New York Aug. 17.-Riordan Co.. say of
| cotton: Liverpool sent US u bad break to-
day and our decline continued. January
opened points lower at 755c and during the
day fell points more, selling down to 7.5Oc.
The close was steady with 7.52c bid for Janu-
airy. The decline has been so rapid and con
| tinuOuS that many of the bears have grown
| timid about selling short, and the steadiness
| OF the market this afternoon was entirely due
| TO the covering of reports. Nobody at the
moment can ind any good reason why cotton
should advance and nobody seems to want to
| be long of cotton over night. But the wariest
| operators say that the feeling that the staple
/ is going still lower is a trife too unanimous
and fear q sudden turn in the market at any
| moment when 1t may be discovered that no
| body wants to sell If this should occur the
| shorts will bid prices up against each other
| and twist would result which even If tempo
! rary might be severe enough to be remember
| ed, The crop is not yet safe and prudent
| traders, while still bearish, are keeping close
! to shore.
