mand. salea l20oo bales. Manchester reported
cloths and yarns Arm and In fair demand
our markets opened points lower In New

declined 10 points from the highest of yester
day, with the close ! to points up from
1 the lowest. There was slight rally OF to 4

good support was given the market and hest

Liquidation by sealpcrs OF cotton bought IN

| frost came and cotton which had been bought
| in expectation OF It was sold on the roaiga-
