In the local market cotton closed quiet
today with sales 50 bales, all to spinners
Spots closed steady toda " with futures
Quiet aud steady, at a decline Of TO .
points Liverpool closed quiet, little doing,
with futures quiet aud unchanged. At New
York spots closed quiet and futures dull,
but steady and unchanged.
Hubbard, Price a Co., in their cotton cir
cular say: Liverpool opened this morning
apparently undisturbcd by the decline OF
yesterday in this market and prices there
were substantially unchanged, though the
sales of actual cotton are very small, as was
TO be expected Of Saturday. AT the open
ing here there was some show Of strength,
and the execution of some buying orders adj
vanood the market 3 or 1 points above the
lowest prices OF yesterday. From this, how
ever, they gradually settled back 10 1888
for August and this figure was about the
established price for the balance OF the day.
As far as can be determined by a superficial
view, the weaker speculative interest In the
market now seems pretty well liquidated,
and considerable further decline will be
needed 10 reach any fresh range of stop or
dcrs, while the relatively low prices Of con.
tracts rs compared with spots is again begin.
ming 20 attract attention Of buyers. Crop
accounts are on the whole favorable but
some Of the recent reports from Texas and q
portion Of the upland region indicate that

secondly. the discovery of truth and
accumulation of knowledge, so that
vastly more wealth may be created,
and the purposes Of the mind may be
expanded and REINFORCED. Poverty s
slavery. and iguorance is the pcrpetua-
