| New York, Oct. 22.-The cotton market
| started with the advantage of encouraging
cable advices from Liverpool, futures there
| holding an advance of 2-64d, but later the
| feeling here became weak and unsettled !;
! liquidation became active. After opening
| quiet, but firm at an advance of 2d4 points,
| prices declined soil points. The selling
was led by a prominent house with wide
| spread connections, but said to be largely
| for Wall street account. About the only
! support the market had was in the way
| of buying to cover short contracts. The
/ low price at which cotton is selling at
tracts good deal of attention, but while
receipts are so heavy and while consum-
ers of cotton at home and abroad confine
! their taklngs to actual necessities, invest
| ment buying continues to show marked
hesitation The market closed steady at a
| net decline of Gas points.

| New York, Oct. 22.-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton: "The movement of cotton for the
| week was enormous, and this, together
with predictions of very heavy move
ment next week. sent prices downward to-
| day Liverpool advanced 2-64d this morn
| ing This was regarded as an encourage

4 points higher, January selling on the
! first call at 6.15c. After the opening the
! sellers were largely In the majority anG
| prices began TO give way. New Orleans
| sent liberal selling orders here, as well as
! kilograms of a bearish nature. In the af-
| ternoon a prominent concern, identified
! with the bull side, was liquidating heav-
! lily on all declines. However, the demand
was brisk, and considering the amount
of liquidation, the break was not a great
one January declined to 6.04c, and closed
at that figure, with the tone of the mar
ket steady. In view of the heavy receipts
! and the prevailing bearish sentiment, some
| further temporary decline is not unlikely"
