New York. Feb 1s.-Riordan q co. say
Of cotton to-day: Dizziness seems to hove
again become the chief characteristic of
the cotton market. To-day the trading
was pronounced feature Liverpool sd
vanced one-half-slxty-fourth which was
considered sufficient, and our market open
ed unchanged The movement for the
week was enormous. but attracted no in
terest. No reports from the South indi-
Gated but little disposition on the part OF
holders there to accept prices, and there
was no pressure TO sell here. Some local
short covering caused prices to advance
a little after the opening. May opened at
G 04c, lost one point, then advanced to G.cec
and closed al 6.06c to 6.07c with tone of
a mn.
