GENERALLY STEADY
 TONE SHOWN IN
 COTTON TRADING
General Market Close Was Steady at a Net Advance of Fifteen to Eighteen
 Points
By Associated Pres.

New York, April 1s-While there was some irregularity as result of week end realizing and scattered southern sell ing, the cotton market showed a gen erally steady tone during today's trad ing because of the improved British la- bor situation, reports of an improving tone in Wall street favorable Manches- ter trade advices, unfavorable weather in the south. and Washington reports fcreshadowing early action to establish peace with Germany These features failed to stimulate much fresh buying but offerings were readily enough ao- sorbed, and after selling at 12.75c. right after the call July advanced to 12S2c and closed at 12Soc. The general market closed steady at a net advance of IS 10 IS points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to 14 points in response to the improvement in British labor condi- tions and reiterated reports that Man chester was doing a larger business in goods for shipment to India and some of the minor outlets There was con- siderable profit-taking at the opening advance, which was probably prompted by the fact that the British coal strike was still unsettled and uncertainty to over-Sunday developments in that re- spect. The talk of increasing domestic mill curtailment was also a dscouraging factor. but Wall street was a good buy CT and after reactions of some to 10 points, the market steadled upon re- newed covering with prices reaching the best figures of the day in the late trad ing when October sold at 1S3Sc The passage of the emergency tariff bill by the House was not prominently men toned as market factor. but there was a good deal of comment on the better tone of sentiment in Wall street, while the hope of increased exports was en- couraged by the reported prospects for the~ declaration of peace with Germany. Fall River sales of print cloths for the week were estimated at 1000 pieces and the curtailment of production at 1900 pieces.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 1S.-Feeling in the cotton market today was more friendly as the result of British labor develop ments, and prices went higher from the opening, but it was plain that the ad- vance was held within bounds by offer ings from buyers of the earlier sessions of the week. This liquidation at times very nearly sppied the demand. Highest prices came toward the close when the trading months were 20 to P points higher than the last quotations of yesterday. with May up to IL ,96c. The close showed net gains of IS to % points, with May at 11.94c.
 Too much rain over a large area of the cotton country added to the steadiness and highest prices were reached on re- ports of a better spot demand in some sections of Texas, notably in the west ern counties Carolina mill centers sent in word of a somewhat better feeling among manufacturers and there was a feeling among some traders that with the labor situation quieter in England, Manchester would take on more activity as the result of the better demand re- ported from the far east.
 In the early trading some of the buy ing appeared to be based on the claim that cotton goods markets in this country we're feeling 8 further demand for both cloths and yarns for export business.
