New York. Dec. There was a DIM
market for cotton at advance of lie on the
first CALL after which changes were very
narrow, the most active positions being
CcHllHeu 10 a range OF 3uS points, with the
market at the close fairly steady at the
lowest level of the day, a net decline of
ga points. Sellers were disposed 20 be
conservative, on fears that bearish crop
conditions may have been over-discounted
in present exceptionally low prices In the
afternoon the market WAS weakened by
larger offerings of cotton from the south
The leading commission houses were seen
to be quietly buying on all weak intervals
to-day, and gradually the absorbings Of
weaker parties.

New York, Dec l.--Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: THE tendency of the
cotton market was steadily downward To-
day. Each point however, was bitterly
contested and the net decline was small
Liverpool was practically unchanged this
morning and our market opened at last
nights closing figures, January selling on
the hrst call at 51Oc. Liverpool sent some
selling orders here and the bears plucked
up sufficient courage TO raid a little. and
people with large spot connection sold
heavily. Against this the buyinQ was nv
the commission houses There was deeid-
edly more disposition to sell than for some
prevented a break Receipts were COM
paratively light, but the south was offer
ing cotton more freely. January declined
TO 5.65c and closed at that figure with the
tone Of the market barely steady Unless
