Houston, Friday, January 3.
Tho foreign news did not show quite so
many bullish proclivitles In the English
markets this morning, although Man.
chester accounts were favorable and
Liverpool spots advanced led Liverpool
also seems to have struck a gait OF ~, 900
bales day for spot purchases. which Is
very encouraging feature fos the bulls.
Futures there had downward tendency
during the day. and closed quiet. 2a3-Gid
off.
This decline at Liverpool was not unex-
pected. owing to the weakness shown on
this side yesterday. The American mar
iets began the session with slight ad-
vance. but soon broke, and closed ut a
decline.
While the amount in sight for the week
was quite large--about 10000 NOR. thnn
the corresponding week in lS92--the most
bearish feature was the very noticeable
lack of speculative demand. Sales at New
York and New orleans showed Il consider
able decrease as compared with yesterday
and the day before. Brokers at those
places advised very meager run Of out
side demand
The reports from the South as to a
prospective falling away In the movement
are rather conflicting. but It is generally
believed that January receipts will com
pare very favorably with those Of 1893.
Many claim. however. that the amounts
held back at unaccounted points are
larger than generally supposed.
New York futures opened firm at an
advance OF to 3 points, but soon took a
downward turn and closed steady. G to o
points lower than yesterday. March sold
at S,2i for the highest and closed at S.i0lp
S II, against s1SNS.1o the day before.
At New Orleans futures opened steady
q a < nopta md closed pIlIpf and
steady to s points lower than yester-
day. March sold at sos early in the ses-
sion, but closed at T9s.
Liverpool SPOTS advanced 1-32d. but the
american markets were generally easier.
though very few lowered quotations. Mem
phis and Savannah were Lice OF, but New
York, Houston. New Orleans and Calves
ton were unchanged. Sales were light.
The Houston and Texas Central RAILROAD
reported that stocks at towns on their
road showed total OF $4,000 bales on
January l. against 5000 December /. This
report was wired from here to the lead
ing cotton markets this morning. and no
doubt aided in depressing prices today.
The amount Is considerably larger than
was expected. as the belief was current
that stocks We're next TO nothing in nearly
all Texas towns.
