New York, Dec. 31-Riordan q Co. say
of cotton to-day: 1.-The great and unex-
pected strength of Liverpool to-day show
ing an advance of nearly 1854, put a
different aspect upon our market ana
disclosed the existence of a very large
short interest. The rush to cover caused
prices to leap upward. March, Whlcn
opened at S.0Sc, advanced to S.24. A lull
IN the demand caused a rapid reaction,
March declining to Size, did not last long,
and with a renewed demand, there was a
good rally, March closing at S.zIqS.Zzc,
with the tone steady. As Liverpool mas
started the advance we must look TO
Liverpool to sustain it. The January re-
ceipts will probably be on a far more
liberal scale than we had anticipated, and
1t remains to be seen whether they VIII
not chill the new born enthusiasm.
Should the enthusiasm continue unabat-
ed, of course there could be no declines,
but we do not feel confident.

New York, Dec. S1.-The cotton mar

abroad. Manchester trade with India has
greatly improved of late, owing to the

stimulus of Manchester's Improvement.
