New Iorll. May 8.-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton: n his has been a very dull day in
cotton. A slight improvement in Liverpool
stimulated the demand at the opening and
prices advanced 3 points as compared with
Saturdays closing. August selling at 1I1c
But buying seemed to be confined to timid
shorts, and in a very few minutes the market
became easier, August being sold and offered
at 7.73c. Within the points included between
these extremes prices huctuated sluggishly
all day. There was an active support to the
market vet traders seemed afraid to sell
short, and as there was comparatively few
orders the market was more nearly stationary
than any day for many weeks. Crop adViceS
to-day are rather better than they we're last
week. but everybody is waiting for the bureau
report on Wednesday next"
