SUMS cotton report: The cotton market
advanced four points, but lost the I'M
provement, and closed unchanged from
yesterday. and ] point lower on August,
with the tone easy and the sales u,9l
bales.
To-day's features: Again the market
gave evidence OF firm undertone. Liver
pool was closed, and some OF the private
adylces from that market were rather
unfayorable. Furthermore, a decline IN
ginghams was reported In Boston, and
dry-goods here In New York were as dul
as ever. Ii Is said that the Texas acreage
Will be increased something IKE 70 pei
cent. The Cuban and Venezuelan ques-
tlons are more or less disturbing factors
i'm the general trade situation; gold ex-
ports have been rumored; there Is still
talk of short time In New England and
at the South. unless the trade increases
in the near future. In the mean time spot
latlon, everybody knows II IL extremely
dull. Why, then. did the market advance
to-day? Why is 1t that the bears are eau
tious? They are predicting an unprece-
dented acreage and an unheard-of cro?
but prices failed to decline.
CHANGING at the other side OF the sltua-
tion we find that the exports within a
week or ten days have been quite liberal,
that the receipts are moderate; that the
estimate for New Orleans tomorrow is
extremely small and that the stocks In
this country are light. We find that the
shorts are timid. rather than aggressive

light, in the absence OF Liverpool advices
and the early advance here was lost be-
fore the close.
