New York. Feb. 27.-Riordan & Co.
say of cotton: Liverpool this
morning paid no attention whatever to
the covering of shorts which caused yes
terdays Improvement here, and sent us a
rather staggering decline. The shorts who
covered yesterday wished that they hadn't
and lost no time in putting out fresh
short lines. The result was a decline to
the lowest prices yet touched, May opening
az 1910, and declining to Z 5Sc. closing al
the bottom, with the tone easy. After the
close May was freely offered at Z Sc The
market seems almost helpless and we fear
that it's tendency is still downward"
New York Feb 27.-The Sun, in it's re-
view of the cotton market, says: Cotton
declined 10 to Is points on this crop and
II to 13 on the next, closing easy with
sales of 222 ECO bales TO-davS featureS-
