Weakness in Liv erpool cables caused the cotton market here to open barely steady today with first prices ranging unchanged to 4 points lower than last night's close. Immediate ly after the opening a general buying movement prevailed, coming from many different sources, which was said to have resulted from X’eil, of London's, estimate, placing the commercial crop at 13,!00,- 'OO bales including linters and repacks, and after fifteen minutes, prices were 8 to 10 points better than the opening quo tations.
