Now York, February 1l.-Opcrations in cotton futures were restricted to mus, uaiiy rnlall proportions today, md prices kept within narrow bounds, Taken sa a whole 1t was a day of professional set dement's in view of tonorrows holiday. The public contributed few struggling orders only, and foreign professional in- terests were smaller at most On the first call the market was steady, points high CT to points lower. X brief period of nominal steadiness Mss followed by a gradual decline under selling for both accounts by pit operators and abse nee of support from any quarter. Conditions were rather favorable to higher ma rkct at the start. but tho trade wes lndifrer- cnt. Bullish Liverpool cables anl small receipts were disrcgardcd. Interior town receipts were rather larsrr than expected and m!ll rtnoYts lhdi,i.ind ! d;gc ppa:at- mept among spinn,s These lattor inlu- encts caused unloading of cotton and scnlpins short sales. Under this pressure values worked qui.e steadily though slowly downward, and at no time during the session was there evidence of recu- pcrative energy. sne culation was partie- ularlyf slow during the afternoon, with Q tru6 'inobservance between room longs and shorts. The mer'st was finally bnrc- ly atcady, with prices not idfis points lower.

southeastern districts of the colony to
check the invasion of rabbits from South
Australia has been pronounced success.
The felines destroyed immense numbers

cleared the squatters' runs of rabbits. In
