| New York, March 2-The cotton mar
| kef made a steady start at an advance OF
2d4 points. cables encouraging ana re-
ceIpts small. But the early demand appear
"a to come almost entirely from shorts.
| ana as soon as they were filled up the mar
| ket began TO taper off and continued easy
| until there was a decras of 3n6 points
| from the opening call prices on the more
| active options. There was an entire let up
| In the demand from outsiders. But, while
| the local contingent had the market pref
| ty much to themselves they did not know
| what 20 do with it, and most of them let
| IL severely alone.
Business was the sowest for recent
times From the highest to the lowest
| prices there was a variation of only six
points, with the market finally steady, net
unchanged to points lower Selling was
| restricted by continued frmness and ac-
| tivity in print cloths, with the strike ques-
| ton practically settled by q recent ad-
| vance of wages at several New England
points. which reflected prosperity In the
| cotton spinning industry in this country
| while Manchester reported slight i'm
| provement In the English market. South
| ern spot markets were steady 20 firm at
unchanged prices.
