1855 last year"
New York May 12.-Riordan & Co. say OF
cotton; Liverpool sent us a sharp decline
today, closing without any recovery and
barely steady. Our opening was : points
lower, August selling 765c. The market then
became dull and remarkably steady, the
fluctuations of the day being within very
narrow range, the highest price at which Au-
gust sold having been 7.G0c and the lowest
I.6S The close was quiet with 76ic bid for
August. The crop accounts to-day were good.
The financial outlook. instead Of improving,
Is getting worse and II is hard, at the
moment to discern anything TO
encourage buying cotton for investment The
only thing that sustained the market today
was the magnitude Of the short interest.
Early in the day II leaked out that there were
heavy buying orders to cover shorts at 7.b3,
wherever August was offered at sc. But II
Liverpool should break again tomorrow, we
are likely to see lower prices than any that
yet have been touched this year"
