however, and during the balance OF the

New York, March 1S.-Riordan & Co
say of cotton: Great dullness charac-
tefized to-day's trading in cotton. An adj
vance of one half sixty-fourth in Liver
pool this morning was construed as fav-
orabe, and the market here opened two
points higher, August selling on the first
call 6.O6c, after the opening Wall street
was moderate seller and prices eased
somewhat, August declining to 602c The
offerings were absorbed, however, by the
local short interest and in the afternoon
the loss was fully recovered, August raj
lied to 606c, and closed at 605c to 6O6c
with the tone of the market quiet and
steady. The movement for the week was
dull. Southern markets were steady
Some further development in the politi.
cal situation is anxiously awaited"
