New York Cotton Market.

New YORK, June 20.-Liverpool this
morning reported spot cotton quiet at
l-l6 decline, with sales of 1000 bales.
Futures were dull at net decline of 4
to 5-64, closing barely steady, which was
construed as decidedly discouraging,
and in consequence our market opened
off 10 to IL points, and in the late
trading scored a further drop of 5
points. There seems to be a perfect
dearth of speculation. The Western
States have experienced such financial
disasters that it is feared the South will
follow suit, as money is hard to find,
even on gilt edge collateral, which nat
urally suggests deterioration in all cases
of speculation. While we have always
manifested hope that all the products
would improve in value for the reason
that it sustains prosperity we have re.
peatedly cautioned our friends to buy
only on decided concessions. The South
ern markets are quiet and steady at un
changed prices, while our local market
is bullish at decline.
