New York. Feb. 20.-Liquidation was the
order Of the day OF the Cotton Exchange.
and the market, after opening at a decline
Of 20l4 points, ru.ed irregular and gener-
ally weak; at one time showed a net loss OF
7Q10 points, when selling was arrested on
indications OF bullish speculation In
stocks and grain, while the general list OF
influences were for the most part, quite as
bullish as heretofore, hardening tenden-
cy being reported for spot cotton at Liver
pool which Offset IN a measure the net
1Q11s-64 decline in futures in the English
market. Al the same time an advancing
tendency was reported for print cloths and
for Southern spot markets. the latter being
actuated by a good demand from American
spinners as wen as from exporters.
During the forenoon selling for short ac-
count was a feature, which subsidized later
in the day when there was little dlsposi-
ton to cover. The general undertone of
the market was not steady, however as
more or less realizing kept up on estimates
of increased receipts tomorrow, and indl-
cations OF better weather throughout the
cotton belt. Another bearish influence
was a report TO the effect that the Man
chester market FOR three weeks past had
been duh and very spotty; that trade. all
around. had fallen below production; that
offers were low on cloth. and that Eastern
inquiry had been good, but at low prices.
