Co. say of cotton to-day: The same
liquidation which has been in progress in
our markets for the past month continued
to-day between the outside interests, VINO
have been long andfthe Liverpool short
interest. We estimate. fully 5000 bales
have been bought here for European ac-
count during the morning and the demand
has been supplied by the longs. who are
apparently willing to accept the present
prices for their holdings. In Liverpool and
here the feeling continues bullish, while
the outside liquidation appears 10 be bas'
ed on the increase in the movement of tho
crop. The situation in the absence of an
