COTTON WAS WEAK.

New York, Dec. 14.-The cotton mar
ket opened weak and excited today
following a break in Liverpool Of Az
points and much heavier receipts at
ports than were looked for Near
months declined six to fifteen points
and far months eighteen to twenty
five points on call. Light local buy
ing at opening was soon satisfied and
general liquidation set in, prices
dropping two and three points at a
time. Buying orders caused a re-
action of eight points at 1870 a. M,
but late Liverpool news showed fur
Their declines and the local market
again fell to the extent of five points.
The drop in Liverpool is attributed to
heavy receipts at ports and large
New York offerings abroad. During
the first hour trading was very active
and excited, sales amounting to 1885,
600 bales. At IL o'clock the market
was weak and nervous at a net de-
cline of twenty to twenty-one points.
