COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes Steady With
Prices Unchanged to Points


New York, April 19.-Taken as a whole
to-day's cotton market was a small local
affair. with the natural inclination of
prices downward. Apparent efforts at
manipulation Of July caused frequent up
lifts, but speculative support was lacking
with pit sentiment quite generally bear
ish under a combination of adverse in
fuences. The opening was quiet and easy
with prices down to points. By mid
day the loss was increased to a matter
of $40 points, with the market at that
time weak and irregular. Liquidation,
selling for short account and scattered
pressure from the South and abroad, in
the absence Of outside support. caused the
heaviness, though behind the selling
movement were lage port receipts, week
Liverpool cables, talk of easier Southern
spot markets and belief that the late
storm had done no real damage to the
crop. The financial report of the British
government which claims to the effect
that Manchester and continental spinners
were selling the new crop options short
in Liverpool as a hedge against present
holdings, were given as q cause for a
sharp decline in the English market. Soon
after midday estimates for smaller re-
ceipts tomorrow AT New Oereans and
Houston and a forecast for further rains
with frosts in parts of the eastern belt,
frightened shorts and the market ed-
vanced to last nights final figures. Later
prices eased off under light general SELL
ing Covering by July shorts rallied the
market several points in the last few min
utes and the close was steady with prices
net unchanged to 7 points lower.

Central system The express stocks
moved upwards in company on the belief
that closer association was In view as
the result of yesterdays election as di-
rectors of the United States Express of
officials of other companies. Belief in
merger of Southwestern railroads was a
potent factor in that section of the mar
ket. In large number of stocks there
was not even an attempt to assign a mo-
tive for the large buying, which was pad
pa bly, based on the all embracing ex-
pectation that the price of the stock
would go up because others had done so.
A very sharp contrast 10 the general
movement OF the market was the heavi-
ness OF the United States steel stocks, the
preferred falling at one time nearly a
point below last night. This was partly
accounted for by the circulation by the
bears of a rumor that j. p. Morgan was
suffering from heart trouble, but the
stocks did not recover with the authorita-

Tho cotton market closed steady and
Unchanged. with no sales reported on the

the local market throughout the week,
both from factor tables and from the
interior. No disposition was shown to
sell at CONCESSIONS however, and for the
most part what business was done was
on basis satisfactory to holders. Con-
siderable lots of cotton are understood to
be scattered throughout Georgia, but
holders have stood the storm SO far, and
are reluctant to do business except at at
tractive prices. The local receipts for tho
week were 1888, against 9,4H last year,
