Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. S cotton circu-
lar of to-day says: I'm consequence OF Liver
pool adviceS being less favorable than expected,
our market opened this morning 4G5 points
below last nights close. Some outstanding
shorts were free buyers, and gave the market
small lift, but as soon as the demand appeared
satisfied sellers increased. and prices closed at
about opening quotations. The fact that our
market did not hold yesterdays advance seems
TO be evidence that to some extent long interest
has been made, especially among smaller local
dealers, who, as matter of caution, always
hqudate their engagements i'll the face of the
holidays. A rather unexpected decline of 10
points in New Orleans gave cause for restrict
ing operations on the bull side. The lower range
in New Orleans is explained by rumors of
failures there, although nothing positive could
be learned"
All the exchanges in this city will be closed
tomorrow. The Cotton and Coffee Exchanges
will be closed Saturday also
