Advise Buying, as Lowest Prices DO
Not Seem in Sight.


Not Seem in sight.
New York, Feb. 16.-Liverpool did
not follow our break of yesterday to
it's full extent, and during our early
session it looked as if we would have
another bun market, but the stream of
liquidating orders from New Orleans
was renewed, and as there is yet no
aggressive buying power in the mar
ket this selling resulted in another bad
break, though at the close there has
been some recovery from the lowest
on short covering.
1t is hard to say whether the liqui-
dalton is over and there is still con-
siderable nervousness as to whether
all those who have been so prominent
on the bull side will be able to wea Their
the storm without a serious impair
ment OF their resources.
AS to cotton on it's merits as cotton,
prices seem to be low enough and we
think mills would do we'll to supply
their wants for the summer. AS to
operating in future, we would also ad-
wise buying. but only those who are
prepared to see their ventures 90
against them to some extent, as it is
by no means certain that we have all
seen the lowest prices.

While the people of New Orleans
were bowling obsequiously before Rex,
who, arrayed in his robes of state, held
court in the Crescent City. King Cot
ton, dethroned for the once, gave his
subjects the laugh again on the Liver
pool and New York markets. The bulls
and bears enjoyed holiday in
Browns town, while Sully was trying
TO stem the downward trend in Tam
many's habitat, until noon, when he
began to sell, and the market went
down with thud.
The day opened at an advance of
from 7015 points, and the bulls seemed
to laugh a laugh of defiance at their
erstwhile antagonists. All went merry
as a marriage bell until the chimes of
old Trinity rang out the lunch hour,
when the market broke, going through
Mondays level and the lowest prices
since early December were recorded at
the close.
The port receipts continue to show a
decided falling off.
The local spot market did not show
any signs of activity, and four bales
was the record of the days doings.
The f. o. b. clientele also took day off
and the market was quoted nominal,
although for decency's sake quiet was
chalked up as the tone. The opening
prices on a basis of good middling
were quoted at 131sc and at 4 o'clock
13c was asked. The interior still posi-
lively refused to part with it's cotton
at the decline, and brokers must needs
wait for a change of front before any
business will be recorded.
