New York, May H-The cotton market
opened steady at a decline of 3d5 points
on near positions, and 142 points on the
new crop months. The opening figures
we're the lowest of the session. Following
the first call. the market commenced TO
rally. The summer months showed relative
strength throughout the session. The
market closed steady, ! point lower to 2
points higher, with total sales of &c. 400
bales. The spot cotton market contin-
ued to hold commanding strength through
out the session. The early weakness of
the market was the result OF disappoint-
ing cables; the Liverpool advices on spot
cotton showing a decline of i-32d and Of
only 1000 bales, were particularly disap-
pointing, In view Of the rally made by
our market yesterday afternoon.

New York. May M-Riordan e. co. say OF
change to-day consisted chiefly OF undoing
OF stradd.es by Liverpool. The market
did not broaden at all and offers from any
other source were very scarce Liverpool
surprised every one by declining two and
one half sixty-fourths on the near months
this morning. The next crop, however,
declined but slightly. This course was re-
nected by our market, which opened 4
points down on the near and only / point
down on the late months. An absence OF
any pressure TO sell and the Liverpool buy
ing resulted In an advance after the open
ing. but the market was decidedly dun.
Manipulation OF July continued. August
opened al 7.34c, advanced 20 1890, and
closed at 7.3sc 10 1880, with the tone Of the
market steady. In the face Of the weak
ness In Liverpool, the strength OF our mar
ket Is remarkable ana indicates the exist
ence OF only small and strongly held
long interest"
