New York. Jan. 4.-The dry goods market closed With extremely quiet conditions pre- vailing Tn all departments. Neither the spot demand nor mail orders in the aggre- gate have been sufficient to disturb the previous monotony nor to cause any change in the general tone. The week has been dull throughout under the several restric- tive influences of holiday interference, mild weather the uncertain financial situation and the tariff Uncertainties. There has been no sufficient inducement to buyers to depart from their previous conservative policy in staple cotton or in woolen goods
 On the other hand. there has been no temp tation to break prices in staple cottons in

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


 New York, Jan. 4.-lSpecial)-The first days of the new year have brought small encouragement to the friends of cotton. The support which Liverpool has today given to the market has collapsed and the buying power at the moment seems to be limited to the demand to cover shorts March today opened at S.09, slowly stagger- ed to sos, and closed at S.04 bid, with the tone quiet and steady. The deplorable mess into which congress has asked the tional finance to drift and the resulting loss of confidence in commercial circles seems to have paid the speculative demand for cotton and a feeling of grave uncertainty prevails whether present values can be maintained. This is altogether irrespective of receipts and the ordinary market in fuences. Of course it may happen that the whole situation will suddenly be changed, either for the better worse; but mean time the general disposition is to keep close to the shore, and to make no new engage ments for. the Liverpool and Manchester markets however, cotton Is the equival- ent of gold, and John Bulls ideas about the value of the staple are likely to be guided rather by the prospective supply and time than by any derangement in the business or financial affairs of the United States For this reason we think the. price of cot ton for the next few weeks will be ruled almost exclusively by English markets.
