COTION MAHhE1S.
NEW YORK, March S.-Weaker Liv-
erpool cables. attributed to unsettled
European conditions and American sell
ing, were followed by a decline of to
81 points at the opening of the cotton
market here today. March was also in
f1uenced by the circulation of notices
estimated at 100 bales and sold off
to 1890, while May touched 11.50 and
July, 1892. Trading was very quiet at
the decline with prices later showing
moderate rallies on covering and more
encouraging reports regarding financial
conditions in Georgia and the ruling OF
southern spot markets.
NEW ORLEANS. March s.-The for
eign situation was sufficiently gloomy
to cause drop of 20 to u points
around the opening in the cotton market
today. but buying of covers by shorts
was met in large volume as the price
declined and the demand soon caused a
reaction.
