| New York, March 28-There was quiet
but firm market for cotton this morn
| ing. with prices 2d4 points higher on the
| opening call after which there was a fur
| ther improvement of 4G5 points, largely
| owing to the bullish character of the Eng
| lish cables which were supplemented by
| buying orders from Liverpool and some
| indcat tion of the same class of orders from
the continent. The upward movement
| was further stimulated by reports to the
|
| Western portion of the cotton belt durina
| the night, while indications continued to
point to a falling temperature for to-day.
The feature of the forenoon trading was
| the foreign demand to a considerable ex-
! tent restricted to positions not extending
! beyond July, and said TO be for the pur-
pose of undoing hedges put out previous
| to Jan. ]. Subsequently the foreign de-
mand subsded and prices receded a little
as the support from other sources was
quite feeble; there was scarcely any in
! terest shown by houses with Southern con-
nection, while the strictly local crowd"
was equally listless and hestated to take
part on either side of the account.
In the afternoon. while the market waa
for the most part firm. speculation was
! very slack traders being influenced by
late estimates of smaller receipts to-mor-
row. on the one hand. and by forecasts
Of generally favorable weather In the
| South on the other hand. The market
was finally steady al a net gain OF 50s
points.
