COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, April 2s.-,-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at n decline of 2Qfl points,
and following the call ruled generally
quiet as to volume of transactions, though
prices displayed considerable irreguarity,
The initial decline was due to lower Eng
lIsh cables and the rather heavier port
receipts forecasted for the day. while the
weather reports indicated somewhat more
favorable conditions throughout the crop
country. The decline in liverpool was at
trbuted by private cables to liquidation by
the bulls In that market. and there seemed
to be. more or less Liquidation In the crop
months IN the local market which, while
showing brief periods of strength. worked
generally downward to a level 2GS points
