HI COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 20-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices to
an advance OF 2 points. which was hardly
a full response to the higher cables, owing
to a bearish view of the first section of
the census figures showing a crop of 10,
40S, SAL bales, including linters. When 1T
was found that the linters amounted to
344,970 bales, the largest on record. thus
reducing the crop of lint cotton to 49,.
O36, 900 bales, comparing with the govern
ment's estimate of 12,920.0 600 bales, the
market worked up to a net advance of 244
on the bulge. demand did not seem to be
broadening. md later in the morning the
market eased off again to a net loss of
about 1@S points in consequence. Week
ther rains were reported in the Eastern
belt.
The market closed easy, with prices net
4M7 points lower.
