New York. Nov. 4. The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of four
points to an advance of one point, the
declines being due to lower cables than
expected and liquidation, while, as the
call progressed And Immediately aftei
Its completion. It became evident that
there were some pretty good buying
orders. This demand rallied the mar
ket shortly after the .opening, and Jan
uary sold up to 10.03, or 3 points above
the best price of the- previous day,
while the general list showed-net gains
of from 4 to 5 points. , -
But the buying closed out at this
level, the list turned easier and during
the balance of the session showed a
tlecllning tendency, wjth trading,
which at first ftad been active, com
paratively quiet'
The close was steady, though prices
were at practically the lowest -of the
session or, a net decline of 12 to 14
points.
Sales were estimated at 200,000 bales.
The large Into sight figures for the
week seemed to operate against the
market somewhat, while the forecast
calling for olearer 'weather over the
bolt In place of recent rains also had
a tendency to curtail speculation. Most
of thd selling during the earl y-session
was thought flo come from Wall street
sources. f
loiter In' the- session, New Orleans
appeared to be selling here.

selling to-day Imparted a condition of
weakness throughout the session, and the
orenofideranee of sentiment ,- to-night la

which at satisfactory prices develops nde
iuate proportions to arrest any tendency
to scute weakness, but promptly disap
pears predictated upon the expectation of
a . moderately, supply, aad would quickly
disappear eltould subsequent. developments
points to a yield materially in excess ofj
