New York. November 23.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to IT points on better cables than expected, and prospects for rather lighter receipts for the day.
 After little further firmness. the mar ket became less active and the estimates for tomorrow's receipts ct Houston re- -1ected very large movement, the gener- al ruling becoming rather easier. There was liquidation and soon the advance had been cut down to matter of to points on the active months. Then came par : tial recovery on a renewal of covering by room shorts, but with the weather of a favorable average and the estimates for tomorrow's receipts at New Orleans and Galveston also very heavy. the mar ket soon began to sag off. While more or less irregular. 1t ruled rather weak dur ing the balance of the session.
 The close was at very slight recovery. the range being net 1 to points higher, with the tone easy. Sales estimated at 250, GOO. Trading was not so active as the recent average and there still seems to be disposition among both classes of trad CTS to await the bureau report before op- erating.
