New York, Feb 3-Liouidaiion was the
order of the day at The Cotton Exchange
in keeping with the general selling move
ment for realizing purposes, apparent on
| the Stock Exchange, the Produce Nv
change and other speculative centers Yet
influences apart from the leading weak
ness shown by the English market wers
| quite as bullish as at any time. However
the market opened irregular and easy at
a htN4lut VI " D BOfltS, ana broke sharp
~ until the trading level was to 10 points
below the closing figures of yesterday.
At times The market looked as If il was
going TO pieces, but the short interest were
not inclined TO increase their responsible
ties; some of the bears took advantage
of the decline to cover, especially in view
of the bullish influences which included
light actual and prospective receipts at the
ports, continued very bad weather in the
h-Ns
markets, continued good accounts from
spinners as TO orders and outlook, favor
able reports from the dry goods trade
more predictions from The South Of cur
tailed acreage, and scant use of fertilizers.
At the decline quite a number of buy
ing orders made their appearance, and
with the air clarified through the liqulda-
ton of some of the weaker long accounts,
there was a much steadier feeling while
the friends of The staple believe that the
market was in a healthier position than
for some time, and they bought with some
degree of freedom in the afternoon.
May contracts sold OFF to 6.OOc, and Au-
gust declined to 6.o5c. this representing
decline of about 25 points since the mar
ket turned from the highest prices devel-
oped on the upward movement. During
The late afternoon the various phases of
the cotton market here were better. Cow
to light The market closed steady a.
net loss of / to points.
