 and Forced New
 Low Level.

New York. January 26.-The cotton mar ket was weak and unsettled undef bear pressure. and liquidation, which seemed to be chiefly for southern account. The close was a little up from the lowest on covering but final prices showed a net loss of 9dDls points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 3 to points in response to somewhat better cables than expected, but eontin- ued large spot business in the Liver pool market.

At the lowest March sold at 1.19 or 20 points net lower. March closed at Il a and the final tone was steady. Sales for the day were esti- mated at 5OO,00O bales.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, January 26.-A revised esti- mate of the exportable surplus of wheat in Argentina showing a market increase over previous figures caused a weak wheat market early in today's session. Later the market became firm on buying by shorts, who were influenced chiefly by an active demand by cash wheat at the principal grain centers of the United States. At the close prices were practically as those of yesterday. May corn was off A02s; oats were down s. and provisions were 21a@ 10c lower.

Gilbert 6 cIay's Market Letter.

This mornings Liverpool opening was decidedly steady at an advance of points but in the absence of decided support. options eased off little and closed quiet at points over yesterdays prices Good demand for spots and a corresponding business done seemed 10 be the markets chief support. and though actual sales were moi as large as reported in the last day or so they were nevertheless above the average, being 12,000 at an advance of points. These large sales are in reality the markets chief source of sup port, for they reflect not only the spin ners' need for the raw material but like wise his willingness 10 supply his wants on a more liberal basis. doubtless in an- ticipation of higher prices. The demand for cloths in Manchester good; yarns quiet. but firm.
 The ease with which prices wore away in our markets this morning was some what disappointing. when we recall the resisting strength displayed yesterday The inclination to sell at any and all times displayed yesterday helped the de- cline. But even then in the absence of any absorbing power, the decline while easy, was gradual. This general llquida- tion seems to have been fired by the ru- nor that prominent dry goods house in the east had reduced the price of goods. While this report was strenuously denied later In the day, it necessarily had a depressing influence upon the market already susceptible in the extreme.
 There is certainly nothing in the crop movement to date to warrant any fears of a pessirnistic order, for the figures given out today still show the movement to be gradually decreasing and in com parison with the totals of the short crop year before last, this year shows de- crease of approximately 10000 bales, the insight for this week being only 1Si.656 As long as the market displays it's present nervous and cratic temperament and in the absence of an improved spot situation. it seems hardly probable that any marked bettarment of conditions will prevail.
