view YorI. Cotton Market.

New York, November 10. - The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
2al4 points Following much better cables
than looked for, the market ruled fairly
active, but soon sold off. After the first
call the market gave way on indications
of heavier port receipts than estimated,
while later English adv!ces were less ia
vorable than carly accounts. There was
some investment buying during the fore
ppon but the outside support was not UP
TO expectations and the liquidation which
set in caused a net loss of 1d3 points by
noon. During the afternoon the market
was quiet and without new features and
closed steady net unchanged TO points
lower. Sales III 900 bales

Dry Goods Mnrket.

New York, November 10--Evidences of
continued weakness in the dry goods mar
ket prevail. Concessions are being made
constantly in nearly all lines of cotton
textile fabrics. These reductions show
second hand dealers to effect a movement
in stocks early as possible. The unsea-
sonah.e weather conditions are the pri-
mary cause of depression In the market
The depression is also felt in wooden and
wcrsted fabrics. In staple cottons tho
business passing has been of very light
proportions. The export demand is also
very light. Print cloths 2 sic.

Violet & Coz. Review.

New York. November 10.-Atwood Vio-
lett & Co say: There was a decided dis.
position here this morning to take the In
itiative for an advance that might be car
ried. 1t was thought. 10 to Is points higher
than last right. The buying of January.
March and May at the Improvement that
was established was very considerable, be-
lieving that Liverpool would follow this
better feeling. Instead however, that
market declined and the early buyers be-
came sellers forcing prices several points
below last night. The Improvement proved
to be an artificial one, as It was without
the necessary spot strength to make II
permanent without which, as we Gave
freauent.y, pointed out. it Is useless to at
tempt bul movements. With the excep-
ton of temporary gains nothing is accom-:
plished and the start has to be made all
over again Any further material decline
will probably be continuously resisted. A
decline of 20 paints now means relatively
much more than the same decl.ne with
Gotten a cent or two higher. Evidently
what is needed on this side Is Liverpool
and Continental support, which is as yet
not forthcoming.
