NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The cotton
market was nervous Rnd irregular at
the opening today. with sentiment I'M
settled by the fall In sterling exchange,
which was expected to, lead to wider
differences between American and for
eign markets and possibly retard ex-
ports. First prices were IA to 80 points
higher on old style months n q
points higher to s points lower on the
new, with new style May selling off
from 2i,87c to 24.4Sc right after the call,
and October from 2l,00c to 0,9bc, or
about 4 points higher to 2 points lower.
There was considerable Wall street sell
ing and scattering liquidation, but LiV-
erpool was a good buyer and the market
steadied shortly after the call on firm
ness In the stock market and reports OF
IA better spot demand.
The market became firm later in the
morning on reports OF an improved spot
demand In the South, the outlook fol-
colder weather with rain In the South
west and reports that the peace treaty
would be ready for signatures before
the end of the month. Spot houses
were buyers, while there was covering
by early sellers on the advance, which
extended to 2i.77 for new-style May
and 2l.3O for October. or 20 to 80 points
net higher. .
The volume Of business tapered off
during the early afternoon and there
was some scattered realizing, but prices
were sustained by continued reports OF
tho improved spot demand and ruled
within a few points of the best around
2 o'clock.
