When compircd wllh tho mmv dull
sessions that have been experienced re
ccntls this mlcht be classed as an actlxe
day In the cotton market Liverpool sent
over an advance of l6ld on futures and
reported spot sales of 10000 hales with
prices l32d higher The Improvement
abroad wis considered nn ncknowlodc
ment of the ilamace done or threatered
by the Mississippi river floods and mused
the American markets to show more ap-
preciation of the condttlorn prevalllntr In
that section of tho co ton belt New
York ndvanccd 3 to 6 polns and Now Or-
leans showed a call of 3 to 4 points
The fall months wero especially ictlve

New York March 31 Tho volume of
speculairlvo trading falling to broaden a
foellng of disappointment pervaded tho
cotton trade on this account A stronger

ocntlniued alarming characitor of advices
from ihe flooded districts Reports from
the Southern m tricot Indicate a ftrong
deni uid for spots and from Pall River
