NEW ORLEANS MARKET.
New Orica ns. I%b. 18.—The cotton market
ruled a trifle easier this morning when the
session opened, owing to tho lack of out
side support. Early trade indicated that
operators were making a strong effort to
NUstain levels, however, and subsequent de.
velopraents showed that these efforts were
not altogether without result.
Initial prices In the market, here were
iibqfit unchanged to 2 points down,-and
from this le\e| the market dropped 5 to 7
points, the May contract selling at its low
price for 14.79.
The, support offered by the room traders
lifted price# Uter and the recovery brought
May cotton 10 points in advance of the low
price for the day and 4 to 5 points higher
than Thursday’s final prices, tho contract
selling for 14.90.
English spinners' takings for tho week
worn rather large and the week’s Insight
small, which wns taken to indicate that
rather bullish statistics would lie used In
compiling the world’s visible supply for this
" There was very little actual business
ported In the local #pot market today, but
prices held steady at full quotations.
