NEW YORK COTTON, March 1s.-In less
than ten minutes after the opening another half
cent had been taken off thep rice of cotton con-
tracts to-day. No morning of the season had
witnessed a more perfectly. demoralized market
Prices went up and down TO- 20 and 80 points in
two and three minutes of time. May opened at
15.25c, sold down to 14.75c In less than 10 min
utes. while July, opening at 1920, went down
to 14.S6c. Toward the end of the first half
hounr early sellers started to cover, and there
was a rapid advance. There was notrfng in the
news to account for the, excitement. cables were
rather better than expected and receipts ran a
little smaller. 1t seemed merely renewal of
bear opera lions and the catching of further stop
orders. .-~s .-.-..
