New York. Feb. l9.-RiOrdan & Co. say OF
cotton to-day: The dulness that has pre-
vailed in the cotton market so far during
| February was more marked than ever to-day.
There was no demand for spots, and specula-
tion seemed utterly Frustrated. The 6uctu-
atoms Of the day we're within a range of only
points 7.S2 and 10 being the highest and
lowest prices at which there were transac-
tiOns in May deliveries. The close was dull
with no bid for May Traders have about
made up their minds that the crop is small
and that cotton at present prices is not dear.
but the business outlook is so dis, ouraglng and
the prospects of improvement are so uncer-
tain that there is no incentive at the moment
to buy cotton, and those who have bought
would like to get rid of their holdings. If
they could do so without loss. Liverpool
does not seem inclined to relieve us of the
load OF long cotton under which our market
is staggering. and unless something turns up
speedily to stimulate speculation lower
prices seem inevitable. The receipts. how
ever, continue on an exceedingly moderate
scale, and the bears are evidently timid ABOUT
taking the aggressive. They prefer the
more cautious policy OF letting the market
fall under its own weight, Friday next is
notice for March deliveries, and as there Is
large speculative holdings OF March the
forced liquidation win PROBABLY depress that
month, if not the whole list. We advise our
friends who have bought March to lose no
time in transferring their ventures to May
or some later month"
