houston, Thursday. February 16.
The cotton markets yielded slightly to The
pressure to sell which was reported in New
York and New 0rle;bns But lin spite a
heavy liquidation little impression was made
There was range of to points in ths
fluctuations. but at no time Was any particu-
lar weakness apparent.
Statistics favor the bulls. Instead OF por,
receipts being. MS some weeks back. In the
neighborhcod of 100000 ahead OF last year
they show deficit of 9l55i. Such figures n,
these destroy the influence Ncill has WED d
all through the early part of the sason. AIS
enormous estimates are proving far from cor
rect and hereafter spectators will not be
so apt to sneeze every time the big English
bear takes pinch of snuff.
Liverpool futures closed unchanged. New
York is to . and New Orleans / to points
lower. Spots are all unchanged with sales
OF 12,OO0 bales in Liverpool.

Carglll 6 RIchardson gay of cotton:

Cargll & Richardson say of cotton:
Liverpool did not send us good market
this morning. prices closing there barely
steady full ls-6id lower but spinners' TAX
ings on the spot footed 1900 bales. our mar
hets opened steady. but eased a little later
on weakening Liverpool, but regainsd the
most OF the loss before the close. The wealth
or showed cloudy and cool over nearly the
entire belt, while the movement was still OK
tremely light The ports got few more
bales than Yesterday. but were still $500 less
than last week. and 1900 less than last year
The estimates for tomorrow at Houston aud
nlyeston about wo-thirds of last year.
Trading was confined principally to local
operations, although considerable realizing
was INDUCED in by outside longs New York
had a report that fighting was going Oh in
Peris, but there is little apprehension that
anything serious will come CT 1t. The cotton
market has every appearance Of reacting 10
TO 70 points. but each decline finds new buy
ors to take the ofciings. So Long as this
condition exists no serious decline is likely
Spots some easier and demand entirely lin
tied to American spnners Europe buying
at lower prices from the stocks at Liverpool
hayre and Bremen. Quotations were firm and
unchanged.
