New York. April 22.-Both public and
private cables reflected a subsistence of
the scare of shorts in the English mar
ket, with the future list decidedly lower
and weak, under heavy liquidation. Man
chester spinners took but 1900 bales spot
cotton at Liverpool at unchanged prices,
as against 1000 bales yesterday. Futures
were irregular throughout the session, with
the close at net loss of 21zGl4 points The
local market failed to respond as expect
ed, TO the sharp slump abroad, futures
opening 3Gp4 points lower, with the market
steady at the decline. Later In the fore
noon an easier feeling prevailed under
liberal offerings by foreign representatives
and local longs, but near midday the mar
ket steadied on light investment buying
and a scarcity of sellers. Crop news av-
eraged up in favor of the bull crowd, cold
weather and lack OF moisture being COM
planned OF in many sections.
In the afternoon the focal future market
was quiet until late in the day, when
there was a sharp rally on active covering.
The market closed firm. with prices 4
points higher 20 points lower. Total
sales, 206, 100 bales.

New York. April 22.-Riordan & Co. say
Of cotton to-day: THE option market
fiuctuated fevershly to-day. but the trad
ing resulted in no important change. Tie
war is on and the opening Of hostilitles
leaving traders much perplexed as 70 what
result they will have upon prices. Liver
pool halted IN her upward movement to-
dag. Spot sales there fell Off and futures
were 2 points lower. The opening here
was to points down. Then, after a
temporary rally, heavy selling OF May
contracts by a house who Will deliver their
holdings. caused a break But buyers
were plentiful and the market rallied
again. Prices Jumped around all day,
with manipulation a prominent feature Of
the trading. August opened al G.S5e, raj
led 70 Gs6c, declined 10 enc. advanced 70
e.57c. broke 70 635c. again advanced and
closed ct 62sQ6.29c. with the tone Of the
market firm. We do not share The belief
that the war viii help the market. and
we favor selling on all good bulges."
