Co. say of cotton to-day: The cotton
market to-day was more lively than IL
mas been for many day. The bull leader
was buying heavily in person in the early
trading, advancing August from 1880, the
opening price, to 7.SSc. In the flrst hour
the market was very strong. In the lat
ter part of this hour the leader was sell
lng heavily through dozen brokers, but
the excitement and scare among the
shorts was so great that it was some time
before his unloading was noticed. Before
noon, however, prices had very percepti-
ply eased. Glowing accounts from the
south, of the season and the planting
outlook, helped to encourage selling, and
the close was lower than the opening.
august closing al 7S2c. The fall months
We're especially weak No one can tell
whether the squeeze In the early months
IS over or not, but unless the crop ac-
cunt should become very bad II seems
akely that we will have a lower market
