New York, Oct. 23.-Renewed selling by
'ne longs, much of it forced through mar
slh eXpirations, was a feature of to-day's
cotton market, resulting in a loss of S1
~ points at the weakest intervals, Janu-
airy contracts selling down to $3.50 thus
aSaln breaking the record for this season
ne selling was led by a prominent house
WIN connections all over the country and
III Europe, and especially active for Wall
street account. This concern was an ac-
I'VE seller yesterday, and influenced by
.nelr continued selling to-day, less impor-
NV houses threw cotton over very freely
Inc only support the market got during
,-e prleI session was in the way of buying
~ Snorls. This, just before the close, led
~ rally of 2G3 points from the lowest
I've OF the morning. The market opened
['SE az decline of lag points and further
9ogcihed, as indicated above, with the tone
n"aIly barely steady at a net loss of 6ll7
'.Hts' and total sales of futures of 125,Cc0
ICES The weakness of the market was
,'.-Ieesed by tendency to make larger
t''p estimates and the predictions Of
Ivy receipts again this week
