New York. June 4.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: 1.-The decline in cotton re-
ceived a decided check to-day. Liverpool
had sent us in the earlier cable another
bad break, but the Financial Chronicle $

whole there was more pressure to buy to-
gay than to sell. Shorts covered freely,
put the short interest is still believed to
