NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, April 1.-THE clos
ing session of the week in the cotton
market was featured by a sharp de-
cline in prices caused by the sudden
aggressiveness Of the bear side.
Heavy selling by strong traders dis
lodged much long cotton and offerings
throughout the session were more
than the ring could absorb, even in
the face of heavy profit-taking pur-
"hases on ten part of sellers of the
earlier part of the week. At no time
did the market display any recuper-
atlVe power.
ON the opening the tone was steady
and prices were 5to 7 points down.
~ the lowest of the morning the
trading months were 10 to 10 points
under the last quotations Of yester-
day. The close was at a net loss of
y to i3 points. At the lowest of the
morning prices were at new low levels
