New York, March 27.-Reaizing for
over the weekend was promoted by
favorable weather conditions in the
south and the cotton market opened
steady at decline of 4 to 10 points.
May sold off during the first few
minutes but prices soon turned firmer
on the continued strength of sterling
exchange and renewed covering. The
latter was stimulated by reports Of
unfavorable weather in the southwest.
The advance carried May up to 1885
and July to 1913 or about 10 to Is
points net higher. but was checked
around 1920 for October by renewed

fluctuations were irregular with the
