the POSTS cotton report says: 1.-THE con-
tlnucd pressure to sell future deliveries
caused a decline Of l0-lC0c of the price Of
August, 2-l0Oc Of September, and 7-l0Oc to
5-lUJc IN all the later months. At this rate
the price may soon be reached TO attract at
tcntIOu. for the crop is not vet made. It will
be late one, and stocks are getting into a
small compass. At the same time, il Is right
to mention that there is some talk of 9l5c,
reasoning on value is useless. Its future
course manly depends upon the quantity
that will have 10 be sold by the balls and
upon the courage of the bears, and how far
they will follow the downward movement.
The third call showed an improvement Of
2 lOOc 10 4 l00c. September sold at 10 &c and
April at 10 CSC. Futures closed steady, with
August 4-l00c, September 7-100c, and the
balance l-lOOc to 2-l00c lower than yester-
day.

600 p. m.-The course Of the grain market
to day was downward. owing to easier for
ign adylces. and during the afternoon session
by reports Of failures in New York, none of
which, however, were verified. 1t was ex-
pected that the forthcoming report of the
\ gricultural Bureau at Washington, esti-
mating this years yield of wheat at less than
500, OO0,O 900 bushels, would prove an element of
strength IN view OF the former estimates, but
the report came too late, and prices dropped
low. Cash wheat on the afternoon board
dropped TO s3lzc and closed at S05Sc, with Au-
gust at the same figures, September at Sic,
October at S3c and November at sac. Corn
took the same course as wheat, ruling weak
during the entire session and closing lc under
yesterd y on the regular board and declining
! e on the afternoon board. August closing at
557sc, September at 523sc, October at 5l14c and
November at 1876. Oats ruled firm early, but
finally became &c lower than yesterday, clos
ing at 251sc for August and $3.50 for Septem-
Der. There was practically no trading in
pork except as settlement. Lard ruled easy,
closing at SIC. The receipts Of wheat and
corn were very heavy.
