COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, April 11.-There seemed
to be a good deal of pressure against
the cotton market at the opening today.
Selling orders had, apparently, accu-
mulated overnight, and first prices were
IT to 25 points lower in response to
weak cables, liquidation and scattered
selling. The weather map showed un-
desirably low temperatures In the south'
but seemed to make little impression on
sentiment which was unsettled. and pc
fore the end of the first hour July had
eased off to 3237 and October to S0.Sl,
or 3S to 42 points net lower
Futures opened steady; May, 1885;
July, $3.50; October, 31.0o; December.
30.6S; January, 30.5S.
The weakness Of the late Liverpool
ca bles and heavy Liverpool selling here
were prominent factors on the break
during the middle Of the morning. July
contracts sold off to 32.25. and October
to 306s. or SO to 81 points under last
cent and half from the recent high
records on old crop months. After the
close abroad. prices here steadied on
covering, and reports of a sharp reduc-
tion in British marine war risks which
was considered largely responsible for
the break in the English market.
