By Gilbert & Clay
 New Orleans. March 26.-The English market did not get hysterieal over the census report and the advance of 90 points in both departments was hardly consistent with the rise in American markets yesterday. Lancashire spinners were expected to take fright over the calculation of such a light yield. but the spot sales of 1000 bales failed to indicate the existence of great nervousness. Open ing prices here were slightly lower, but the market started off again under dou- ble-head of steam through the power of very bullish wire advices issued from New York, and an advance of about g per bale was established over yesterday 8 closing quotations. Spots were marked up correspondingly, but the transactions were limited to several hundred bales So Tar as the general situation Is concerned, much higher prices may be observed If the crop Is really close to the census figures, but at this precise moment the trade Is interested to a greater extent in the nature of demand that spinners must continue. It is doubtful if splnners will rush in to buy at such material ad- vance and without a substantial inquiry In the spot department any pronounced tendency toward liquidation of recent speculative purchases will exert a decid- edly detrimental influence on prices even though 1t be temporary.
