The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARK

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New York, Feb. 9.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady, with near po-
sitions to points higher and re-
mote deliveries unchanged to one point
lower. The action of the early market
was disappointing in view of an adj
vance of 1905 points in the early Liv-
erpool market. Later cables were de-
cidedly unfavorabe and selling became
very active. Tho Liverpool market
not only lost the early gain, but closed
weak and irregular at net loss of
1a@2-64ths. This was too much for the
local market TO stand, and u large
quantity OF long COTTON loosely held
was thrown over. Selling to secure
profits became very heavy, and prices
broke 1925 points. failure was on
cially announced, but had no effect, as
1t was announced that the firm would
meet all obligations Immediately.
About the same time advices reached
the exchange indicating that the
Southern spot markets were not being
influenced by the reaction at Liver
pool and the selling movement at New
York, and that Southern spot holders
were generally bullish on II belief tina t
European spinners were still in n posi-
ton that would force them TO buy
American cotton. On this view there
was active covering and some buying
for reaction. which carried prices
6 to 10 pOirIts UP from the lowest
figures.
The market closed steady at n net
decline of S@11 points.
