Walter Cotter X Co.'s Daily Cotton
 Letter.

New Orleans, March 16.-The under tone of the market is not good at present; improvements obtained by force are hard to maintain and van- ish rapidly as soon as support IS sus- pended. This shows that feeling and situation in general are not favorable to an advance. Expectations of a bullish census report on Wednesday prevents, so far, the practical express sion of increasing distrust. After falling off in receipts, owing. to the de- cline in export business, may likewise delay matters until the cause. for this decrease is properly recognized, but, all in all, the markets at the moment are sadly in need of some such sup port as a spell of bad weather: with out it this price level, under exist ing circumstances, can only be main tained by manipulation.
 Due unchanged on near and l to Z higher on distants, Liverpool closed 3 to lower on old crops and 1 to 2 lower on new. Spot prices up, sales 1000.
