New York, Jan 25.-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton to-day: This was another day OF sur
| prise, and in the cotton market Liverpool
| treated our advance OF yesterday with pro-
/ VOKlng indifference, and our opening was at a
| decline of points, the first sales of March
being at Z 76c. For time the temper OF the
trading was undecided; but before the end of
the first hour the tone had become firm, and
another advance very similar to that
| of yesterday, followed. The buy
ing was general and seemed con-
Jagious though nobody could give any special
reason for wanting to buy. The receipts were
again very large indeed, as compared with
this day last year but vague belief was ex-
pressed that the interior movement is about
to show signs of exhaustion. Whatever the
| reason, the buying was very spirited, and the
demand did not slaoken until March had
| climted to 1888 Then there were realizing
sales, under which prices receded a few points
The close was STEADY, with 1888 bid for March
the course of the market in the
| immediate future is matter of great doubt;
| all the causes that occasloned the recent de-
| cline are still operative and seem to US to
| have increased force. But speculation often
battles calculation, and it may be that the
| market will swallow the big receipts and ad-
! vance in spite of everything. We hope so,
| but ii is hardly safe to count upon further
| advance until the movement falls of. Mean
time we advise our friends TO accept any
! profits they can get, either upon long or short
