ALL DELIVERIES 60 ID NEW LOW RECORD
 OF PRESENT SEASON
Close Barely Steady, Within Few Points of Lowest, at Net Declines of Fifty-five
 to One Hundred Points
Rr Associated Press

New York, February 8.-The cotton market showed continued weakness to- day. All deliveries made new low reel ords for the season, with March selling off to 1095c and May to 11.25c. The close was> barely steady and within a few points of the lowest, showing 8 net de- cline of 55 to 100 points.
 The market opened easy at decline of 21 to 50 points owing, to the lower trade depression in Lancashire. Houses with Liverpool connections were heavy sellers, while there was also active sell ing by brokers who had been among the heavier buyers on the declines of lasl week, and before the market showed any rally of importance active months had shown let losses of 5S to 70 points. There was a good deal of covering at this level, leading to reactions of 20 or 20 points from the lowest, but otherwise the mar ket seemed to be without support, and prices turned very weak again during the afternoon. July contracts sold off to 11.67c with old crop months generally showing net losses of 55 to 7S points late in the afternoon, while later deliveries were even weaker, selling S4 to 100 points below Saturdays closing figures May contracts at u.25c showed a decline of 525 points from the high price touched on the rally of last month, while March contracts at 10.95c showed a decline of over g cents per pound as compared with the highest price touched by fu- lures last season. Southern selling here was not as active as the selling by Liver pool and recent buyers, but it was in sufficient volume to encourage the talk of increased spot pressure before the new crop is planted, and local brokers reported a falling off in the demand from domestic mills owing to unsatisfactory conditions in the goods trade. One oi the private cables received from Liver pool said the market there was in de- moralzed condition and that politics were a disturbing factor. Exports for the day were 4S,222, maarng 3,S7s,ssS SC far this season. Port receipts, 22,SSs' United States port stocks, 1898, 7S6.

NEM YORK COTTON
New Orleans Cotton
By Associated Press rr .. pS nsI,~ aAi


 New Orleans, February %.-Prices were lower in the cotton market today, prac- tically from the opening to the close, al- though in the late trading faint-hearted attempt at a reaction was seen when shorts covered in a large way. This steadiness did not last and the close was at losses of 61 to 72 points, At the low est the market was 61 to "A points down. Related liquidation and the reporting Of stop loss orders were mainly against the price toward the end. March traded as low as 1056c and closed at that price. July traded as low as 1l.27c and closed at 11.3oc. All months went to new low record prices for the season.
 The agitation to prohibit short selling appeared to be one of the main factors working for the further decline, eal- though on the opening the market had to contend with a much lower Liverpool than due, and in the late trading the selling out by lcngs appeared to be large- ly due to fear Of heavy tenders in the English market tomorrow, first March tenders being due then.
 In the early afternoon steadiness de- yeloped on floor gossip that large line of shorts had been covered and for while the market acted in a more nor nal way than for several seasons past, only to weaken again when liquidation increased

KANSAS CITY RECEIPTS
 HAD VERY DEPRESSING
 INFLUENCE ON GRAIN
By Associated Press

Chicago. February S.-Big receipts at Kansas City had depressing influences today on the wheat market here. Rallies failed to last and the close was weak at he 10 1S.c net lower. with March sl.56ss to si 6ssi and May $l.56ls 10 Sl56a, corn finished unchanged to l4c lower and oats at a shade to hc advance. Provisions gained sc to 10c.
 Bears in the wheat pit made much Of word that arrivals at Kansas City today tctaled 625 cars. This news, including some selling of wheat to be put into store here. led to material setback in values during the first hour. good deal of emphasis, too, was placed on con stentions that wheat values were excess sively high as compared with almost ev- erything else. Subsequently, indications of export business at the seaboard, to- gether with a revival of green bug ad- vices from the southwest, led to sud den upturn in prices. Attempts, how lever, which holders made to realize demonstrated quickly that the market was lacking in sustained buying power Prices showed an especial tendency to sag in the final b minutes.
 An unexpected falling off in the visi- ble supply of corn tended to steady the market for corn and oats, besides rura offerings of corn were meager, Proyi- sicns declined with hogs, but later scored gains, owing to apparent likelihood that arrivals of hogs would diminish.
