New York. May 5.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day In sympathy with
decline in Liverpool, cotton opened about
points lower this morning, August sell
ing on the call at 6.66c., but the offerings
were quickly absorbed and prices present
ly hardened. In the last hour the market
showed considerable strength. The close
was steady, with 6.73c bid for August
Final prices were only a shade lower
than those of yesterday. The general
feeling is that if war between Russia and
Japan should be averted a sharp advance
in cotton may be looked for. Meantime
nobody seems to think that there is any
serious risk in buying cotton at present
prices"
