rHE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Jan. S,--The cotton market
opened barely steady at a decline of 507
points and during the early session showed
a net loss Of Soil points on active months
as a result of lower cables, bearish predic-
lions rs to the showing of the ginnecs' re-
port, and large receipts. Trading was not
nearly as active as yesterday morning and
there was less pressure of long cotton
against the market. Local sentiment
seemed OF a more bearish average, but
after the decline to 1852 for March. the
market steadied up on covering, and dur
ing the middle of the morning was only 4
to 6 points net lower.
The market continued rather quiet late
in the forenoon. but became steadier as
a result of covering and prices at mid
day We're Just about net, unchanged ON
the near months. and 4 to points lower
on later positions.
