NEW YORK. June 5.-Messrs. Hubbard. Price q
Co. in their cotton circular tonight say: De-
spite an advance in the new crop positions in
Liverpool to-day near futures were lower, and
this evidence Of weakness, combined with a re-
port emanatlng from New Orleans to the effect
That the Georgia state commissioning denied
the rumOrs current with regard TO the cOndi-
ton 10 the crop in that State. led to a decline of
about five points in the near positions and SIX to
seven IN the distant during. the early trading
here. Similar kilograms so Liverpool resulted
in breaking that market alont two points, the
close being easy. With the view OF ascer-
tanning the exact facts with regard
30 the Georgia report wired W.. !; .Nes-
bitt, the commissioner and have the following
reply; Acreage Of cotton ia 90 per cent. as com,
pared with 1890 Tins as soon as known caused
a prompt recovery in values, the Improvement
being most pronounced in new crop months.
January sold at 9.l4, OF within four points OF the
highest figures touched on the advance last
month. Active trading Is gradually transferring
itself to the new crop months, while August
and the months this side OF II remain rela-
lively heavy as a result of the large stocks and
enormous receipts. IL L. undeniable that the

henslOn with regard TO the government
report to be issued on the 10Th instant.
