 New orleans. March 9.-Cotton futures onened quiet. 1 point lower to points higher Cables were better than expect ed but selling orders came out rather freely on the first cal land held the mar ket down. After the call the old crops sold 8 to points under yesterdays clos inc hui before the first half hour of trad ing was over recovered all the loss and advanced until they were to points over yesterdays quotation. This ad- vance is based on the dry weather in the western cotton belt In spite of the b,lllishness of weather condition there was nothing doing in the new crop in the early trading.
 The market continued steady until the noon hour, with prices or points above yesterdays closing. At one time the more active months were points up. October
