NEW YORK CoTTON-New York. Feb IT,
The cotton market opened easy with prices
to points lower under heavy realizing
bear hammering and light foreign selling
This marked change in the course of the
market was brought about largely by pro-
nounced weakness at Liverpool, the latter be-
ing ascrfbed by private cables to the death
OF President Faure. Other facts aiding in de-
preston CT the market here included better
weather reports than received in weeks, indi-
cations that receipts would increase with
continuance OF this condition and rumors that
planters were turning their attention to Sc
curing fertilizers as first step towards pre-
pairing for the new crop. On the break the
weaker longs and Southern representatives
Joined in the selling movement, and for
time 1t looked as though a bad slump would
occur. The fact that statistical changes for
the week were strongly bullish and that the
stock market displayed unlocked for strength
tended to restrain overzealous BEARS while
the. appearance of limited buying orders at
each point decline induced scaipers to be
satisfied with the small profits. Futures
