New York, Jan. S.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: Light receipts again
failed to stimulate speculative buying to-
day and though the market opened

and the tendency of prices throughout the
day was downward: March opened at
S.2lc, advanced in the early trading to
Sac, declined to S09c, and closed at S.10c
bid, with the tone steady. The uneasi-
ness iii London and sharp fall in British
consols helped the decline, but the root
of the weakness was in the apathy or abb
sence of speculative demand. Unless
Liverpool comes to the rescue with good
recovery, it looks this afternoon as if

caused rise early in the day of 4 to
points, but later on Liverpool reacted
and there was some disturbing reports
about the London stock market. British
consols declined. There was more or less
liquidation, partly on stop orders. Some
of the German houses sold pretty freely,
and prices accordingly receded ana closed
s points lower for the day, with the tone
steady The interior stocks showed
decrease for the week of not quite A.
GOO bales which was a smaller decrease
than same had expected, but 1t must
he remembered that in the corresponding
week of the 6,717,0OO crop year there was
no decrease at all. The interior receipts,
which had been estimated at 10000, proved
70 he II. COO less. The port receipts for
the week fell about 10000 under the esti-
mate of the. early part of the week.
IN Manchester, yarns were firm and
cioths dull. The worst drawback is the
smaIiness of speculation. aside from dis
and abroad The position is strong, but
the narrowness of the speculation Gliti-
gates against the price for the moment
we still believe that cotton should be
nuchssed on the reactions, but we rec
pmmend actions for m lerate turns only,
in view OF the present situation.
