NEW YORK, sept 4-Messrs. huDbaId
Price il Co.. in their cotton circular tonight.
say: An extreme advance of from G-Gi TO
7-6i was the response made by Liverpool to-
day TO the advance of yesterday IN this
market. At the close l-6f of the improve
ment had been lost but that portion which
was maintained was regarded as abundant III
comparison with yesterdays prices here, and
decline OF some 10 points here
Immediately sftor the opening was, there
fore. rather a surprise. A fresh demand.
however soon sprung up and IN the absence
OF sellers tho execution Of q few buying
orders sufficed TO put prices 90 Q. 80 for jan
uary. This figure apparently attracted some
substantial selling, which in turn forced the
execution Of stop orders and closed the
market steady about points below last
evenings closing. Spot sales in Liver

chester are strong and cloths firm.
Crop accounts are confusing and conflicting.
There Is, however. noticeable disposition
on the part Of many 70 modify their earlier
expressed views with regard 10 the extent of
the damage, and thore is further . tendency
on the part of conservative and large prO-
ducers and handlers of cotton 20 sell against
their prospective holdings the distant
futures, which are now at prices
which assure them fair profit Mean
time, however receipts continue small
the total for the week being "a 900 bales.
against 81 600 bales last year. The falling
of is due 20 well understood causes. The
weekly Liverpool statement shows that the
total stock has decreased AZ 600 bales during
the week and is now lS6, 900 more than last
year. The stock of American cotton, how
ever. Ia more than double what it was at this
time last year"

last week and 10000 last year. The inte-
rior movement points TO $1,000 bales. against
