There was nothing in the fluc tuations fo make a man’s hair Htand on end. There was a decline of 1 point. It is a ease just now illustrated by the olu Maying, one is airaid and the other dare not." The bulls are afraid to buy for fear of increased receipts and tn<- aver age bear is afraid that Imd weather will cut down the receipts. Liverpool declined 1 point and closed dull. Sew Orleans was in. practically a trance also. It hardly moved.but March stirred Itself sufficiently to decline 1 point. Memphis received 1,120 bales, against 530 last week and l.SUi last year; Houston, 6,363, against 6.923 last week, dome are looking for receipts at the ports during the week of lsuitAXi bales, against 211.W0 lost week and 100,000 for the same week In 1892. The roads in some parts of the South are reported in better condition. Some Texas advices maintain that the yield per acre this year is even greater than In the big crop year and 1892. The Texas yield la estimated at 3,000,006 bales or over by many who have given the subject cureful attention. The Chronicle states that the crop In sight Is 7,238,000, or 1,4419,000 more than last year, while the visible supply Is 140,000 more than In 1892. The quantity brought Into sight during the week was 201,713, against 138.436 last year. Northern spinners' tak ings, 1,387.871. against 1,010,259 last treason. The weather during the past w*eek has been warmer at the South, but In some sections the rainfall has been heavy. In the SoutHwost the precitation has been light. As goes the crop movement so will go the movement of prices here. A sharp falling off in receipts will be the signal for an advance, but without such a de crease or without decidedly ntimu:atlng news going abroad, nothing. In our judg ment. will prevent a decline In New York or elsewhere. Stevens A Co. THE SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.

New York, Jan. 12.—(Special.)-There was nothing in the news received here today 'from the South or Liverpool cal culated to Influence prices much either way, and as the locul operators were not inclined to iucreoae their ‘interests the speculation was very tame. Ah a matter of fact, It was about the dull est Saturday half holiday market wo have ever had. The total sales barely exceeded 176,000 bales, and the fluctua tions In price* were confined within a range of two points. The receipts a<t New Orleans on Monday are estimated between 18.000 to 16,000 bales, against 20,284 hist week and 9.028 last year. The total receipts at ail porto during thd coming week are estimated at 180,- 000 bales, against 210,800 this week and 169,676 last year. .Mr. Alfred Shepper- son says in the new volume of “Cotton Facts:*' "It will thus be seen that a review of previous crops does not af ford encouragement for th» expfectauoi* of a crop of over 9;600,000 bales, rf all marketed, while it might readily trun out to be 400,000 boles 1«*. In this connection it should be considered that the crop having been raked upon v*ry limited advances, many planters, and especially those in good circumstances. Arc well able to hold back from the market a larger quantity of cotton thau usual if disposed to do **>. In Fall River, Mass., the market bis been agitated and unsettled throughout. At the closing, * however, it Is quiet and easy on a basis of 2 9-16 cents for extius, sellers having successfully combatted the efforts of the buyers to bring tbs* price down to 2 1-2 cents, the lowest price In the history of the country. Operations were more on an extended smle; production, 210,000; d“Ilv^ri«, 226,- 000 pieces; sales, 166,000 pieces, including 84,000 odd** and 82.000 sixty-tour squares, of which 54,000 were spots, «nd 112.000 futures. Stock, 998,000 orders, and 50,- 000 sixty-four squares; totnl 148,000 pieces. If the price should recede to the "trouble experienced during August and during the fall of .894, but the depreciation in value of value of tuw materials offsets thus in a great meas ure. _ „ E. B.
