 Were For Warmer

 The Liverpool cables were distinctly disap- pointing and the movement of the crop was large
 Not long after the call there was a marked change in the temper of the market and early bsyers turned sellers. The English market private cables were discouraging to longs here told of no damage by the cold wave and splendid growing conditions over the entire southern half of the crop country. The late forecast promised warmer weather for the northern section.
 Wall Street failed to support the Winter mQnths to the extent expected and the South was free seller Before midday the market was weak and very feverish with prics well below the close of yesterday. Then came a slight and brief rally on room profit taking soon followed by more pronounced weakness tAan before. For the balance of the after noon liquidation and bear pressure were prom fnent and the news on the whole Vas decided " against improvement. Prices dropped point hy point. with the close at about the bottom, . net loss of 6gIo points. The tone was barely steady.
 Total sales were estimated at 300 oco bales. Clsarances for export were large. New Or leans and Galveston were heavy sellers of the Winter and Spring months in the last hour and there were liberal sales made for the Eu- rcpcan accounts as we'll.
