NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK. Feb, 6.-Reports that
two Of the large Fall River cotton
manufacturing plants would be closed
Tor an Indefinite period owing to lack
OF business and difficulty over work
ing hours, seemed largely responsible
for a renewal Of scattered selling at
the opening Of the cotton market to-
day. LivHrpool made a fairly steady
showing, nut prices here started barely
steady at Il decline OF II TO rs points
net lower shortly after the call, with
March selling at %. 95c, May at 81. 79c
and July at 20, 94c. Reports that Sean
dinayian countries would be permitted
TO Increase their imports of various
commodities, including cotton, attract
ed some attention and helped to steady
the market at the decline.
After a rally to about last nights
closing figures, with May selling at
22,O5 and July pit 2l,12, on coVerlng and
Liverpool buying, the market weak
ened during the middle of the mbrning.
The demand tapered off after the close,
while There was continued Southern
selling on the break, which extended
70 2l,36 for May and 1886 for July, or
So TO SO points net lower.
Futures closed steady at decline Of

and the mills apparently have so little
business on hand and coming that they
are disposed 10 close down rather
meet the demands of their operatives.
a. was stated bis morning that the
largest group at Fail River would close
down tonight for an indefinite period,
while other centeTs are sending ad-
vices which are not dissimtlar, indi-
eating that there is not going to be a
general surrender to the demand for
higher wages. 9 All Of this was Just
what the bears wanted, for II naturally
deferred hope OF early resumption OF
raw material buying and meant that
the South would be compelled TO stand
pat a while longer.
The Liverpool market came better
than due, and some of the early buy

due to come 6 to Z points off, but at
no time during the session was II off

garded as more favorable for farm
work and the agitation for acreage re-
duction apparently was gaining mo-
