view says: Cotton declined to points
closing quiet. Sales IS 400 bales. Liverpool
declined LIED on the spot and to ~ points
for future delivery. Spot sales 10000 bales;

Spot cotton here was easy, though

Southern spot markets were generally quiet
New Orleans declined Lice Charleston was
slightly easier and Savannah was weak New

The receipts at New Orleans tomorrow we're
estimated to be 800 TO 1900 laes. against
757 the same day last week and !, Sg5 last year.
Port receipts to-day were 2224 bales. against

to-day IA. St. Louis receipts were IS
bales against 165 last year; shipments to day
264 Houston receipts were 1853 bales against
53i last year; shipments to-day S54. The rain
fall for2l hours ending o clio TX last night was
hours very moderate everywhere. For the "A
ending s O'Clock this morning it was inch
at Wilmington, n. c. The signal service pre-
dilted generally fair and cooler weather in
the cotton belt during the next 81 hours,
Silver declined 7-l6d IN London. Favorable
crop advices and further decline in Liver
pool caused a small recession in prices here
today The dullness of trade and speculation
weighs heavily on the market, and so do the
large stocks and the disappointing condition
of the cotton goods business. The trade limit
is narrow and the fluctuations of prices are
spondingly embarrassing.
New York. May l6.-Riordan & Co. say of
cotton to day: Liverpool was unchanged at
the opening, and closed dull and SD lower.
Our opening was at decline OF 2 points, the
first trades in August heing at 706c. During
the first two hours the market was dull and
featureless. After m dday there was liberal
buying TO cover shorts, which caused an i'm
proyement. August advancing TO 710c
Part of this advance was retained until
the last hour, when prices weakened
under free offerings. The close was quiet
with Csc bid for August. Liverpool will he
closed tomorrow for the Whitesuntide holi-
days and will not reopen until next Monday
Meantime we shall have a weaker market
here. The fluctuations for the rest OF the
week are likely to depend almost entirely
upon the character of the reports received
from the fields. The market continues very
sensitive and while many believe that we
shall have still lower prices, very few are
now willing to incur the risk of selling short"
