opened practically unchanged from last
nights close, prices, and declined about
10 points for the day, closing near the
bottom figures. In consequence of the
continued rainy weather, prevailing
throughout the entire Southeastern part
of the belt, the movement of cotton vas
materially curtailed, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that it would take at least weeks
good weather to get the roads in pass
able condition. Many fields in this section
are yet white, with unpicked cotton,
sight unusual at this season of the year,
and one that will have ats effect when
final count comes. The estimated receipts
of about 34,G00 bales to-day is more than
we expected under weather conditions"
New York Jan. 4.-Hubabrd Bros. &
Co. say of cotton: Realizing by the local
trade and selling from the southwest were
the features. Rain throughout the cotton
belt to-day, to be followed, according TO
the predictions, by clearing cold weather,
was thought to point 10 the end of the
bad weather. The trade thought, with
clearing weather, the movement would in
crease next week and cause decline. This
was the basis for the liquidation to-day.
Receipts at the interior towns were very
light. The Chronicle, editoria.ly, calls at
tention TO the revival in cotton manufac-
turing and believes this crop has been
largely over-estimated. There has not
been the same demand from Wall street
to-day. Local operators feel that the mar
ket has become overbought, and that
reaction must follow. Liverpool did not
sell freely to-day, our small stock, in view
of the large foreign interests, keeping the
immediate deliveries firm.
