New York. May 15.--Following the more
treasured feeling in Wall street, the cot
ton market was quite prompt 20 show a
steadier front in the face of the conditions
more or less bearsh regarding The weather
in the cotton belt, and the progress being
made by the new crop. The cables from
Liverpool, moreover, were quite as bear
ish as looked for. But on the other hand.
early English orders were for the pur-
chase of cotton. Wall street also showed
a disposition to buy cotton and advices
from New England and from the dry goods
district were still very favorable
After opening steady, with prices un-
changed 20 2 points lower, however, the
weather advices became the paramount
influence and the market yielded little
under local selling, the bears taking adj
vantage of the fact that the better condl-
lions in Wall street were not attended by
general speculative interest in cotton.
At the best the market was narrow, the
entire swing of the day being only mat
ter of points, while the volume of bust
ness was limited
The foreign demand gave preference to
the new crop positions. The Southern in
terest was not factor during the session,
either one way or the other. The closes
was l to points net lower.
