Liverpool, March 17.-The Cotton Ex-
change viii observe the Easter holidays
by closing March 81, April and g.
New York, March 1.-THE cotton mar
ket after opening steady at unchanged
prices TO a decline of points, developed
weakness under considerable selling
| pressure, in good part the result of or
! ders from Europe and the South. The
| former, according to cables, resulted from
| expectations of a much larger movement
In this country to follow the better wealth
| er in the South, which would mean i'm
| proved hauling conditions as well as maxi
| ing field work possible and Fastening the
planting season. To-day's weather re-
ports already show better conditions, and
| there were plenty of private adVices in
| circulation here to the effect that general
field work would begin in earnest in the
more favored localities next week. There
| was some talk, however, of foods in the
! Tennessee river localities, as the result of
| recent rains, with the danger line at Chat
| tanooga already passed. AS a rule the
| acreage. gossip was more bearsh. than it
| has been for some time past. Public ca
| bles were unsatisfactory and also con-
| tributed materially to the weaker feeling
here. Actual and prospective receipts
showed much larger movement than had
been looked for. AT the lowest point of
the day, prices showed a net loss of 5GS
points The close was steady, to Z points
| net lower.

New York, March 17.-Hubbard Bros. &
| Co. say of cotton: 1.-THE weakness in the
market to-day has been due entirely to
the continued liquidation for outside inter-
ests based upon the increase In the move
ment at the ports and interior towns.
| Those who have transferred their interests
| have bought the new crop position, believ-
! ing they offer the best investment because
of the continued delay In farm work due
to rainy weather European spinners have
! also shown a disposition TO buy the new
crops at about those prices, believing the
| grade of the next crop viii certainly be
better than that of this. Liverpool has
| bought few Mays TO cover previous sales
| After such decline reaction is looked
for by the trade, but may be prevented by
| the large movement indicated for next
week by the estimate for Houston to-mor-
| row. Slow liquidation continued to the
| close, the large movement preventing any
recovery. but the pressure of large foreign
| buying orders on the basis of G. 1Oc for Au-
| gust prevented any break
