New York, Nov 12sLThe action of the
cotton market was anything but satisfac-
tory to the rank and file of the bulls.
Starting steady with prices 2 points lower
to points higher there was an interval of
hesitation Immediately following call, aft
err which the market slumped badly. The
spot market at Liverpool seemed to have
cut loose from the market for futures
the latter showing net advance of 102
points instead of the net advance of 5
points that was expected while spot cot
ton showed a gain of 1-16d, and reported
sales of $1,000 bales. Heavy receipts at
ports and interior towns contributed to
the weakness here, with the amount COM
ing insight considerably in excess of early
estimates. The failure of yesterdays
frost predictions to materiaize in the
cotton belt was another element of weak
ness. At the lowest level prices showed
a loss of 1906 points, with the market
finally steady, at a net loss of 11@14 points.
Sales to-day were the heaviest in many
months.

New York Nov. 12.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: 1.-The rise in cotton yes
terday was apparently a flash in the pan.
Prices We're tumbing to-day. Liverpools
response to Yesterdays advance here was
a rise of 212-64d In that market. The OPEN
ing here was steady at from unchanged
prices to points lower. These figures
proved to be the highest of the day. The
report that a well-known and much -quoted
crop estimator would raise his minimum
estimate of the yield to 10,750000 bales,
started prices downward Enormous in
terror receipts, a more favorable bureau
report than expected, heavy long liquida,
ton and some timid bear raiding. kept
them going. AT no time during the day
did the market show any strength.
1.-The bureau report estimated the yield
of lint per acre at 1919 pounds. From
these figures bulls and bears made widely
different estimates The movement for the
week was heavy.
January opened at 5.SSc, declined TO
5.71e, advanced to 574c, declined to 5.68c
and closed at $3.50 to 5.7Oc, with the tone
of the market steady The good feeling
in the market has entirely disappeared
and lower prices are predicted as a GER
