| New York, May 1.-THE cotton market
| opened steady at an advance of 9a5 points
| with subsequent variations unlmportant
and the market finally was steady at a.
net gain of Sdl4 points. Total sales of fu-
lures, $500. Selling was restricted by
conflicting crop accounts, following recent
reports by the agricultural department in
dicating cold and wet weather in various
sections of the cotton belt as retarding
the development of the plant.
Another drawback TO business has been
| the rapid rise in the tributaries of the
! Mississippi river. These conditions have
led to considerable buying for short ac-
count, but Investment trading has been
| slack
