Liverpool responded to the decline
with a vim. Spots were 13 down, fu
tures 8, as due, while sales were 10,-
000.
Freeman wired: “There was very
little cotton for sale at the opening.”
Gibert & Clay said: "We believe
the market Is heavily oversold, and
look for a substantial recovery from
present levels. Scalping market.”
While the crop may turn out 10,-
500,000, unless the market advances
to a point where the planters can get
15 ^ents there will be at least 300,000
batek carried over. Only a mule

NEW ORLEAN8 COTTON LETTER
(Br Wire to Clerk & Co.)
New Orleans, Feb, 6,—Liverpool
gave every evidence this morning of
giving way from her old-time custom
of forgsln the as set by American
markets and acting Independently be
came a heavy purchaser on this side,
or more especially in New York. Spot
sales were 10,000 bales, but prices
were easier and the demand for cot
ton was only fair while optlofta on the
opening (jf the Cls-Atlantlc markets
showed' more resistance In failing to
respond in full to expectations, being
only 7 points down when due to show
a decline of 8 points.
The closing was steady at a net de
cline of 5 points from yesterday’s.
The cloth market In Manchester was
Arm, while yarns move more slowly.
Some little evidence was present dur
ing the early morning trading of the
local market, that plrces would work
higher, but on every such advance
room traders sold, which caused freBh
liquidation on a somewhat larger scale
of long cotton. Galveston's heaviest
receipts for the day, together with
the heavy movement reported from
Texas, likewise had their depressing
Influence upon an easle,r inclined mar
ket. On the advnnec early this morn
ing a good Inquiry was reported from
the east, In the finished goods market,
but buyei’s soon became cautious when
the raw material situation showed
such a Btrong tendency to work lower.
While the total movement to date is
behind that of the past four seasons,
today’s receipts show no sings of di
minishing. In fact, this state of af
fairs seems to he lending much weight
to those who have argued that the
amount of cotton held In the Interior
Is much greater than Is generally sup
posed. Whatever the truth may be,
the present market shows materially
the effect of existing conditions and
ns long as the temper of the trade
generally shows such decided antag
onism to higher prices, commitments
of long cotton should be made only
with a view of realizing profits on re-
iicttcjns such as are logically due to
occur from time to time.

Many shrewd operators now prefer
straddles to open speculation, and the

“Mother Livesey’s well.” The curious
thing about this well is that the water

year and is quite dry during tho other
three months—June, July and Au

be. The water always commences to
flow on the same date each year, and
never freezes even during the hardest
