New York, May 17.-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton to-day; Without the support of fiv.
erpool cotton made further progress to-day
The market opened 2 or points lower
August selling on the call at 703c Prices
held up fairly well during most of the day
august, at times rallying to 7.05c; but in the
last hour the feeling seemed to spread that
lower prices were almost inevitable and
commission houses began to sell very freely
There was no buying power in the market
TO absorb the offerings, and the
of the long decline The close was easy at
the loves. of the day 6.97c being bid for Au-
gust. The crop accounts to day were very
favorable and the nat condition of trade, to-
gether with the absolute indifference OF con
gress is the suffering of the people, gives
everybody hopeless feeling Perhaps the
phenomenal decline in wheat which touched
the lowest figure to-day may have contributed
TO the weakness, but the decline of August
below cents was due TO sudden liquidation
and rather surprised even the bears"
New York, May 1.-THE Suns cotton re-
port says: Cotton declined to points
closing easy. Sales SO, 700 bales Holiday in
Liverpool and Manchester. New Orleans de-
cllned points. Spot cotton here declined
l-l6c, Sales $50 bales to export, and 300 bales
Tor spinning he close was quiet and steady.
The southern spot markets were generally
quiet and unchanged. Port receipts were
2236 bales, against 2,4l7 bales last week, and
4599 bales last year, Receipts thus far this
week 1878 bales, against ,944 bales during
the same time last week New Orleans
receipts tomorrow were estimated at | 300
against 2el last week and ,024 bales last year.
Everything seemed to conspire to put down
cotton to-day. Weather tolerable: trade con
tinued dull; absence Of speculative life; no
sustaining news from England where the
markets were closed silver was declining,
and the sharp break in wheat had a bad
effect on cotton through the usual sympathy
OF one great product with another. The crop
movement is light and the American supply
is by no means large, but the bearish condi-
tions carried the day. There is a specially
heavy liquidation for so narrow market in
August"
