THE COTTON MARKET.
Prices Still Depressed by Heavy Long
Liquidation.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The decline in
cotton was due to further heavy long
liquidation, rather long Houston and
New Orleans estimates, declining spot
markets, lack of stimulus in the Liver
pool advices, and heavy selling by spot
interests.
Some think the liquidation has run its
course and that prices are likely to rally
just before the holidays. But today there
was renewal of stop orders selling, and
this with some bear manipulation brought
about a sharp decline.
a somewhat disturbing factor was the
possibility of a strike of 5000 hands at
Lowell The question of a strike at that
point will be decided by a vote of the
operatives tomorrow.
The market closed barely steady; with
quotations to 10 lower as compared
with yesterdays closing prices.

hear that Fitzsimmons is in good
condition, and hope to prove to

sprung last time was without founda-

myself out in my training and |
look forward with pleasure for the
chance to cut loose for keeps. If |
win l intend to keep on nghtlng as
long as there is any one to fight. l
am also satisfied with the referee.
Tonight will settle everything and
may the best man win"
Fitzsimmons said: II see by the
morning papers that Delaney says
that all | want is the short end. 1t
has always been the short end that
have had before the contest, but
they have always turned out to be
very long ends when the fights have
been finished. What | want and

That is the very thing to
