eiler &, Co. say OF cotton: The strong sur
rounding Of tho cotton market undergoes no
change In its underlying strength. yet there
is an entire absence OF speculation except for
Liverpool lower, both for spots and futures,
and Il Is reported that New York was a large
seileI on the Liverpool market During the
early trading hours cur market showed de-
cline OF points. all OF which were recovered
In the afternoon upon fresh buying orders
and rumors Of more favorable news from the
seat OF war. Receipts continue light and
stocks are diminishing. Spot markets in the
interior remain strong and all financial back
ing needed Is being extended. An interesting
feature is the difference between current
months In Liverpool and the future months,
the prevailing difference being account OF
tho strength OF the spot market. The local
spots closed quiet and unchanged.

New York. January l5.--Atroos Violet &
Co. say Of cotton: Liverpool should have
learned by this time that attempted manipu-
lation like that OF today In dropping spot
and contract quotations With nothing to jus
tiiy Il on this side is only for the purpose OF
alarming some timid spot holders In this
country. The Manchester Cotton Journal OF
the 9Th instant says: THE reduction in Lty-
erpool stock OF American cotton is causing
considerable anxiety. It is alleged that much
OF this stock Is low grade" They further
say though; AT present the mainstay OF the
market is the continued small receipts, aud
even should the crop be less than 1000
speculative sentiment may carry prices up
further" They DO not entertain the idea OF
less than $500 600 bales. but when they do
begin to realize-this they will very shortly
that the prospect is for 1900 900 less than
that figure there will be conditions at Liver
pool and on the continent quite out Of the
usual The market Will advance rapidly and
decidedly, and II the South wishes to par
ticipate in the benefits OF these conditions
which We confdentislly look for, they have
only 10 hold their cotton to realize these
fruits

Individual causes which affected special stocks
we're for the most part depressing ones. and
the sympathy Of the general market was to-

movement OF the day was in Metropolitan

served to explain last weeks depression IN
