COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The cotton mar,
ket opened firm at an advance OF % S9 ~

of cable news than expected, and follow
Ing the call displayed still further
strength under renewed COVERING py old
crop shorts, with May and July, once more
the choice OF the object Of attention. The lu
former option closing last night at 10 !.
opened this morning at 1912 and then sold

While July reached 0.9G, Later, however.
the pool bought again. nnd toward the
close the market was advanced to about
the best of the day under a fresh scare
