New Orleans, Feb. 1.—Spot sales of 15,000 bales In Liverpool this morning were excellent. Options, however, opened about as expocted, but in sym pathy with the decline in the Ameri can market eased off later in the ses sion and closed at a decline of 13 points under yesterday. There can be no doubt that the undertone of the foreign market is decidedly the best of the three great cotton centers, nevertheless prices Have been so un mercifully hammered there by the American rings that all of the starch has been taken out of the situation and their confidence has been more or loss shaken, as evidenced by the tem per of cables. Those who entertained any hopes that the heavy liquidation of the last few days would be conspicuous by its absence were destined to have their hopes rudely shattered, for it looked at one'time as if there was nothing (o stem the tide of selling orders that seemed to come from everywhere. After March contracts had been de- Initial trades in our market were at a loss of 6 to 8 points, but heavy offerings by the Price clique quickly sent values down 15. points, or to the lowest price touched since the disas trous break in October. Miss Giles wisely increased her es timate -to 10,400,'0Q0. The trade jug gled these figures, and the decline re sulted. Now that we have had a decline of 188 points the market should be bought on a scale down. Certainly looks very attractive. There is no doubt about that Price follow being "agin” us. The market will advance far more rapidly than It has declined once con fidence is restored and the general public is in again. If there was ever a time when the Shoulder to Shoulder” club needed to show their friendship for the mar ket, ’tis now. The rallying power of the market is not marked, but there is a day of awful reckoning for some smart hears who are now selling cotton which they do not possess. If your confidence in the market is not strong enough to buy—don’t sell. All selling orders are simply battle- axes wielded against the "Solid South.” If need be, go down "witn your col ors flying.” Die game. Liverpool was as weak as some Christians’ faith, and closed 14 down. He Ought Not to Kick. Six. inch Plates, worth $1.25, now $1.19 a set.

WELLS. pressed well Into eighties, however, some firm friends of the staple came to the rescue doubly encouraged by the rumored report that the hear lead er would Issue a circular reflecting n change of sentiment, and this, to gether with the news from New York that his brokers had been heavy sell ers and were now taking on large long commitments, stimulated a fresh buy ing power that lent material support to the market. Apart from the pre ponderance of bearlslily inclined In formation that has been in evidence lately and the consequent depressing Influence that It lias exerted on the trade generally, there is no certainty that such shrinkage of values as we have had can be justified by condi tions, and it is more than likely that when confidence has been finally re stored a substantial increase in values will follow. Much depends, however, upon the either forced or free attitude of holders, our advices today from the interior, while conflicting, never theless seem to indicate rather reluc tance on the part of some of the hold ers to sell and In very many cases amounts to an absolute declination to meet the market’s present decline.
