NEW YORK. August 5.-Hubbard. Price Il
Co.'S daily cotton letter. The Liverpool
market to-day failed TO show any response
90 the stability of prices in America, and
prices at ] o'clock were about points under
yesterdays figures. There was not, how
ever, any conspicuous pressure 20 sell, and
the decline IS the result Of dullness rather
than of any inherent weakness. We're It
not for the gloomy character Of the adylces
from both commercial and financial centres
abroad We are inclined 10 think the large
buying of cotton would make itself felt at
these prices.
During the afternoon the market steaded
slightly and closed points under last eve
Dings figures and ] TO points over the

voted 11-f6 of a cent lower for spot cotton.
