THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. September 22.-The cotton
market opened steady at q decline OF 2a6
points, which was better than due on the
cables az a result of covering for over the
weekend on the continued reports OF steady
southern markets, although private cable
from Liverpool explained the decline there
was due to more liberal offerings Of actual
cotton. Trading was fairly active, but
seemed to be mostly the evening up of ac-
counts. with switching from October to
