New York, Feb. 4.-Speculation in cot
ton continues to hang fire. The cotton
market opened with something like a bull
flourish, following a better class of Eng
lish cables than had been looked for, and
there was some energy shown by the
shorts, who soon changed 'front.' however
when they discovered that outside buying
orders were not forthcoming. Liquidatio
set in, and the advance of 1 to points
| secured on the first call was lost before
! noon. Trading became very quiet, and all
I most entirely local. Sales for the entire
| session reached only 3d. 1906 bales. The mar
| ket closed quiet at net unchanged prices,
at / point advance. The net change for
the week is only point.

New York, Feb. 4.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: THE solitary interesting
feature of the cotton market to-day was
it's utter indifference to the weeks move
ment, which was enormous. and far In ex-
cess of that i'm the same week in 1895 An
| advance of y point in Liverpool stimulated
| prices a little at the opening and the mar
1yaf he
| ing. the trading became extremely listless
and the fluctuations were within very
| narrow limit. May opened at 5.SSc, de-
clined to 5.S1c, and closed at 5.S2c to $3.50,
with the tone of the market steady. The
continued dizziness discourages both bulls
! and hare
