Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
The record of the days cotton market has
been of further liquidation, and though prices
do not show much decline, the feeling continues
soft. The special feature of the market to-day
has been the large liquidation of January, which
at Soc were heavily sold by commission
house carrying them for outside account, and
they passed into the hands Of the strongest
firms"

CHfcAeo Dec. 17.-Trihng influences affected
the wheat market, which ruled dull, and the
