New York, Dec. 1.-THE public cables
OF the cotton markets this morning were
sized up as Indifferent, although previous
cables forecasted an increased demand for
spots at Liverpool from Lancashire This
gave our market a steady start with
prices l point better TO l point worse on
the hrst call, as compared with yester-
days closing figures. For the rest of the
session the market was without pro-
nounced feature, while showing a weak
undertone most of the time following dis
couraging Fall River and New England
accounts, generally and without special
active or Investment support to speak Of
The entire swing of the days market was
only matter of 1d2 points, with the tone
finally quiet and steady at unchanged
prices to point lower.

New York, Dec. 17.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: There was no devel-
opment of interest in the cotton market
to-day. Liverpool declined one-haif-sixty-
fourths. Our market opened unchanged
The selling continues to be almost entirely
by houses with large spot connections and
against southern purchases, while the buy
ing is still of a speculative and investment
character. To-day this selling and the
demand about offset each other and the
fluctuations were extremely narrow. The
movement for the week was full January
opened at 567c, declined to $780, recovered
at 567c and closed at that figure with the
tone of the market quiet and steady.
Traders have about concluded that the
dullness will continue until after the ho-
days"
