COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK. April 2S.--The cotton
, market opened steady at an advance
of points on May, but generally ]
to 4 points lower, because of slightly
disappointing cables and scattered
realizing or liquidation. There was a
little buying on favorable reports
from the cotton goods trade. ana
| rather more cheerful view OF events
at Genoa, but brokers with LiVerpool,
New Orleans and spot house connec-
tions Were sellers. and the market
| was comparatively quiet after the
opening. with July ruling around
1888 and october 1851, or 10
notices We're issued. but May held a
pr emium of about 40 points over July
during the early trading.
Futures opened steady: May, 1893;
July. 1860: October, 1853; December
1863; January, 1852.
Trading was quiet later in the
| morning. A private report indicat
ing an increase of 11.2 per cent in
acreage had no apparent effect on the
| immediate market and some scatter
ed selling on the western belt fore
cast for clearing weather was alb
sorbed. Covering by May shorts and
an increase in the premium to 4,
points over July evidently had sus-
, tanning influence, with the general
list ruling about 5 TO II points nel
