New York March o.-(SpeciaL)-A very decided improvement in foreign exchange brought much. lower Liverpool market. Our market, while opening lower, inn mediately improved for the same reason, because it felt that any improvement in exchange facilitates exports and conse- quently tends to improve the value of cotton in America. Rains fell in Texas and the valley, which was another con- tributing factor in causing the advance. Our trade sees no signs of decline at the moment, but as the outside buying is in very limited volume on account Of the stringency in the securities market, they prefer to wait new crop developments Hubbard Bros.
