Cotton

A-QCtOn
further decline in the cotton mar
ket took place yesterday. Selling was
neither general nor aggressive, but
there was little support in evidence
and comparatively small selling orders
were sufficient to influence prices.
Liverpool, Wall Street and other local
traders were among the leading sellers,
the former supposedly on straddles.
while the selling by brokers with Wall
Street connections may possibly have
reflected tight money conditions in the
stock market. Aside from this pessi-
mism was more or less in evidence,
because Of belief that the Austro-
German peace offensive has failed to
create fresh demand and accommodating
supplies in the South will eventually
lead to weakness. December contracts
sold off to 1885 and January to 28.74,
