New York, Aug. S.-Riordan & Co. saw
ql cotton to-day: I'm the absence of
Liverpool cables our market was ex-
Iemely sensitive to-day. There was a
oIlSK demand for cotton at the opening
ala January sold on the call at z cents
ram reported at points in Mississippi and
GeoIsla caused January to decline to 6.S6c
a renewed demand to cover shorts caused
60 1r@ctloh TO 6.9lc. Then, just before the
Ciose, the announcement of heavy rains
az several places in Texas encouraged
,.esh selling, and January again declined
~ O'eS4b.SOc, at which price it closed with
f ,it zone steady. Prices in the immediate
Iuture will be ruled absolutely nv the
weather reports from the south. but
vi, wngtn Iesr the market should go up or down,
Re oeneVe that the injury which the crop
i las already sustained is too serious, and
ttIeparable to justify any big break in val
aes We think we have already seen
+U"er prices for the coming crop than
we are likely to see again.
