THE STAPLE AT NEW YORK.
New York, Jan. THE cotton market
opened firm at a decline of 203 points.
AT the weakest intervals showed loss
of 2G5 points and at best prices, n de-
cline of 102 points, closing dull at de-
cline of 2(l5 points. Total sales, $500
bales. The weakness of the market
was primarily the result of disappont-
ing cables, supplemented by an overrun
of receipts as compared with estimates.
1t was the general opinion this morning
that the total at the ports for the week
will not reach 100000 bales, despite the
full figures of today and predicted full
movement for tomorrow and that the
amount to come into sight this week will
fall below the movement of 1872, the cor
responding week AS an offset to the
visible supply and the days full receipts
there has been any amount of talk point
ing to widespread decrease in the ac-
reage next to be planted and 40 per
cent curtailment in the amount OF fer
tilizers to be used. The increase in re-
ceipts is particularly noticeable at Gal
weston, New Orleans and Houston. The
latter is booked for 10000 bales tomor-
row, against 5000 bales last year; Gal
weston is estimated at q corresponding
gain. The fact that the New Orleans
market will be closed tomorrow has led
to some covering, but as rule the run
of receipts has led the shorts to in
crease rather than diminish their in
terest in the market. The spot mar
ket in the South has not given any sup
port to the bulls. Private cables say that
the English markets are kept weak by
free offers from the South.
