New York Cotton Futures

New Orleans. January 3.-cotton futures opened steady at an advance of Co S points on better cables than due. Bulls were encouraged by the pending confer ence over the labor situation in Lam cashire and bought rather heavily around the first call In hope of favorable re- suits from it.

 We hear that the National Ginners re- port up to January 1 is bearish, indicat- ing that the government report will show more cotton ginned in several states thaa estimated by the agricultural department as grown Under these influences the market slowly declined, recovering slight ly just before the close on further buying from the source mentioned above.
 The continent bought again today, bu, the south has been selling for the past two days on the heavy movement of the crop. Liverpool should decline to } points tomorrow.
