COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, November 25-Reports
that spot cotton was being offered more
freely In the interior and rather heavier
selling of futures by houses with southern
connections inspired a renewal of local
bear pressure and scattering liquidation
during today's trading here, under which
the market closed barely steady at a net
decline Of 4a9 points, with January SELL
ing at sos. or within 10 points Of the
low record of the season.
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of 1 point, which
was about in line with the cables. Trad
ing was quiet on the call, but soon be-
came more active, and, while there was
a good demand on a scale-down, prices
worked gradua ly lower unuer southern
selling. bear pressure and liquidation,
which was attributed to reports that big
crop estimates were beginning to render
interior holders, uneasy and to private
advices indicating there was still great
deal Of cotton to be picked, particularly
in the Carolinas.
Trade interests were buyers on
scale-down, and the market showed
continued ability to absorb large Of
est of the day. Reports of a more
active business in Fall River, sales of
print cloths for the week being es-
timated at 10000 pieces, or the largest
so far since the beginning of 1911, ap-
peared to exercise little influence in
the direction of stimulating demand
and the census figures on supply and
distribution for the first two months of
the season. indicating domestic mill con-
sumption of 1885 bales for the period,
against 1905 last year, also failed
to attract any special attention Private
wires from the southwest claiming that
low grades were being offered more
freely were probably responsible for
much of the selling in connection with
expectations of bearish crop estimate
from New Orleans Monday.
