the ses-
sion for English and Southern houses, but
this cotton was absorbed by the stronger
| bulls and less confident shorts. At the
| close the market was quiet and steady
| At a net loss of 1G2 points Total sales,
| 70700 bales.

New York March 4.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: "The cotton market
was very dull to-day and a shade lower.
Liverpool declined one sixty-fourth This
report was considered unfavorable, and
our market opened one to two points low
/ err The demand, however, on limited or
| ders, was excellent and such selling as &C.
CURED made little further impression on
| prices. After the opening, stagnation was
| the chief feature of the day and fluctua-
tons were very narrow. The weeks move
ment was extremely heavy. May opened
at 616c fuctuated between 6.15 and 617c,
and closed at 6.16c to 6.17c. with the tone
of the market quiet and steady
Local operators are decidedly mixed on
the outlook and are much puzzled to de-
termine what direction the next impor-
tant movement will take"
