New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK. April 1.--Huttons wire says:
Cotton not only showed a better undertone to-
day than for some time, but also a better class
Of support and general buying. This carried
prices up in the early trading 10 TO Ia points
As has been pointed out in the advices of the
last few days: there is nothing to Indicate the
activity or sharp advance in prices but it seems
as though most OF the bearish features have been
discounted and purchases of the July August or
October months advisable on further
breaks from this level than short sales In the
late afternoon prices reccded until about half of
the early improvement was lost on Liquidation
by the scalping contingent. and further short
selling by the bear element which has been
resisting the recent tendency of the market to-
ward improvement.
New calculations will have to be made as
to the possible consumption from now on as
last years figures Will be no criterion The
cuNailment Of working time by New England
and southern mills Is conclusive evidence that
they will not need much cotton for the rest
of the season as they used for the same period
last year. and this apparently will Offset what
Europe may take In excess owing to the short
croD of India.
