Cotton T.attar-


 New York, July 16.-(Special)-Th cotton market was lively today. The Liverpool re- port was disappointing to the bears and our opening showed some improvement. This was lost a little later and prices receded to about the lowest point touched yesterday. But in the afternoon there was a revival of the desire to cover shorts and the market advanced sharply in August and moderate ly in the rest of the list. August opened at 6.6S, advanced to 675, receded to 6.67 and then suddenly became strong, advancing to 6.8i and closing at 6.S2 bid, with the tone steady. December after selling down to GIT reacted to 6.H and closed at 6.25 bid. On any further advance we favor selling all the months except August. As to August we can only repeat our warning that it is a very dangerous month, either to- buy or to sell We advise our friends to get out of it and to keep out of it.
