DAYS CLOSE MAS
 BARELY STEADY Southern Advices on Spot Sit- uation Caused Break
NEW ORLEANS WAS SELLER
Considerable Pressure Shown From Bearlsh Sources and Recently Ao. quired Lines of Long Cotton
 Were Being Liquldated'

New York. October 14.-After early steadiness, the cotton market today weak ened under liquidation and bear pressure following disappointing reports from the southern spot market, and at the close was barely steady with prices back to about last nights closing level.
 The market opened steady at an advance of ? to points on moderate covering. This was little better than due on the cables. But frost was reported from Denver and this seemed to render smaller shorts cautious about staying in the mar ket over Sunday, and following the call, prices worked up about to 10 points net higher. Advices from the south as to the spot situation, showed easiness, and prices here sold off quite sharply from the best, with January going down from 10.4 to 10c.
 New Orleans, which had ruled steady during the morning, turned easier, send ing selling orders to the local market, and there seems to be considerable pres sure from bearish sources, while 1t was said that recently acquired lines oI lonB cotton were being liquidated Toward the close the market recovered 4 or points from the lowest, but was finally barely steady at a decline of points to an ad- vance of 16 points. Sales were estimated at SOO,OOO
 Receipts at the ports today 72,O0O bales, against 54,S33 last week and 5l,1H last year. For the week 3S5,O00 bales against 397,S69 last week and 299519 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans l,429 bales against 11,264 last year, and at Houston 97s3 bales, against 11,752 last year.
