NEW YORK, Feb. 20-The SUMS cotton market
review, says: "Ihere was decline early in the
day In sympathy with rather weak Liverpool
advices, but later the loss was recovered and a
small net advance was established, largely
owing to buying by New Orleans and local
covering. The anti-option bill was not sprung
upon the House, as some had feared, but in
spite OF the delays in settling the Lancashire
strike the private advices generally predict an
aaTlV a1 iuRtmRnE of the trouble and EuFnDp
bought. Prices fell to points,
regained this and rose TO
points, closing steady with sales of 200.700
bales Liverpool advanced II to 1 point, lost
this and closed steady at q decline of hall
point, with spot sales of 5000 bales New Or
leans prices declined early, but recovered and
