COTTON.
New York, Dec 16.-The phases Of
the cotton market We're not generally
satisfactory, yet the situation developed
q stubborn resistance that excited con-
siderable comment. Adverse accounts
from Fall River were supplemented by
sdvices from New England cotton spin
ming districts at large, pointing to 10 per
cent reduction on the wages of cotton
operatives throughout New England,
with the possibility, if not the probable
ity of a general strike.
In addition to this, Liverpool cable ac-
counts We're disappointing. Following
the first call, which showed dull mar
ket, with prices / point higher to / point
lower the changes were very narrow
and the local situation became quite
featureless and uninteresting, almost en-
tirely destitute of outside speculative IN
terest, and also without the recent
steady investment buying that has been
disposed to take advantage of all weak
intervals. Local traders had the market
ell to themselves, without knowing what
to do with it. At noon the market was
dull at about yesterdays closing prices,
and for the rest of the day ruled slow
and featureless, closing steady at I'M
changed prices to 2 points net lower.
