New York, Feb. 2.-Spot cotton here de- clined 1-16c with sales of 224 bales for spin- ming; 1,9O0 were delivered on contract. Mid ding TAG against SAC last year; New Or leans and gulf 71ac against SIC last year.
 The speculation in cotton today almost came to a standstil The trading was intensely dull and featureless and fuctua- tions in prices were few and unimportant. while the total sales for the day were a mere !sbagatelle. Prices declined slightly during the morning session on disappointing Liverpool advices and selling by local longs. Before the close part of the loss was re- covered owing to the absence of pressure to sell. The comparatively small interior movement for the week was favorable fac- tor and induced some buying. New Orleans bought here and Liverpool both bought and sold The weekly receipts at thirteen in- terior towns were estimated at 23 900 against 1000 last week and 22,000 last year. It was reported that the plan to curtain the pro- duction of $500, 900 spindles at Fall River for thirteen weeks had gone itno effect but this had little if any influence on the market as it is estimated that curtailed produc- ton will lessen the consumption of cotton only 25,000 bales maximum for the thirteen weeks.

New York Feb 2-The cotton market was anything but an interesting one. There was no features to stimulate activity on the part of operators on either side and the day was but a repetition of the dull days of last week. The Liverpool cables this morning reported an easier market for futures and a decrease in the volume of spot sales. a The market here opened at decline of 2 points, the first sales of March being made at 7.05. Moderate selling for Liverpool account was again a feature and after the opening prices sagged until March had sold at 7.01. But the receipts were small and if there was no speculative demand there was also little or no pressure to sell and the market closed heavy, with TOP bid for, March. The transactions on the exchange today were lighter than on any previous day in the recent dull spell
