ders poured in from southern holders anx-
ious to take profits and under the sudden
pressure prices yielded and the whole of
the days advance was lost. March opened
at 712c. advanced to 7l6c and closed to
7.09c with the tone quiet and steady. We
are unchanged in our opinion that the
thing to do is to buy cotton on every break
and to accept moderate profits on rallies"
New York Jan. I.-The Sun says of
cotton: There were no new or inter-
esting developments in the market to-
day The speculation was quiet and To-
cal, and, after fluctuating within a narrow
range, prices closed unchanged as COM
pared with last nights final quotations.
Early in the day prices advanced on high
err Liverpool cables, small receipts at the
ports and some covering of shorts, but
before the close, the Improvement was
lost. Early buyers sold, the estimated re-
ceipts at New Orleans tomorrow We're
larger, there was some talk of a shut down
at Fall River, and in the absence of local
support, prices reacted. The southern
spot markets in most instances were high
er and fairly active and the reduction in
the bank of England's discount rate was
also a favorable feature, but the absence
of local support offset these factors"

DRY GOODS.

New York. Jan 21.-There has been a
fair attendance of buyers in the dry goods
market to-day, of whom a considerable
number have given their attention to
bleached cottons and orders for these were
also a feature in the mail demand As a
result. the aggregate business in staple
cotton has shown an Improvement over
recent experiences Reports from various
jobbing centers tell of a steady and more
or less liberal distribution of strictly
spring merchandise and the business do
ing at first hands bears testimony to their
truthfulness. Some Improvement is also
noted in the wooden goods division.
