New York, Feb 20-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton to-day: ''1he market was active
enough to-day, but the bulls had to pay for
the music. The Liverpool reports were de-
pressing, and the liquidation OF March
cotton began in earnest. The whole list gave
way under the pressure of offerings. The
opening was at decline Of about points
May selling on the call at TT. The decline
was heavy throughout the day, May declin-
ing to III. Short covering In the last half
hour caused feeble rally, and the close was
steady with 773 bid, for May. March
was the weakest month, selling down
to 7.57, and closing at 7.5S. Only a
fraction of the large long interest in March
was liquidated to day, and as Thursday
will be holiday, there is likely to be re-
before Friday. We can see nothing en-
couraging in the outlook Just now; although
prices are so low, good reaction, especially
after the March liquidation has been com
pleted would occasion no surprise.
