MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
COtton Letter.

New York, Feb. N-(SpeciaL )-Liverpool this morning paid no attention whatever to the covering of shorts, which caused yes- terday's improvement here, and sent us a rather staggering decline. The shorts who covered yesterday wished that they had not and lost no time in putting out fresh short lines. The result was a decline to the low est prices yet touched. May opened at 7.67 and declined to 7.56, closing at the bottom with the tone easy. After the close May was freely offered at 7.59. The market seems almost helpless, and we fear that it's ten dency is still downward.

The big cotton compress transferred
by the Southern Railway from West
Point TO Primers Point will be ready
for operation after the first OF mex;
month.
This compress is considered one of the
finest in this country, and has a capacity
OF 100 bales an hour. Work on the new
plant was begun about September lst
and has continued steadily ever since

AS Is we'll known, but a compa .ativcly
small per cent of the cotton brought here
by the various roads is compressed

and to interior points is shipped as /, ar
rives to save handling 1t is also n fact
that much larger per cent. of the
staple Is compressed in the interior than
formerly ana does not require a second

port has had large influence on the
cotton receipts here. Since September
1st 1T has brought Ia Norfolk 30 G23 haIes

bales. or nearly half the entire amount.
This total is 49,S0l bales greater than

membered that the crop this year is from
