New York, April 1.-It was a day of
| small things in the local cotton market.
Bulls and bears alike seemed to be indif-
ferent 10 news of any kind, while inves-
tors withdrew from the situation alto
gether, leaving the market In an almost
| lifeess condition. There was scarcely a
sembance of the usual activity which
| characterized the opening market this
morning. Liverpool representatives were
in possession of few buying orders and
on this demand, together with some GOV.
ering BY tired bears. prices moved 3li4
| points, but later partially reacted under
| sheer neglect. The pit was practically
deserted during the greater part OF the
day, room traders finding absolutely moth
| ing on which TO base new calculations, and
commission house brokers being destitute
Of orders. The close was quiet, net un-
changed TO l point higher The English
cables public and private. noted a like
circles.
