! New York, Feb. 26.-Riordan g. Co. say of
| cotton today: The lowest prices for cotton
| so far reached in the long decline were re-
! corded to-day. Liverpool showed great
| weakness and the Sc ling out of weak longs
continued, giving the market in the first hour
| o very helpless appearance. May opened 5
! points lower, at Z. 49, and the decline continued
| until 1t had touched 7,5, That price for
| time at least seemed to mark the end of the
| R;eat liquidation. The offerings suddenly
| shrank, and buyers were compelled TO ad-
vance their lids in order to secure cotton.
! There we're occasional reactions OF a few
| points but the general tendency continued
| upward until May had sold at $50, II points
! ABOVE the lowest The close was firm,
with 7.49 bid for May. The sharp rally
was due almost entirely to the covering OF
| shorts. There does not yet seem to be much
| disposition TO buy cotton for Investment. and
| we fear that when the short sales have ali
| been covered the market Will azain sag for
| lack of support We favor sales upon all
| good rallies
