TIE COTTON MARKET.

The cotton market yesterday showed a consider
able decline in values owing to the more favora-
bic reports which came to hand Of the subsiding
of the rivers in the cotton growing States.
Monday, when dispatches were coming in almost
hourly giving alarming accounts Of the floods and
ofthe damage that 1t was thought would Inevitably
follow to the growing crops, the market took q
sudden rise and vast amount OF speculation was
INDUCED in. The Liverpool market yesterday
however, failed to respond to the ''oull" move
ment on this side, and this, taken into consIdera-
ton with the determination OF the operators here
to send prices down, had It's eject on the ope n
ing OF the Exchange. Sellers. botn OF 'sspop'
cotton and Tor future delivery, were largely in
the majority. The market, consequently, showed
8 tendency TO give way, and finally steadily de-
three eighths lower than at the close o. the pre-
vious day. The market, however, It is but lair 10
say, did not exhibit healthy tone, and the ma
jorty OF the transactions which occurred through
out the day were purely OF speculative charac-
ter. In fact, as one OF the prominent officers OF
the Exchange SAID. IL was simply
A MANIPULATED MARKET,
and the decline was only brought about by the
"bears" determining that in their opinion prices
had gone high enough, and that they would, ir
possible send rates down.
The lull extent OF the damage likely to occur
to the crop cannot for some time be determin ed,
but from the indications at present given by
kilograms, the loss by the foods VIII not be so
severe as was at first anticipated.
At q meeting OF the members OF the Board OF
Managers, held yesterday. Messrs. Wagner ana
rights and privileges OF membership in the Cotton
Exchange.

TUESDAY, August SO p. M.
The stock market to-day Is entitled TO the palm
rs one OF the most undressing of the year. The
large operators are absent; there is little which
Invites speculation, and the prices marked during
business hours are not indicative OF the character
OF any plans that may be at work. II the damage
to the grain crop in the United States by storm
and food shall appear In fact as great as that
which is reported there is good TO believe
that new element will be introduced In the
commercial situation at a not distant day; but
we have to await results before describing the In-
puences that follow any change IN this depart
ment IL IL needless TO observe that the weather
reports are watched with great interest, for on
chem depend not o few Of the profits or losses
that may attach to the present opera
Eions. II Europe requires our grain, and
the home supply Is Interrupted by nature, that
which is left to.us win respond the law of sup
ply and demand, ana it will acquire higher
price and be not SO much or so suddenly moved
by the speculative efforts that have recently been
attempted to make an artificial market. In other
words, we may count, Ion something like real
value.
