New York, Feb. 18.-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton today: II he cotton market to-day
again felt the effect of the continued forced
liquidation OF long contracts Liverpool did
NV pOuu W OuT utCllu6 Ol yesterday, ana
at the opening there was considerable buying
for foreign account. May opened at Z S3c and
advanced 10 1850. 1t is understood that heavy
purchases chiefly of March cotton were made
to cover sales for account of parties in Liver
pool but after the foreign demand had
been satisfied there were not buyers to abb
sorb the offerings and sellers were compelled
to make concessions May gradually de
clined to 7.77c and tuctuated sluggishly be-
tween that price and Use during the last two
hours. Just before clock there was a
fee rally and the close was duIl hl,f az
with 779 bid for May. The port receipts to-
day we're again less than last year, but the re-
ceipts for the remainder of the week are ex-
pected to he heavier In comparison. The
trouble with the market now is that the
American spinners seem indifferent about
buying, and that there are too many specula-
tive holders who are tired OF waiting for a
profit, and who may at any time unload either
from choice or necessity at a loss -
