New York, May 1.-The cotton market
made a quiet but steady start, at I'M
changed prices to an advance of points.
From this out variations We're few and
| quite Indifferent.
The foreign contingent bought the pres
| ent crop months in a conservative way
around the opening but subsequently, gave
attention to selling the remote new crop
deliveries.
Local traders manifested little desire to
| operate one way or the other in the abb
sence Of more tangible information re-
| gardlng the probable acreage or important
change in other directions.
In adyices from the South the bear
crowd were especially favored, crop ac-
counts being very gratifying, the weather
| holding clear and mild, receipts running
full, and spot cotton markets ruling gen.
orally inactive, with a barely steady UNI
| dertone. European news averaged Up
against longs, Liverpool futures being re-
ported inactive, with a sagging tendency,
whsle az Manchester a strike was inn
pending. and the outlook generally was
| rather gloomy. The reverse might be
said Of American cloth markets AT Fall
/ River spinners we're vigorously bidding for
| supplies of cloths but manufacturers were
holding out for full hrmer to a shade high
| err prices. The close was quiet, with
/ prices net ] to points lower.
