COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK. April 23.-The cotton
market opened steady today at an ad-
vance of 4 to Is points, but a full re-
Spouse to strong Liverpool cables was
newed liquidation. and later fluctua-
| tons were irregular.
May contracts, after selling at zoos
on the call, eased of to 1881, while Oc-
tober declined from 1910 to 1S.33-back
to within or points of Saturdays
closing figures.
Futures opened steady; May. zoos:
July, 1850; October, 1910: December.
1899; January. 1888.
NEW ORLEANS, April 23.-Better
cables than due caused rise OF IL to
II points in the first half hour of bust
ness on the cotton exchange today. Dry
weather in Texas stimulated the de-
mand to some extent. Offerings were
on a limited scale and appeared to
come chiefly from buyers of the end OF
last week.
Futures opened steady: May. 1902:
July, 1878; october. 1855; December.
1885 asked: January, 1902.
Liquidation of long cotton Increased
and finally weighed rather heavily
against the market. Toward noon the
advance was entirely lost and replaced
by a decline of to 2 points below the
level of Saturdays close.
Scattering May liquidation in advance
of the first notice day on Wednesday
helped to unsettle the market during the
second hour. May sold on to 1870. or
I points net lower. while October de-
clined to 1928, or about even to Satur-
days closing figures.
Covering caused rallies Of or points
early in the noon hour.
