Now York Cotfon MARKED

NEW YORK. March Il. Hutton's wire says:
The market ruled inactive throughout most of
the day. During the closing hours. however a
sudden raid made against the market by the
bear element and il appeared to take the sup
porters or the market so completely by surprise
that the movement met with little resistance.
On the decline some stop DISORDERS were uncov-
cred. which greatly accelerated the downward
movement, and result of this break May
fell to lO.25c and July TO 99Sc. The close was
at a slight reaction from the lowest figures Of
the day.
good many reports here this morning claim
thst lots of mills are cutting wages, but the
trade looks upon it being little more than
curtailing the output. The final census figures
Friday are expected TO show about 10, 900, 600 to
IL 100000 bales gnned''
