Messrs. Hubbard, Price & Co.'S cotton circu-
lar OF to-day says: The market started off
with fairly steady showing at about last
nights figures. AS the day wore on, however,
it became evident that long cotton was being
freely supplied to all bidders, and the market
commenced to decline and rapidly broke with
out any serious reaction until Csc for August
contracts was reached, and although prices re-
acted some 4l15 points at the close, the feeling
tonight is feverish and unsettled The an
nouncement late in the day that MesSrs. Walter
L. Miller & Co.. one of the oldest houses in the
trade here, were unable to meet their obliga-
tions, contributed much to the general feeling
