New York. Jan. I0-Considering the meager-
ness OF speculation. the cotton market to-day
made some pretty fair fluctuations, without,
however. showing material net changes. The
opening was steady. with prices 3 points higher
to l point lower, and for a brief period held
the advance on support of shorts, who took
profits. But the cables from Liverpool were
nsarsh. while the mOyeme South failed to
keep within the figures estimated. Liquidation
soon gained precedence. and prices slowly fell
away. until a net loss Of . points were in evil
dence- For the rest Of the forenoon the market
was feeble and TO all Appearances destitute Of
reCuperattve energy. Yet Immediately following
the noon hour the rumOrs that to-morrow's re-
ceipts would fan far below the figures expected
started covering. which grew rapidly when New
Orleans buying orders came in in fair numbers.
The appearance Il the official estimates from
New Orleans and Houston confirmed the rumOr
and gave the market additional strength. while
at the same time stimulating buying for a rise.
During the rest OF the afternoon the fluctuations
in prices were small and not especially indica-
tive Of bull or bear aggression The close was
quiet and steady. with prices las points higher.
