Liverpool furnished the American eotton with another surprise this morn- i-p m fact. It was a double surprise, the (lrst being an'advance of 2 1-2 to 4 Mints, "hen It was expected to show lecllnes of from 6 to 6 points, and he second a loss of the early advance.

The Initial prices were practically the highest of the morning session, prices starting downward Immediately after the opening, commission houses and room traders having considerable cotton for sale. Later on general selling from the South and Liverpool, together with hammering by floor operators, the tone turned weak and prices declined rapidly, catching some step ordora on the way down. Mr. Fries does not understand the situation, Judging from the following wire from him today: “I have been at a loss to understand the heavy selling In New York with which the strong Liverpool markets of the past few days have been met. It ha* come for the most part through McFadden's brokers, and from what hear and aee thla morning, I am of opln Ion that the bull clique In Liverpool are holding up that market while liquidat ing their New York lntereat, which waa very large, under some under standing with New York.” A private wire from New Orleans says: ''Bearish sentiment Is strong, and the market will be hammered severely on anything Ilk* good weather. The sell ing this morning Is due to the fact that the weather map la better than ex pected."

Our market opened 8 to 9 up, not lu full relponse to the strength of Llv* erpool; then told off rapidly until the De; cernber option reached 10.91.

Bulls were selling In large- quantities to take profits, and bears put out big short Hues for a turn. It Is argued that this good weather will cause picking to program rop- Idlv and hurry cotton to the marker* In large quantities to take advantage of the high prices, hence traders were disposed to withdraw temporarily until su more placid view* of the situation can be obtnln- *i|.
