COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK

NEW YORK, May 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of l point
on July, but generally 1 to points
higher in response to relatively steady
cables and less favorable weather map
than expected. PesSimistic advices from
northern mill circles. expectations of
rather bearish weekend figures as a re-
suit of the short week in Liverpool, and
renewed private predictions of showers
in the eastern belt, operated against any
general buying movement, however, and
the market was quiet during the early
trading, with prices ruling around the
initial figures.
Futures opened steady. July, 1883;

Trading continued very quiet later in
the morning, with prices easing off to
about the closing figures of last night
under scattered selling which may have
been inspired by reports of showers in
the Carolinas. or New Orleans wires reit-
Grating rain predictions.
