New York, Jan. 13.-There was a let-up
in speculative activity in the cotton flu
lures to-day, and considerable talk around
the opening of a "toppy" market. The
general market bearings, however, We're
quite as substantial as at any time since
the late rise began. Fluctuations narrow
ed down to a matter of points. The first
call developed a steady feeling, and while
starting at a decline of l point, finished at
an advance of 2.
Following The call there was a further
general improvement of 2a3 points, but
the market was al no time particularly
active. Certain Wall street houses con-
tributed TO the confidence of smaller longs
by continuing TO buy with liberal hand.
The speculative public at large also SEEM
ed inclined to buy, when trading al all.
The upward movement in prices was ar
rested by light selling for foreign and
Southern accounts and by realizing by
some of the smaller bulls in the local
market and a few outsiders, who consid-
cred the market to be oversold. In the
afternoon the scalping fraternity had the
market mostly to themselves; but were
afraid 10 sell, although inclined to look for
some reaction to follow what they claim Is
probable in the way of a liquidation move
ment. The market was finally quiet and
steady, 8 points lower to 2 points higher.

New York, Jan. 13.-Paine, Murphy &
Co. say Of cotton: Gables closed 15d low
er for futures, with sales of 1900 bales
spot cotton. The opening here was TO 2
points higher, and the situation unchang-
ed from yesterday with the exception OF
the greater influence the adverse weather
conditions had upon the market. Port re-
ceipts estimated $1,000 bales, against 80, 900
bales last year. While the tendency was
upward, there was little change in quota
tons, and the market became extremely
duh. The Wall street crowd were the best
buyers.
New York, Jan. 13.-Hubbard Bros s,
Co. say Of cotton: The extreme dun
ness of the market has contrasted strong
~ with the activity Of the past few days.
Recent buyers appear to have accumulat-
ed ali they wish to carry, and Liverpool
continues selling here There is a slight
evidence of increasing receipts during che
coming week"
