NEW YORK, January 4.-Engish cables
hardly met expectations, spot quotations
at Liverpool being scarcely supported,
while the future market there was finally
y point lower. The substantial feature
of the cable news was the continued full
sales TO spinners, to-days aggregate be-
ing 12,OO1 bales. Under this influence the
opening call here started off at a decline
OF point or two, but the feeling became
firmer as the call progressed. with the
finish showing an advance of points ON
the remote positions. Subsequently the
market worked within narrow fuctua-
tons and showed a lack of outside in
terest. Wall street buying, which for
some time past has been a supporting
factor. was not Il feature to-day. Inn
mediately following the call the market
sagged, and at one time showed a loss
OF points. Reports OF less favorable
conditions in southern markets. improved
weather conditions i'm the cotton belt. and
receipts meeting expectations contributed
came a little nervous, and steadied the
market materially, on buying following
indications of light receipts, and con-
tinued cheering accounts from cotton
districts. The market closed quiet and
steady, points higher TO lower.
