COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK. June 2o.-There was
heavy liquidation and a sharp break in
sentiment unsettled by the announce
ment that Liverpool had temporarily
closed pending conferences with the
board OF trade. The opening here was
46 to SO points lower, with October
contracts selling at $3.50 and Decem-
Der at 1855 on the call. or ITO to ia
points below the high levels reached
on yesterdays advance. There was
good buying on this decline. which
st esldied the market up several points
right after the call, but the Liverpool
news seemed to be bringing in selling
orders from the country. and before
the end of the first hour October sold
at 25.05 and December at 25.2O, 108 to
los points under last nights closing

der last nights closing figures and Of
more than cents pound from yes
terday's high records. Pressure then
subsidized to some extent and there were

liquidatio only would be permitted
there up to the close of Friday on the
basis Of 1925 pence for October
