New York Cotton Market.

New York, Feb. u.-Speculation in cot ton continues an active scale, acceler- ated to a very considerable degree by a movement on the part of the smaller traders on both sides of the account to liquidate their interest in anticipation of tomorrow's holiday immediate following to protect the danger from open accounts. The market opened steady, with prices point lower to points higher, and pur- sued an irregular but generally upward course, at best showing an advance of SO 10 points, and closing steady at a net ad- vance of 4@6 points. The total sales for the day reached 249 300 bales, and for the week 1,501 100 bales, this representing the most active business in cotton futures for many months past. Houses with Liv- erpool and continental connections sold freely this morning, but turned active buy1 CTS later. Southern spot cotton markets were decidedly firm; exporters and Amer ican spnners were reported to be in active competition for supplies.
