New York Cotton Market.

New York, July 2.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 014 points, after which there was a sharp collapse, with prices finally 2 points lower to points higher as compared with yesterdays final figures. The market closed barely steady Business was more active than it has been for some weeks, sales footing up 155, 700 bales. The early rise was due to unexpect- ed stability at Liverpool, as shown by to- days cables, supplemented by conflicting reports from the cotton belt, many of them reporting excessive heat and protracted drought. This led to covering. In addition to. this there was considerable buying on the belief that following the 4th. business in the general way would broaden. In the afternoon, however long cotton came out freely. following the accumulation of con -siderab ble long interest, and the early ad- vances were lost The market for spot cot ton continued to hold a strong relation to the future list on an active demand from northern spinners, with some further in- quiry from northern mills.
