COTTON MARKET

 Profit Taking.
BEARS TRY TO TAKE CHARGE

New York, February 20-The cotton market opened easy, with prices to points lower and continued to decline later In the morning under active selling of long cotton and vigorous bear pressure, all induced by weakness in the Liverpool market and by larger receipts at the ports than looked for. The pear eIement con tended that the bull movement was at an end, and that receipts will continue large from this out. Yet 1t was seen that export clearances were very large, sev- eral thousand bales in excess of port re- ceipts thus causing further reduction in port stocks. Again interior town stocks had to make good shortage of some 700 bales between receipts and shipments. The southern spot markets failed to reflect the slightest weakness May touched s.45 on the first down turn and then followed an uneventful course until the early after noon, when shorts suddenly became frightened by reports that export clear ances would continue to far overtop port receipts The market was found to be practically bare of offerings, and from S,46 May shot up to s.55 in about as many minutes as there were points advance.
 Profit-taking by ring longs later caused a partial reaction, but at the close the market was steady and net unchanged to { points higher.
