Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. pecial.)-Depressing influences ruled the cotton market today Liverpool was lower, holders seemed tired. buying orders were scarce and many orders were received from farmers in the south to sell October, November and December, against the crops they expect to make next fall. In this way they have secured beyond all peradventure a remunerative price for every bale they can raise, and their minds being freed from all doubt and anxiety as to the course of prices they are free to de- vote their whole attention to making their crop as large and as economically raised as possible. March opened at SOP, rallied to SOi, declined to. zS6. and closed at thezl low est of the day, with the tone quiet ana steady Unless Liverpool should come to the rescue tomorrow, it looks now as if we shall have lower prices.

New York. Jan. N.-The course of busl- ness in the dry goods trade today has thrown no new light upon the general situa- ton. There has been a moderate amount of buyers in the market, but their attention has been devoted almost entirely to taking care of immediate requirements, and little has transpired in the way of contracts for future deliveries of staple lines. Buyers arc waiting. and perforce sellers must wait, too. opinion that with one obstacle out of the way business would speedily improve. The financial situation is the drawback. Mean
