New York, Feb. 10. The cotton market was nervous and, unsettled to day with the close barely steady at a net decline of 5 to 14 points. Sales ft ere estimated at 175,000 bales. The market opened steady at a de cline of 2 to 5 points in response to the cables and after a few minutes of hesitation developed weakness under selling by brokers believed to be work ing for the leading bull interests, scat tering liquidation, Southern and Li verpool selling and local bear pressure. There was a. good demand on a scale down, but sentiment among smaller longs was very much unsettled owing to the reduction in the leading long lines and there was nothing in the news that could be considered reas suring, for Manchester accounts were gloomy. The Southern spot basis was said to be, easier and good rains were reported in Eastern and Central sections of the belt and where the ab sence of normal winter precipitation r: noted, although not to the : - extent as in the Southwest whore planting begins earlier. TIk.- was a big demand for Octo ber around 9.29 sufficient to check the decline, but the market devel oped no rallying power and closed at the lowest prices of the day. Sou thern spot markets officially reported early were generally unchanged. New Orleans had a rumor that short time was likely in Lancashire, but this was considered, although the cables report ed that yarn stocks were accumulat ing and some sales of cloth had been made at lower prices. The market will be closed on Fri day and part of today's trading was probably in the way of evening up for the week-end. Receipts at the ports today were 29, 904 bales, against 45,141 last week and 'H.425 last year; for the week 225,000 talcs, against 251,633 last week and 577,752 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 12,923 bales, ag linst 5,872 last year, and at Houston (U73 bales against 3,529 last year.

THE DRY GOODS MARKET. (By Wire to the Morning Star.) New York, Feb. 10 The jobbing house trade is active, more particular- ly in the pieoa goods departments. It is stated that there are more buyers in the manket at this time than ever before in a similar period of a spring jobbing season. Southern staple ging ham have been advanced. Wash goods are being bought liberally. Knit goods are dragging in some places and quite active in others. Hosiery is selling better for fall and spring on duplicate orders. Silk skein dye goods are be ing ordered for fall. Silk ribbons are active for immediate shipment. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. (By Wire to the Mornint Star.) New York, Feb. 10. The specula tive spirit seems to be in a torpor for the present and, no operations are un dertaken in the stock market of any wide reaching significance or impor tance. The professional traders' deal ings, which make up the market, are of a kind which ar-e closed up from one day to another and often on the same day, a profit of a small fraction being sufficient to induce realization. An immediate factor Increasing the dull tendency today was the approach ing double holiday. Dull as was the maiket its action did not expose an uncheerful view of the outlook, the resistance to the early declining ten dency and the later sluggish upward movement suggesting a tenacious hold cn securities by present owners, in spite of the entire disinclination to take on new holdings. The few points of special strength in today's market had little to explain them. The rise in the Colorado Railroad group was in spite of reports of unprecedented snow blockades in that region. A rise In the London price of copper was made of some influence on the copper indus trials. The appearance of E. H. Har riman at a New York Central direc tors' meeting j,ave encouragement to hopes of his good physical condition. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, Were $5,050,000.
