New York May 24.-The cotton market
| opened steady. with prices unchanged to
? points higher, the Improvement being
due 10 favorable cables, the feature OF
which was the excellent showing made
| by spot sales. Soon after the opening
CALL however, the market took an easier
turn, owing to more favorable weather
in sections of the cotton belt which had
been long in need of moisture. The mar
ket by noon had fallen back to yester-
| days closing prices, after which the local
situation became listless and exceptional
uninteresting. No outside orders of con-
sequence reached the exchange and local
traders were slow to decide as to which
way to turn, the favorable cables from
| Great Britain being supplemented by con-
tluued favorable accounts from New Eng
land and from cotton goods district, while
| on the other hand, the Southern spot mar
| kets showed less energy and the cross
accounts were of a generally favorable
character. The market was particularly
pulseless IN the afternoon. when the room
contingent had the session entirely to
themselves and maintained policy OF
| strict conservatism. The market closed
| quiet and steady, ! TO 2 net lower.
