COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK jan 1o.-COTTON-lt was
a most unsatisfactory day on the Cotton
Exchange for the bulls, while the bears
could hardly bo said to have been thor
oughly successful, owing to the fact that
they repeatedly covered. thus losing con
siderable of the profits which otnerWlse
would have gone to their credit. The
opening was steady. with prices to
points higher on moderate general buy
ing. based on firm Liverpool cables.
The stability in both markets was OF
short duration, however as receipts We're
seen to have piled up far in excess OF
predictions. while selling abroad changed
the situation there. Liquidation rapidly
grew in volume and soon encouraged &C
tive bear hammeflng, under when prices
crumbled at a lively rate. Very little at
tempt was made by holders to check the
decline and shorts during the first hour
were stimulated by talk of &c. cotton TOR
March before Friday.
Later rallies on tiurrieS or covering
served to retard the decline somewhat.
But early in the afternoon weakness
again became prominent, the estimates
for to-morrow'S receipts having over
TONED general ideas, while southern spot
markets were 1-1GM1sc. lower in a number
of instances The singular weakness in
January led to rumors that the contem-
plated squeeze had been abandoned, and
that holders were attempting to get out
before delivery day.
The close was > to points lower.
