New York, Nov. 4.--Cotton futures made
a new low record again to-day, November
contracts selling at 499c and stll later al
4.9se. The rest of the market followed

ket showed a very fair degree Of activity.

market being already staggered by other
bearish conditions. Local bears made
some effort to recover, and at one time
a prominent concern commenced to cover,
but in view of the heavy receipts and

conditions would have sold lower. but for
the disposition on the part OF operators on
the short side Of the account TO secure
preference. This class of buying caused
a partial rally, following the close of ex-
change advlces from the South, and To-
cal adyices point to very heavy port and
interior receipts for tomorrow and early
next week. The market closed quiet and
steady, at net loss or A TO points.
