New York, Dec. 11.-Riordan & Co say
of cotton to-day: 1.-THE remarkably dull
spell i'm cotton. doubly remarkable, con-

iorotell. AT each point down, large or
ders to buy are encountered, but the min
ute prices begin. to recover the demand
utterly disappears. The announced de-
termination of Fall River manufacturers

rounding cotton manufacturing in the
east.
The outlook is practically unchanged
