COTTON.

New York, April 2.-The cotton mark
ct opened steady with prices two to five
points higher on a furry of covering and
light Wall Street buying, prompted by
firm Liverpool cables and light port re-
ceipts. Yet soon after the call the bear
leaders took advantage of tame specula-
tive support to depress the summer
months May was sold down to STA and
July to SIC, before buyers of conse-
quence could be induced to support the
market. Liverpool responded to the
heaviness here by declining a bare half
point, which was later regained and Eu-
rope bought near months here to undo
straddles made several months ago. The
South sent bullish reports as to the
temper of Southern spot markets and
advices from spinning centres were most
encouraging so far as demand for cloths
and yarns were concerned. light es-
innate for tomorrow's Houston receipts
made little or no impression on the
market at the close of the first hour, and
it was not until midday that decided
strength was manifested. Shorts then
appeared to get wind of light estimate
for tomorrow's New Orleans receipts,
not due to appear until 1890. In at
tempting to cover, prices advanced to
the opening level. For the rest of the
session, the tendency was steadily up
ward with the advance particularly active
in the last hour when shorts were driven
in by export clearances of 40 900 bales.
these following clearances yesterday of
$4,000 bales, and being three times larger
than port receipts. The close was very
steady with prices net three to seven
points higher.

the most Independent and enterprising OF
our citizens. AS a result OF this prosper
ity. in one Of the richest sections OF the
Platte valley, eight miles west Of Lexing-
ton. the new town Of Darr is located. The
original plat has just been filed, and the
start to build a town has begun with a
large force OF men at work in constructing
two modern grain elevators, lumber houses,
depot trackage and dwellings. The whilom
quiet place is a scene of activity. and a
very pretty, enterprising village within a
few months is an assured fact. The loca-
tion being midway between the county seat
and Cozad makes the site one Of great
advantage, and there is no longer any
doubt that the town of Darr ere long will
be an important mart Of Dawson county.
