MARCH COTTON AT
LOWEST OF SEASON
Market Continues Under Pres
sure and Reflects Re-
newed Selling.

The cotton market continued to be
under pressure yesterday and reflected
renewed outside and local Professional
selling in the afternoon, when March
dropped to new low for the season at
1902, or net 80 points down from
Thursdays close. The range at the low
was % TO 80 points less than Thurs
days finals. The local spot price was
25 points down, at 1910 cents. Yes
terdays market was largely a. repeti-
ton of Thursdays session. The vol
ume of new business was negligible,
most transactions representing evening
up efforts. The market was steady and
little changed in the forenoon, opening
unchanged to 16 points lower and then
rallying to about on a level with Thurs
days finish on short covering.
The recovery was soon lost, however.
and the list fiuctuated quietly. with a
few points net loss. The South and
commission houses were sellers, the lat
ter offering March freely. The little
trade demand made no impression on
valies Operators were disappointed
with Liverpool cables, financial news
from New England and the South and
textile reports. 1t was rulnored that
several cotton mills might go on a part
time schedule again. Sentiment Of the
commission house trade Is mixed, which
naturally confuses the professional Gle
