New York. Oct. 29-The cotton market
| opened steady at about yes terday's closing
| prices and ruled irregular with a gener-
| ally weak undertone, declining soil points,
and closing easy at the lowest point, with
sales of 1853 500 bales, to represent a session
| of which liquidation of long accounts was
| the principal feature. The weakness was
| the result of selling by discouraged longs,
| following the Indifference of outs de specu-
| lators The public cables were disappoint-
| ing on the average and advices from prt-
| vate sources in Liverpool indicated de-
| pressed conditions in English spinning cir
| cles and a determination on the part Of
| foreign consumers to avoid stocking until
| there are some signs of returning specu-
| letive competition.

New York, Oct. 29.-Riordan & Co. say
Of cotton to-day: "In spite of light frosts
in Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee, cotton
made new low records to-day. An advance
! of one sixty-fourths in Liverpool was re-
ported Our market opened at unchanged
! prices. January sold on the first call at
| 596c After the opening, prices began to
| weaken and steadily gave way throughout
| the day. Heavy port receipts started the
selling Free offerings by the south re-
| suited in considerable pressure. New Or
leans sold heavily here, and the local bears
| increased Their short .ile. January steadily
! declined to 5S6c, and closed at that figure,
with the tone of the market easy. The
! increment for the week was very heavy.
The decline has not resulted in modifying
! the bearish feeling"
