COTTON DROPS AS
LONGS L|QUIDATE
Lack of Resistive Power Encour-
ages Heavy Selling by Ring
and Spot Houses.

NEW YORK. Nov. 22.-Despite a fair
demand from houses with Southern con-
nections and all spinning interests the
tone of the cotton market was barely
steady to-day and first prices were at a
net decline of to points from Fridays
close.
The reaction was accompanied by re-
ports of unsettled and colder weather
over most of the belt over Sunday.
This, however, had little or no effect
on quotations.
The ring crowd sold on the first dip to
1890 for March, covered part of 1t on
the rally to 81 and then sold more on
the second dip and looked to be going
home short A lot of the Wall street
cotton brought in yesterday was put out
again to-day.
There was general demand for
March at 1890 and May at 1880 that
checked the decline at those figures, de-
spite the efforts of the ring to smash it
through and there was about 10000 bales
of March wanted at 90 on the curb.
The principal feature of the market
was the liquidation by the commission
houses and selling by the South and
some o fthe larger spot houses. There
was also said to be some selling by the
continent at the outset. The little sup
port that was in evidence came from
weekend shorts, who had sold at the
high level. The market lacked reslstive
power and the bears sold 1t with conf
dence and around the close the list stood
soc to S1.00 bale lower.
Sentiment Is extremely bearish and
conservative operators were of the opin-
ion that lower levels would be reached
Monday. What brought about this re
versal of sentiment is the large ginning
figures Of yesterday and the belief that
there is still scattered long interest
in the market, which will come out on
further declines and absence of support
from some of the larger spot interests
who have been for the past few months
identified with the bull side.
At the close the market was barely
steady, IL TO 20 points lower than the
previous close.
