MeSSrS Hubbard, Price Co. say: The
cotton market has been without redeeming
feature during the day, and at the close prices
were easy The sentiment of the room is very
bearish, and eavy receipts at the ports, with
continued large interior movement, is convert
ing many of those hitherto believing in speedy
u
crop are now considered abundantly dis
proved, and with large estimates the belief in
lower prices is becoming more general. weak
long cotton is being sold and few buyers APP
pearing the market declines on offerings. Short
sales are being made In confidence of a decline,
and at the moment there is no feature of
strength Short interest, however, is nervous
one and with anv cheek in the decline would
cover quickly. Liverpool is very bearlsh. The
opening here was two points below the close of
yesterday. Some steadiness was shown after
the first call, but slight rally could not be held
and during the afternoon prices declined stead
lily until the close. Business was discontinued
from 1880 to 1870 p. m. out of respect to the
late C. L. Greene"
