citadel and put down prices? Some profess to believe so. But for all that the an nouncement that some of the mills in NeY Hampshire and elsewhere are to run on half time was not without it's effect. It is well known that cotton goods are dull, and have been dull for long. period while prices have been steadily declining. Continued selling by Liverpool, local and southern liquidation and a weak closing across the water were features. Weld & Co. and other commission houses continue to. sell. Ger man houses here are understood to have sold again in Liverpool. They have been doing that it. appears, for several days past. In the first trading in cotton today there was a moderate advance, as the Liv- erpool advices were more favorable than had been expected, while the receipts at Galveston, Houston and Memphis were small, but later on Liverpool weakened, and the budget of other bearish news depressed the price. There is still tendency here to oversell the market, however, and especial ly the market for the new crop months, but they showed more strength than this crop. The shorts are the most reliable buyers in the market. Manufacturers can put of buying for a, good while, but the shorts have to come to time within specified limits. f..

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter,

New York, Feb 2S.-(Special )-Liverpool showed further weakness today, and prices here sank to the lowest point yet touched in the decline. May opened at 7.62 and closed at 7.54, with the tone quiet. At one time today the market showed disposition to rally, but the firmness was short lived, a reaction of 3 or points bringing out heavy selling orders. The market should be over sold. A scare among the shorts may at any time cause temporary advance, but we can see nothing in the outlook at present to encourage investment buying.
