NEW YORK, Feb. -COttOn-Messrs.
Hubbard, Pnce a Co., in their cotton circu-
lar tonight. say: Liverpool and New
York continue TO act entirely independent

our market remains practically unchanged.

Of the demand from Manchester and the
continued heavy movement Of the crop in
America, while the operators in our market
are acting upon the belief that the present
range of values Justify them in securing
profits, as the Liverpool market should re-
act from its recent sharp decline. Our
market is now about half cent. above A
parity with the Liverpool, and cot
ton is slowly pointing this way from the
Southern markets under the nducement OF
