COTTON EASIER
 UNDER LIQUIDATION
March Contracts Increase Premium, Closing 36
 Points Over May

New fork. February s2S.-After open . ing steady at an advance of to 5 points. cotton today turned easier un- der local liquidation and southern sell ing, with the close steady, but from to points net lower. March con- tracts maintained. or even increased, their premium, closing 36 points over May, and it was rumored that south ern spot holders are still short or March as a hedge against supplies in the interior. Local traders who take this view Of the March situation think it possible that cotton will be shipped here for delivery before the end of next month should the premium in- crease further, or should the market reach an attractive level Others im- agine that the remaining March inter- est will be gradually covered and re- sold in May and there were scatter
 ing predictions that May will sell at a substantial discount under July be- cause of these operations.
 The opening advance was on rela- lively firm cables. Private advices from Liverpool attTEuted the strength there to greater activity in Manchester and small offerings. There were few overnight buying orders around the local ring at the opening, while some support was also inspired by the Eng fish showing. but demand was by no means general and the market soon weakened n sympathy with New Or leans. Part of the selling was attrib uted to Wall street longs, while there were moderate offerings of May and July from spot sources.
 According to official returns, perma- nent spot interests took practically all the March notices issued yesterday. representing about 50,00O bales, and after actual deliveries are made on Monday it is supposed that they will be practically in control of local stock. Private cables reported beneficial rains in India. There was no change in gen eral character of southern news re- garding either spots or the new crop outlook.
