NEW YORK COTTON REVIEW.

New York, March 26.-Prices have changed little during the week. The tendency has been towards steadiness In the old crop months. and something like dragging in the new crop options Speculation has continued dull and trade at home and abroad is reported quiet. Some large spot interests here are believed to be against the market and believed to be selling October, De- rember and January steadily, and there Is little outside support On the other hand, cotton is by many people con sidered cheap; the market disputes ev- cry decline and shorts cover readily on the slightest recession. Much of the time Liverpool has done good spot bus mess and has been steady buyer here of May in liquidating straddles.
 The May option is watched with good deal of interest. The tendency of late has been for both May and uJly to increase their premiums over the later months. It Is predicted that May will reach a much higher premium lat CT on. when it can be put up. without too much danger of attracting big shipments to New York. There Is be- ieved to be a large short interest here for a Liverpool account. both on strad- dles and hedges. Liverpool shows disposition to liquidate these execu- lions at the present level of prices.
 Within a day or two large Chicago grain operators have sold considerable holdings of July without disturbing even a narrow market.
