DhilN Cotton Report.
NEW YORK, August 29.-The Posts cot
ton report says: The position OF August
delivery Is somewhat an Ominous one.
the bull party having disposed OF 4 con.
siderable quantity for export aud count
ed on sharp advance this month. but
the position OF the bears In holding so
much actual cotton, which they are likely
TO deliver on their contracts, prevents
the expected upward movement. How
ever, the leading bears predict q sharp
advance in September, after they have
completed their August deliveries, as the
market will then be largely relieved OF
spot cotton. At the third call August
was sold at 12.S3c.
