New York. May 25.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: Liverpool was closed
TODAY and our market was rather DUH
and sluggish. August opened at 7SSc,
declined to 7.S3c, rallied to 1880 and closed
al 791c bid, with the tone quiet and steady.
Crop accounts were very good and Sep
TENDER and the later months developed
no strength and closed at about the same
prices as on Saturday. Much diversity OF
opinion prevails as to whether we are to
nave another squeeze in the summer
months. The only advice we care to give
our friends to those months is to keep
New York, May 25.-The Sun says of
to-day's cotton market: Cotton closed
generally unchanged to hve points high
er, with the tone quiet and steady and
the sales 400 bales. Spot cotton here
was unchanged, with sales of 1,754 bales
aFa frerrc zrnfv inc dow
features: There was said to be some dan
ger of an overflow of the Mississippi at
St. Louis, the receipts at the ports were
light (they are estimated at the ports were
the week, against 2S0OO for the same week
last year,; the exports were liberal, and
there was considerable covering of shorts
by local houses. one house in particular,
Van Ripper e Co, were liberal buyers 1t
is denied that there has been any private
settlement of shorts during the past week.
Speculation was on a moderate scale for
Liverpool was closed and Liverpool is a
monitor or censor that nobody affects to
disregard. The rise, under the circum-
stances was moderate. Gold exports have
been resumed, and some merchants fear
they will be heavy this week. Some of
the spot markets were lower, and as for
the danger of an overflow in the Missis-
sippi, it is said that the leVeeS in the lower
part of that river were never in better
condition than now. Then the financial
and political situations are not such as
TO inspire confidence. There are fears of
financial wabbling and political straddling
that may have decidedly detrimental eff
feet upon business generally. Still so far
as cotton is concerned, the statistical po-
sition is hullish and at has powerful friends
here and at the south, while the bears
from time to time will be tempted to over
do the short selling and thus give their
opponents a chance to smite them hip
and thigh
DRY GOODS.
New York, May 25.-The week opens
with a quiet demand in all departments
or the dry goods market. Attendance of
buyers is moderate and chilly noticeable
