COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK, March 24.-COTTON-Th
cotton market opened steady, with prices
to 10 points higher on near months and
3 to 5 points higher on the far months
this being a not altogether favorable re-
Spouse to a formidable array of bullish
influences. The latter comprised strong
Liverpool cables, a bullish review by the
Chronicle, a wet weather map, rumors OF
llrmness in southern markets and goodly
number of foreign buying orders. Shorts
became frightened on the CALL and pnr-
chased the present crop deliveries hastily;
Bnt the offerings of long cotton from
had calculated upon, and prices subse-
quently dropped back several points. Sen
timent was sadly mixed, with the con-.
fusion in this respect increased by cor
lcting testimony from the belt concern
ing the present standing of field work
In general and Texas in particular. The
crop movement was light with ind indlca a.
arrivals at the ports, as well as In into
rior towns the coming week. The mar
kct for tn lures closed barely STEADY, Win
prices i to points lower.
