NEW YORK COTTON
The market opened easy with early decline. This was due to May liquidation and mixed Bombay advices. On the whole, the market was dull, and prices moved in narrow range. Possibly, this decline was only a temporary reaction, after 'yesterday's sharp advances.
NEW YORK RUBBER
The market still showed a good tone, and ruled quietly steady to- day. With the exception of the price for May, all the rest continued to advance.
CHICAGO WHEAT
Prices advanced sharply on new buying and covering by short in- terests, influenced by reports of crop damage,
