NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, March 14.-The cotton mar
ket opened strong at rise of 10 to "a
points and soon showed a rise Of 20 to %
points as compared with the closing fig
ures OF Yesterday. The sensational rise
thus indicated was due to a great surprise
furnished by today's cables, which in
stead of showing a decline of 1 to 6
points. which would have matched the
New York closing of yesterday, reached
an advance of 2 to 3 points. According
to private cables the English rise was
the result of renewed and energetic buy
ing orders from Alexandria, the Egyptian
spectators having gone over to the bull
side of the account, while Jobbers were
said to be short at Liverpool The New
York contingent was struggle to cover,
but sellers were scarce and not untll May
cotton had sold up to 9S7 was the upward
movement arrested From this.point there
was a decline to ga, but the market re-.
NAMED very active and showed evidence
of renewed interest on the part of the
bull pool The trading was centered
largely in May contracts in which OF late
n very considerable short interest had
been created Operations, however,
We're heavy in July and August. During
the early excitement the new crop posi-
lions were quite neglected and held q
nominal relation to the other months.
There was some investment demand on
a spreading belief that the movement

tions may not justify expectations.
