New York, March 10-The disposition to
liqudate long contracts, recently apparent
in cotton trade circles was the feature
of to-day's rather small market. Caution,
however, was characteristic of all classes
of traders, and the volume of business
was not great The scope of fluctuations
was a matter of points, this being shown
only on the more active positions. The
market opened steady at unchanged prices
to a decline of point, and, after a period
of apathy, became suddenly weak and
lower under an avalanche of local long
stuff, which was dislodged by late unfa-
vorable cables most gratifying weather
reports, predictions for marked increase
in receipts, and an absence of outside
support. Rumor had it that the Southern
spot markets had taken an easier turn,
and that on all sides planters were max
ing Herculean efforts TO catch up In field
work This array of adverse influences
induced a number of the leading shorts
to increase their interests, in an endeavor
10 stampede their opponents. In the aft
ernoon covering was INDUCED in quite

a net loss of 507 points, with the market
easy in tone.

New York. March 10,-Hubbard Bros. &
Co say of cotton: Manchester has been
a large buyer in Liverpool to-day, but the
increase in the receipt at the interior
towns, over last week, started a iquida-
ton of long cotton which gradually fore
ed the market lower, as the offerings ex-
ceeded the buying orders. This liquidation
was in the nature of a surprise to the
trade, which has thought the develop
ments in the situation were of such a char
acter as TO attract buyers rather than TO
induce liquidation. Commission houses
continue 10 receive consignments of cotton
and March deliveries show more weakness
than of late
