Cotton Futures. New York, April 10 -The Sun I says Cotton advanced 2 to 4 points, closing quiet and steady after sales of 91,000 bales.

The Liverpool news was better, more encouraging reports were received from the dry goods trade, and there was an absence of any pressure to sell. It is a waiting market ; everybody is holding aloof from the market pending definite news as to the size of the next crop j The time is near at hand when weather conditions will become the leading factor in the speculation, and advices from the South are being closely watched.
