New York Jan. 6.-Riordan & Co. say
Of cotton to-day: Cotton was very dull
Today, although until just before the
close, the markent showed great deal
Of stubborn strength, and 1t looked IS
Il prices might advance. March opehes'
at S03c, rallied to S.0Sc and then reacted;
II was not, however, until the last halI
hour that there was any pressure to sell;
some of the German bears then ohereu
small lots and March weakened, CLOS
ing at S.01d802c, with the tone quiet Inc Inc
attention of traders was occupied win
The financial tangle to the neglect OF cot
ION and the light receipts were shorh
or their natural effect"
