THE DEMAND FOR aa
 COTTON FUTURES Was Quite Active and of a Gen.
 eraI Character. COVERING WAS A FEATURE Ofthe Early Market, Mostly on Liver pool and Other Foreign Orders
 Average of English Gables
 Not Satisfactory.
COVERING WAS A FEATURE

New York, April 6s-The demand for cot ton futures was quite active this morning and of a general character. The opening call developed frmness at an advance of 2 to points on the remote positions, while the nearer months opened at unchanged prices to an advance of 1 point
 The remote deliveries maintaining a firm relation to the general list throughout the section owing to advces of cold rains in Texas, and extremely low tempera ture, to a greater or less extent elsewhere. Cover ing upon an extensive scale was a feature Of the early market in good part on Liv- erpool and otaer foreign orders.
 These We're directed largely towards the near positions and resulted in their ulti- mately moving up until the advance was as great as that on the late positions. Still later the general market showed more or less irregularity resulting from an alter hating mood on the part of the local con- tlngent who were influenced by the some what conflicting character or weather ac- counts and cotton planting gossip. The average of the English pubic cables was not satisfactory, although the liberal sales o1 spot cotton at Liverpool made a good impression.
 According to private cables the advance on futures at Liverpool was due to bullish weather accounts from this side. Light receipts also served to check selling. While the foreign contingent bought the near po- sltlons quite freely, they were disposed to sell to later deliveries. Southern orders were not numerous and were about evenly divided between long and short s.des of the market. Some predictions of frost to- night over the great part of the cotton belt and estimates of smaller receipts made all classes of traders cautious during the afternoon. Taking the session as a whole the volume of trading was only fairly full with a disposition to hesitate and hold off for further developments respecting the new crop. The market closed steady at a net advance of to points.
