COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, March 14.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices points higher to l
point lower and almost Immediately became
firm brisk covering and moderate foreign
buying. The basis for this demand was a tirmer
ruling OF the Liverpool market than believed
to be due to the New York close yesterday.
The prospect Of port receipts Of 1000 bales as
against 20, 900 same day last year. helped to
encourage bull support and to intinidate the
bears. But before IL o'clock the whole sltua.
ton seemed TO swing around III favor Of the
shorts. Port receipts came in heavier than early
figured upon. the insight estimates shaped to-
ward 10000 bales, and the English market
house selling, a withdrawal of bull support and
vigorous bear selling quickly forced the whole
list of, July dropping from 500 to Ssh.
Further Fall River strike talk, though more or
less vague, was not without depressing In
fiuence, nor was cable from Manchester stat
ing that short time sentiment was becoming
more general. The official insight were fully
as bearish as predicted, and for the time being
took every vestge of bull snap out of the mar
ket. Just when everything seemed to favor
the BEARS estimates for to-morrow's New Orr
leans and Houston receipts came into promi-
nece, showing relatively small movement.
Then came report that prominent local ex-
port house was selling spot cotton to southern
mills, buying May cotton in New York in its
place. thereby rcapins generousp roft. Buy
Ing for both accounts became popular in the
last hour, and before the close July had stiff
fcned to SIS with other options mp In proper
ton. The market closed very steady with prices
net unchanged to 3 points higher.
