Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar of to-day says: I'm the absence of any
Liverpool news our market did not show the
buoyancy of last week, and prices opening SGs
points below the close of Thursday, lost further
79S points during the remainder of the session.
We cannot give any special reason for the de-
cline, except that there was pronounced de
sire 10 sell, parity Dy operators VINO nau DOuSuu
during the latter part of last week in hopes of
further improvement, and partly on some
southern orders to go short of the market.
Leading houses kept passive. Receipts show
pretty full movement, but current estimates of
the overland movement for March are smaller
than the figures for the same time last year.
There is desire here to buy cotton for export,
but actual transactions are curailed by narrow
margins between here and Liverpool"
