COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK, April 16.-Cotton futures
October, 1885: December. 1889; January.
1894.
The market was comparatively quiet
early today. The Presidents proclama-
ton naturally attracted general atten-
ton and that section urging southern
farmers to plant increased foodsruffs was
discussed in some quarters as bullish
feature. Business, however, was con-
accounts pending fresh developments and
after opening 6 points higher to IL points
lower. the market eased OFF under scat
tering liquidation. May contracts declined
to 20.25 and October to 1875 before the
end of the first hour, or IL to Il points
net lower. No rain was reported in the
southwest, but the weather east Of the
river was considered favorable. Private
cables reported a very small market in
| Liverpool with prices steady on trade
calling and continental buying.
Tie market was very quiet later in
the morning, with fluctuations compare
lively narrow. May sold up to 20.3o and
october to 1880 on covering, but the
bulge was barely maintained, with
active months ruling about II to 20
points under Saturdays closing figures
early in the noon hour.
NEW ORLEANS. April 16.--Cot:on
opened steady. Opening bid: May,
1919; July, 1926: October. 1898; De-
cember, 1910 asked; January, 1S.4T.
Better weather in the eastern belt
promise of showers in the western and
the belief that President Wilson's mes
sage to American people indicated the
government would take stand against
any further strong rises in the price of
any commodity, caused rather general
selling of cotton today. In the first
half hour Of business prices lost Is to
20 points.
