Apparently ther* was very little cotton for sale at the outset and the buying was of a good character. Liverpool cabled that the market has a hotter undertone and that Manchester Is doing better business than reported Tills, however, had practically no effect on quotation* , Outside speculation was very light. After the call the trend was down ward The ring crowd seemed inclined to sell and the advance in Liverpool seemed to have little or no effect. I his caused some 3 to 6 points decline from the initial range Sentiment continues very bearish and with the limit amount of bulls in the market at present it is hard for them to meet the selling pressure. Bears ap parently seem to be trying to talk the market down. However, a narrow and featureless market is looked for until after the Government reports are out of the way. NEW YORK COTTON. Dec. Jan.
