such a high priced dog. Judge Rogers

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York Feb. 19.-There was a very severe break in the cotton mar. ket today and as a result of very much such panicky liquidation as that which marked the decline of last month Selling began in Liverpool on the opening of the American mar, ke's and continued throughout the en. tire morning, with prices ralying only 10 to 12 points in the late trading as a result of covering for over the holi. days.
 The market closed steady in tone, but at a net loss of IS 10 B points.
 The opening was weak at a decline of 10 to B points in response to the unexpected and sensational break in the English market Private cables were unanimous in attrbu,ing the de. cline to heavy American selling and one of the cables estimated it at fully 125,0O0 bales The opening decline here was sufficient 10 catch stop-loss orders and while there was a rally of 10 to ? points toward the end of the first hour a renewal of heavy calling by leading interests sent prices to the lowest levels of the day late in the forenoon when May sold 1404c and July 13.S1c, or 45 to 47 points net lower on the active months
 New crop positions broke from 22 to g points from last nights finals, but attracted comparatively little at tention as the excitement was all cen tered in old crop deliveries and the eyidentl iquidation of large longe lines which were believed tO have been partly accumulated since the time when May sold at 1850 in New York last month The big houses with western and southern connections were among the most active sellers, while the demand came partly from spot houses, but was believed to be chiefly in the way Of covering. There was nothing in the mornings news nom spot or manufacturing clrcleS 10 explain the decline and the various ru- mors circulating including one of DO. Htcal difficulties in India, were too vague to attract much attention Both the New YorH and New Orleans mar kets will be closed on Monday and Tuesday.
 Port receipts today 10,976 bales, against 9,445 last week anu l4,9S4 last year For the week 10000, against 104,2GS last week and 111644 last year At New Orleans, 1,946, against 3,053 last year and at Houston, 2.195, against 5,l46 last year.
 Futures opened weak and closed steady.
