New York, Jan. 9.-The new year open
ed with the cotton market very small
one. but the session proved a very fair
ly steady one. Gables were disappointing,
spot cotton showing a downward tendency
and futures a Slight change, which gave
a large range to opening prices here the
first call showing the market quiet, with
prices unchanged to points lower. Trad

in however, especially in the forenoon.
The early loss was recovered on covering,
following forecasts Of wet weather for the
cotton belt, and small interior movement
Of cotton. Wall street buying was easily
the feature. OF the sHail business Done

even The local traders were inclined to act
with caution, and to wait for something
of a positive character 20 confirm or chal-

market The attitude was equally mark
ed by both classes Of traders and az best
the swing of the market was only a small
matter of points for the day, with the
tone finally quiet al net unchanged prices
to two points lower.
