COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
Liquidation Of Tired Longs Caused
Further Weakness.
THE BEARS AGAIN POUNDED PRICES
Eight to Twelve Points Lost at New
York and New Observation-Disclosures
spots Went on One-cighth.
Office of The Post,

Cotton futures today reached a position
| about 10 points lower than has been pre-
viouslv recorded at any time during the
| tire season. May deliveries sold at &c
| last December advanced TO 100 at enc
time In January. and today sold down to
6Sl. The decline since last Saturday has
been 25u26 points on the summer months
at New York and New DREAMS. The fail
positions have lost 2lG22 points at New
York end is points at New Orleans.
Tcday's less In the American speculative
me- ets was S to IL points and was rl,lin-
ly due to the liquidation by worn out and
weary longs. who discovered that dullness
and stys<.Stion do not always terminate in
a bullsh movement. The beers took ad-
vantage OF the weakened condition OF the
market and pounded prices heavily. They
were given encoura cement by the daily
receipts being somewhat larger than ex-
pected and tho fact that spot cotton was
being offered at 1-1jglsc decline in south
ern markets.
There were some favorable features in
the daily statistics. but they didn't seem
to aid the bulls. Exports. fer Instance,
were quite large. exceeding the port re-
ceipts by 1000 bales. In five days this week
the clCNrances for Great Britain France
and the continent have been lO2,OU bales,
against s567S last year. United States
Bort stocks have decreased 1900 bales
for the week and are now only ,432
bales. or lust 97.495 greater than at this
time last year.
Liverpool futures were rather dsappoint-
ing this morrtng, opening auiet and clos
ing I-6id lower than yesterday. Spots
were reduced 1-32d on the low grades.
while nidd.ng and the higher grades
were unchanged.
New York futures opened steady. with
6.S5 hid for March. BY noon the price
had dropped to 6.Sl and during the after
loon sold down to 6.16. Final figures
were 67SM6.79. against 6Nd5.S yesterday
Nav opened at 500, but fell to $50 by 2:33.
closing at 6.9lu6.92.
In New orleans. futures opened barely
STEADY. with March Offered at $50. The
first sale was at 66s and from this point
the price gradually reccded until SIS was
reached Final figures were 6.5yWj.6J
against 6.70n6.u yesterday. May sold at
8 ~ early In the session. but dropped to
go before the Close.
New York and Savannah reduced spots
1-l6c and Houston quoted all grIdeS isc
lower.
