Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy 6 Co.
 Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 19.-Liverpool opened this morning with prices quiet and steady; spots unchanged and futures ir- regular to E lower; sales today, 7,OOO, of which 6,000 were American. The closing prices were practically unchanged. Our market opened l to 4 points under yester- days closing and ruled narrow throughout the entire session, closing at a loss of about points for the day. Speculation in cotton has been decidedly less active and the buoyancy of last week has partly disap- peared. The movement of the crop, as in dicated by our telegrams from the south for the week ending this evening shows the receipts almost as low as last year, but generally state that considerable cotton is still on plantations We do not look Tor much activity in this market for the pres ent owing to the all absorbing interest centered in the wheat market. Sales today, CT 800 bales.
