COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. April 10.-The cotton
market opened steady at q decline Of Gall
points under realixing and a little local
selling inspired by lower cables and the
better weather Of the past twenty-four
hours IN the south. There seemed to be
little prospect Of generally clearing con-
ditions. however, and while there was
much talk Of q reaction around the ring.
the market ruled very steady during the
middle Of the morning with prices or 5
points up from the lowest. on renewed
covering and trade buying Offerings
were restricted by the ondcial forecasts
for unsettled weather with showers in
central and northwestern sections Of the
belt tonight or tomorrow.
Reports from Memphis that further
breaks were feared In the levees at Rose
dale. combined with the unfavorable
weather forecast rendered early sellers
uneasy during the middle of the morning
and the MARKET turned firm There did
not appear to be any aggressive buying
for long account. but covering of shorts
and support from trade sources caused q
rally to within q point or two Of last
nights closing figures and the market
at midday was quiet and steady.
Spot cotton quiet; middling uplands,
IS nominal.
Estimated receipts at all the ports to-
day. $1,000 bales, against 1888 bales last
week and 1888 bales last year. For the
week. 900 bales, against 14S, 191 bales
last week and 52O24 bales last year. To-
days receipts At Galveston, 3,O5S bales,
