New York. Dec. 4-Riordan & Co say of
cotton: '"The liquidation which we have

receipts were on a reduced scale and most
of the traders felt and declared that cotton
is cheap, but these things scarcely awaited
before the torrent of selling orders, against
which the market struggled from the
opening to the close. New Orleans and
Liverpool sold heavily in the forenoon,
and their example was followed by a gen
eral unloading of the local bulls. In the
afternoon prices broke badly. Every body

scarce. January which had sold in the
morning at 74Sc, declined to 7.S1c. The
close was weak, with 73lc bid for Janua-
ry. The fear that there was no telegraph
ic communication with a large part of the
south may have precipitated the decline
and there is much discussion as to how
the opening Of the wires will affect prices.
1t is a fact that only fraction of the long
interest has been iquidated to-day. We
fear further and perhaps serious breaks"
New York Dec. 4.-What Silsby & Co.
say of cotton: "The cotton market open
ed weak this morning, at slight decline
under yesterdays closing prices and ruled
weak throughout the day. closing weak
at a net loss of y to 16 points on the day.
Early Liverpool cables were about / point
under yesterdays close, and another point
was lost during the day. the market clos
ing duh and easy at the decline. Bust
ness with the south remains in crippled
condition, owing to the storm-damaged
telegraph wires and a great deal of long
cotton was thrown on the market by brok-
ers doing business in the south, owing to
their inability to get margins from their
customers, which, in addition to the lack
of southern buyers, gave the bear element
another opportunity to hammer the mar
ket. 1t is also rumored that next week s
receipts will show a decided increase. ow-
ing to the movement having been blocked
by the recent bad weather throughout the
cotton belt. We believe, however, that the
latter argument has been discounted, and
will have but little effect when the south
ern buyers begin buying back against the
orders that were caught to-day, and the
recent shorts start covering We advise
purchases on the first upward turn"
