NEW YORK COTTON MARKET
OPENS DULL, BUT IMPROVES
Good Reports From Liverpool Get
Poor Response

NEW YORK, April II. The cotton
market this morning made a poor response
to strength in Liverpool, and at the start
prices were only | to points higher
due to heavy pressure from two quarters
which was believed to be for Liverpool
account,
After the call the demand increased, and
despite the continuation of pressure from
abroad, prices rose n point or two.
The market was quiet during the middle
of the day, but held steady within a
point or two of the best, or about . to
points above last nights closing figures.
Two or three private cables were received
this morning predicting wider differences
between Liverpool and New York, and
some traders consequently looked for in
creased Liverpool straddle selling on
bulges Very little news seemed to be
reaching the ring from the South and
after the close of Liverpool, business here
was local.
