New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 12.-Spot cot ton quiet. i4c lower; middling, 15Ac; sales on the spot. 250 bales; to arrive. none.
 Futures opened at decline of 46 to 4S points on the old crop, and October 28 down. This opening decline was in sympathy with a much lower Liverpool market than expected. Following the first call there was recovery of some thing over a dollar a bale, but this only attracted fresh short selling and by the middle of the morning the market was utterly demoralized and breaking to 10 points at time. At the lowest old crop prices were 76 to 7s points under yesterdays closing. Much long cotton came out on the decline In the after noon session the market recovered some what on profit-taking by shorts hut at no time showed much strength. The close was steady at net decline of 60 to 62 points on the old crops and 39 points on October.
