COTTON

New York, May 31.-The cotton market
opened steady to unchanged prices with
prices ! point higher There was little
variation in prices local traders being in
disposed to take hold. inasmuch as Liver

make the crowd cautious and throughout
the forenoon business was very dull.
There was nothing in crop accounts u
have much bearing on local sentiment.
At II o'clock the market was lifeless a.
about the opening figures. Total sales for
the first hour reached but Il. 200 bales. Of
which $500 changed hands on the first
call
