 Holiday Adjournment.

NEW YORK. Dec. t7.-The cotton market opened eas". 2a5 points lower under scatter ing sales for both accounts and inadequate support from bull operators. Much larger port receipts than expected with talk of small ex- ports were responsible for the carly heaviness. Europe and Wall Street bought in a conservA- tive way at the low prices Wall Street later sold late months Before midday the market had regained the early loss on a movement to cover and a Hull in liquidation News, however. contained little to inspire fresh in vestplent and the chief aim seemed to be in the way of settling accounts for the holidays. English cables were quite in accord with our movement of late yesterday. Continued cold weather in the crop country and forecast indicating no immediate relief from low tenn peratures in a small measure aided the noon market Later profit taking aSain sent prices off to the low point of the day.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. i7.-The influence on Liverpool was reversed today as the South, according to private cables, sold freely in the English market and was said to be responsible for the decline of 2ls-64d in deliveries. Spots were quoted unchanged. The sales amounted to io.o GOO bales, but prices were reported 10 he in buyers favor. There were no developments on this si le to establish tendency to he market either way. Early transactions were in the nature of leisurely long liquidation. the incentive for which was evidently dis covered in a more quiet condition of spots. but renewal of cold weather predictions and the occurrence of snow at various pcint9 Tn Mississippi and Alabama attractnl suT"i"nt demand to maintain comparatively steady tone, Closing quotations are about lq5 points under yesterday
