COTTON TAKES
 A SUDDEN DROP Bears Brought Tremendous In- huence on the Market. s OPENED SIX POINTS LOWER Probably the Most Patent Influence of the Day Was Large Batch of
 Disappointing Cablegrams
 From Liverpool.
OPENED SIX POINTS LOWER

New York, March 2S.-The market for cot ton futures today broke from to 1S points under active liquidation by local and for eign interests. prompted by an array of bearish influences, the equal of which has seldom been brought to act on the market in recent times.
 As a response to disappointing Liverpool cables, the market opened points lower on near months and unchanged to points lower on far months. Positive weakness of its own cropped out later and prices with cred several points further. Feeble rallies only occurred during the balance of the session and sentiment continued of a bear ish kind. Reports that the south was sell ing the balance of spot holdings and sell ing the new crop options short, coupled with the encouraging crop advices, figured aIs leading factors.
 But probably the most potent influence of the day was a batch of cablegrams from Liverpool depicting great nervousness on the part of Manchester spinners as a result of reports from India to the effect that famine conditions were causing serious changes for the world in the far-east cloth market, leading to re-sales of cloths and
 
 England. Though slow to respond to this information, the local market eventually swung downward under the Indian news, more particularly as final reports from Liverpool were indicative of weakness in present crop conditions. The market was finally quiet and steady in tone, with prices net 9q13 points lower on near months and to on near months.

Dry Goods

New York, March 23.-The market today showed no change of any moment in the cotton goods division. The demand has been of about average proportions for quick supplies with forward deliveries against in- different request. Heavy brown sheetings and drills were unchanged in price, with few inquiries export account today. Fine browns were firm. Print cloth and print cloth yarn goods were dull. Coarse colored cottons were all in strong position. Prints were firm but the demand was moderate. Ginghams were unchanged. Linens are still in limited supply, and prices are very firm. Burlaps were also scarce in importers hands, but better sales from second hands at irregular prices.
