BULL SUPPORT IS GOOD
New Orleans Bulls Are General sellers and Keep the Market From Advance ing While the Tone of inc
 Market Is Strong

New York, March 11.-A sharp advance
 during the forenoon was followed by
 reaction in todays cotton market, but
 the final tone was steady and prices
 closed net 1 point lower to 14 points high
 CT, August and September being rela-
 lively firm, while active months were
 generally to points above the closing figures of yesterday.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of points to decline of l point, and while the cables were fairly steady, soon sold off to a net loss of 2 to points, with near months relatively easy
 under realizing and besE pressure, which
 seemed 10 be as much inspired by the early absence of bull support as by re-
 ports of freer southern spot offerings.
 At the decline, southern bulls came to the
 support of prices, however, and during the late forenoon the market became strong and active on this demand, and covering by near month shorts. May contracts sold up to IA 96c and July to
 IA Gee. or 10 to Il points net higher, and
 at tine highest price reached since May
 sold at 13S0c last month.
 Reports that MT. Patten was arranging
 an outlet for cotton taken up on New York contracts in Manchester, together
 with reports that arrangements had been
 made to ship 10000 bales of the local
 stock to Bremen, undoubtedly contributed largely to the advance, but above IA soc for May New Orleans bulls were free sellers, and the market reacted to about the closing figures of yesterday under
 realizing, and claims that part of the selling was against cotton to be shipped here from the south.
 Nevertheless. bullish weekend figures
 and the steady ruling of southern spot
 markets which. as officially reported,
 were unchanged to 14c higher, imparted a generally steady tone in the late trading. and May closed at 14.S0c bid. or 2 points
 net higher No further precipitation of
 consequence was reported in the south west
