| cotton to day: Liverpool to-day was practi-
cally unchanged, and during the latter part of
the dav, prices we're a point or two higher
/ than yesterdays closing; but towards the
close when the market was very dull and
prices showed tendancy to sag. the bears
| took advantage Of the absence of buyers to
offer rather freely and succeeded in depressing
values few points. January opened at 6.S4c
and after selling at 6S5c, closed at 6 79Gl6SUc
with the tone barely steady. The bears are
| relying upon large receipts and continuously
favorable crop accounts to force prices lower.
! There is now large and very nervous short
interest IN the market and this is liable to
| turn any chance rally into a sharp advance
! To-day prices we're the lowest yet touched
! and while they may go lower, we cannot ad-
| wise short sales. We would rather buy and
take the chances OF reaction.
