New York jan 29.-The dry goods mar
ket has not shown the excited feeling
which was much in evidence yesterday.
The majority was anxious to do business
for any extended time, combining their
operations for the most part to goods on
hand and to such quantities as their
manufacturers will allow to sell.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Jan. 29-The cotton market
opened easy with October 2 and the, other
months from Is to 2 3points higher. The
advance was in keeping with slightly
higher cables and continued light receipts
in connection with further bull support,
but almost before the call was completed
prices had sold off several points under
heavy liquidation, prompted perhaps IN
some measure by the less peaceful out
look in the Far East. Still after some
irregularity the market steadied again to
about the opening figures, with March
at the best selling at 1921; May at 16.4O,
and July at 1916, those being the highest
prices OF the season. The undercurrent,
however. was very nervous, and later
the bulls supported less vigorously, SO
that reports of curtailments In spinning
centers both here and abroad caused suff-
cient selling to impart an easier tone 10
the market for some time; but shortly
after midday large stop orders were
reached and prices broke violently.
March went down to 1856; May to 1885,
and July to 1889; net decline on the
positions named of from 80 to 81 points
and a decline from the best point of the
morning of from 81 to &c points. de
elimination of those stop oraers seemed
to give the market healthy look. The

came to the support of the market which
was also helped by the bullish interpreta-

there was a recoverery of several points,
after which the market ruled rather mar
row but very irregular until near the close
In the last few minutes the local bull
leader rushed into the ring and began
bidding for July, taking everything in
light, and advancing that position 10 lois,

while the other old crop months were

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
New Orleans, La, Jan. 29.-The decline
in futures brought to the trading in
spot cotton almost to a standstill. Sales
1150 bales; prices unchanged.
In the future market the long expected
reaction came today. Weak longs were
said to be responsible for the break in
prices. The war rumors that were spread
about after yesterdays closing caused an
accommodating of selling orders over night
from the country and their weight had its
effect on the market. Liquidation COM
menced soon after the opening and while
first prices were higher the break soon
followed. Though longs bought freely the
offerings were apparently more than thcy
cared to handle for a time and flooded
the market. Prices sank rapidly under
the general unloading. After a short
breathing spell the bulls again enter3c
the ring and were heavy buyers at the
decline, causing a recovery OF 80 to II
