May Sells Off To 29.45, Making ~ New Low Ground For Pres
 ent Movement

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-An early ad- vance on better Liverpool cables than was expected was followed by a very sharp decline in the cotton market to- day./ May contracts sold off from 30.45 to 29.45, making a net decline of 67 points and new low ground. for the movement. That delivery closed at 29.50, with the general market closing steady at net declipes of 53 to 62 points on old crop positions and of 1T to 25 points on later deliveries.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of points to an advance of 16 points and sold about 20 to 35 points net higher during the early trading on covering and fresh buying promoted by relatively firm Liverpool cables, better reports from Manchester and unusually large spot sales in the Liverpool mar ket. March sold up to 30.0Sc and July to 29.90c, while October advanced to 26S5c, with buying of new crop posi- tions promoted by reports of unfavor- able weather for farm work in. the south At these prices the market met increased offerings and turned weak during the early afternoon on rumors that large number of notices were being prepared for issuance tomorrow morning Large spot interests were credited with buying March freely against sales of May at 35 points. This absorbed the March liquidation on a scale down, but the weakness of the near months had an unsett1ing effect on sentiment and recent buyers for an upward reaction were credited with selling out on the decline. March broke to 29.14c and July to 28.92c, mak- ing declines of about S4 to 100 points from the high levels of the morning on the active old crop months. New crop months were relatively quiet and steady, but October sold off to 26.27c, or 9 points net lower. The close was only little up from the lowest on GOV ering. Spot sales reported in the Liv erpool market amounted to 14.000 bales, including 12,000 American. This busi- ness included 10000 bales for export, which private cables said would be shipped to the continent. The generally nervous and unsettled tone of the mar ket was attributed partly to uncer- tainty as to notice day developments tomorrow and as to the showing of the expected statement from Washington with reference to available supplies. Exports today, 16,759, making 4,273, 1898 so far this season. Port receipts, IS, 113. United States port stocks, S09. 9.22S.
