New York, Jan. 4.-RiOrdan & Co. say
ol cotton to-day: The first days of the
new year have brought small encourage
ment TO the friends of cotton. The sup
Bort which Liverpool mas lately given 10
Iae market has collapsed and the buying
power at the moment seems to be limited
~ me demand to cover shorts. March
Cu-ddy opened at S09c, slowly Sagged to
euSc and closed at S.04c bid, with the tone
gulet and steady. The deplorable mess
no which congress has allowed the ma
tlohai finances to drift and the result
a7g loss of confidence in commercial CHI
I.es, seem to have paralyzed the specu-
idsuVe demand for cotton and a feeling
Vi grave uncertainty prevails, whether
ie ,ra
Is altogether irrespective of receipts and
ue ordinary market influences. OF
course, it may happen that the whole sit
eauon will suddenly be changed, either
lor the better or@worse, but meantime the
seheral disposition is to keep close to
snare and to make no new engagement
" Liverpool and Manchester. However,
GIoston is the. equivalent of gold, and
Sonn BulPs ideas about the value of the
6.dple are likely to be governed rather
4 iy prospective supply and demand than
~ any arrangement in the business or
amiahclal affairs of the United States. For
ssus reason, we think the price of cotton
ror the next few weeks will be ruled al
"RTst exclusively by English markets."
