New York. March F The cotton mar ket opened quiet and steady al a dcLiiT.e Of l to 5 points on tie old crop months while the new crop positions were Gr- changed to ? points higher The declines were the result of liquidation following rather disappointing Liverpool cables and somewhat heavier estimates for the day ; receipts, while the late positions came III for considerable demand from commission fouses and Europe. There was, howeve~ little aggressive selling, and the bullish showing Of the visible supply statement caused considerable covering among se.I CTS on the higher levels of yesterday. This demand, with the assistance of mod crate bull support, rallied the market soon after the call and at ono time the active months were about points net higher. Following this they eased off to about last nights level, after which thG market, continuing more or less irregu- lar. was generally quiet and steady.

The week end statistics being bull ish. there was some comment in favor of the longs. The foreign advices to-day were gen. orally about as expected, and the foreign houses had few orders of consequence. The estimates for next weeks receipts were small and served to encourage some covering by the less confident shorts. There was some bullish talk in connection with the spinners' buying. but the latter was not active Sat urday as previous days of late The reports from the cloth centres Saturday were without special feature.
