New York, Dec. s.—The break in Liverpool yesterday and today is partly explained by statement that British and Continental speeu’ation there for rise in the Liverpool market has been enormous this season. Formerly there was only one \yire from London to the Liverpool cotton exchange, now there are nine. Liverpool cables : Further heavy liqui dation anej. stop loss selling by local and Loudon interests while not yet com pleted thiuk weakest out and market drfting into a sound and strong posi tion. Weld: Cotton lias noti yet sold at a price which will bring about the neces sary* curtailment in consumption. Furth er liquidation and a further break may follow the wide swing of today’s market, but in such an event we would favor purchases. Munds: * With technical position greatly improved by the heavy liquida tion here and in Liverpool, the market should be in a position to respond to fundamentals. Fenner and Beane: We expect the ginning figures to be large enough to effect sentiment and belive conserva-' tism on the buyiug side is advisable- W R. Craig: We see nothing in the situation to warrant these large specula tive short sales of yesterday aud today, aud continue to believe that the cotton market is a buy on all breaks. Hubbard Brothers: It is probable that Liverpool will remain unsettled uutil after the British-general election, which is due on Thursday, and uutil the political situation is thus cleared in Great Britain, we do not anticipate as much activity in Manchester.
