8 to 9 points under the highs with
May at 19.95, July 19.99 and Oc

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, March 23.—-<!&—
Cotton opened steady at a decline
of 2 points to an advance of 4
points. There appeared to be some
overnight selling orders, particular
ly in May and July which tended
to offset the influence of relative
ly firm cables.
Offerings were absorbed, and the
market soon showed net advances
of 9 to 15 points. May sold up from
$20.68 to $20.78 and new October
advanced to $20.08.
