SUMS Cotton Rav,ew.

New York, July 1.-The SUMS cotton re-
view says: Cotton advanced l to points
but lost the improvement and declined to
4 points, closing dull with sales of G6 800
bales.
Today's features: The first prices were
slightly higher, owing to a rise in Liverpool,
after which, however there was a down
ward reaction caused by private dispatches
reporting rains in Texas. Liverpool, which
advanced early in the day equal to about 7
points in our money, lost most of the i'm
provement before the close and this fact
contributed in a measure to the recession
here. Besides, the stock market was lower
further gold exports were announced and
the silver faction, merchants fear will car
ry things with a high hand at the demo-
cratic convention at Chicago. In the mean
time the speculation here is of very small
proportions. The crop outlook in the At
lantic states is more favorable than recent
ly. A short time ago those states were COM
planning of too much rain; now they are
having the needed dry and warm weather
Still the decline here was not great, for
Texas needs copious rains and they did not
come today, nor are they predicted for the
next thirty-six hours. Prices are by many
considered low enough for the present. The
majority of operators are disposed to keep
close to shore and await events.
