New York, May 7.-Rordan & Co. say of
cotton to-day: THE cotton market was
sluggish and auctuating to-day August
opened at S.11c. advanced to S.14c, declined
to soc, but rallied and closed at S.1lc,
with the tone steady. Mr.. lnman seemed
TO take no part in the trading, although
many suspect that he was liberal seller.
He still predicts higher prices. We advise
our friends TO let the summer months Sc
verely alone and to sell the fall and Win
ter deliveries on all rallies.
New York. May THE sun says: To
days features in cotton We're: The lead
ing bull let the market take care of itself
to-day and prices declined. The Liverpool
news was depressing, for though the spot
market there was more active IMAM II
has been for along time past, prices there
We're lower. Then. too, there was some
realizing here. There was reaction up
ward at one time in which ali OF the loss
was recovered, but the market weakened
again before the close and declined 1T to
about the lowest prices of the day. The
trading was less active and the fuctua-
tons were within narrow limits: The crop
ROWS to-day was favorable. The exports
from the ports were small.
