New York, March H.-To-day's market
for cotton futures was narrow. The OPEN
ing call developed a steady feeling with
the average prices about equal to yester-
days closing figures The new positions
showed a decline of 1G3 points, and the far
months unchanged prices to an advance
of points.
Gradually the market levelled I'D 10 a
net gain of 1q2 points on yesterdays clos
ing with trading for a time quite active
Later there was steadier feeling Bust
ness subsidized and local traders were again
In possession. Prices advanced to a point
2d4 over yesterdays closing figures.
Houses with Liverpool connections start
ed a buying movement and gave some at
tention to near crop positions.
These they bought with some degree of
freedom, being disposed to take stock in
the talk of decreased acreage and small
er receipts. General selling was restrain
ed by continued reports OF a favorable
character from the Southern spot mar
kets from the New England spinners and
