COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 5.-The cotton mar
kets opened steady at a decline of 10
points to an advance of Z with the
market developing greater firmness as
the call progressed. The opening de-
elines were due to continued liquida-
tlon and bear pressure, while the
steadier tone arose from less unfavor-
able war news than expected and the
rally in Liverpool where prices after
opening so to 65 points lower, had ral-
lied to about the anticipated figure. 1t
also developed that there was a good
deal of bull support.
Mr., Sully was buying, brokers rep
resenting New Orleans We're buying
and for the first twenty-five minutes
the market ruled very firm, selling up
to net gain of from 81 to "a points
on the active months. But outside
longs, it seemed, were still panicky,
and toward the end of the first half
hour a we'll directed bear drive broke
prices a few points, outside liquida-
tion became Overwhelmingly active,
and the market in an instant was
plunged into scenes of even wilder
excitement than those which marked
yesterdays market.
Inside of the first hour prices had
been driven down until March was
selling at 13.75c; May at 1890 and
July at 14.10c. a net decline of 110@121
points on these positions. July on
last Monday sold at 1755c. The low
point of this morning, therefore, indi-
Gated a loss of about $1,7O0 on every
hundred bales of cotton.
But this last wild rush of selling
seemed to exhaust the supply of out
side long contracts. Offerings dimin-
ished, the local bull leader began buy
ing aggressively, New Orleans con-
tinued to support the market, shorts
turned to cover and the active months
were rallied so to rs points.
Following this fluctuations were
comparatively narrow and very irreg
ular. The week end figures showed
the into-sight slightly under early es-
Inmates, but this fact seemed to at
tract no special attention and heavy
exports also failed of any special
effect. Just before the close, how
ever, the local bull leader became
heavy buyer, bidding July up to 14.S2c,
but this demand filled, the market
closed barely steady with July at
1484c. The net decline was O. matter
of 35@52 points on the old crop months,
while the new were from points
higher to 10 points lower. Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.
