New York, May 19.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-Eay: Another very dull
day in cotton, with a light gain in prices,
caused by the covering of timid shorts
August opened at sic, declined to 8O9c
rallied to S.13c and closed at S11c bid
with the tone quiet and steady. After
the close prices eased, August being freely
offered at 8.11c. Mr.. Inman, who was
a seller of August at S.13c to-day, said
this afternoon that he thought it hardly
lair to attribute the wide difference here
between the near and the far months to
manipulation based upon the small stock
OF spot cotton here available for delivery
on contract. He called attention to the
TACT that in Liverpool, where there is a
stock of nearly 100000 bales. the differ
ences are nearly as wide as with us. This
Is true, but nobody here questions the
fact that it is Mr.. Inman's hand that sus-
tains the market, and the impression is
equally general that if his support were
known to be withdrawn, fully one half
the difference between the near and the
distant months would melt away both
mere and in Liverpool in a single day.
New York, May 19-The Sun says of
cotton: Cotton advanced one to three
points, closing quiet and steady, with
sales of 1900 bales. To-day's features: A
slight advance took place IN spite of some
drawbacks. For instance, the speculation
was light, the spot markets here and
abroad were DUH, Manchester was life
less. Fall River and Providence were in
ABOUT the same predicament, and the crop
news was generally favorable. Good rains
We're reported at Bennettsvlle S. c. The
stocks of raw cotton held by northern mills
N TINS country and also by mills on the
vo4unent OF Europe ere larger than us
On record during the coming season. At
