New York. Aug. 2O-The cotton market
| opened steady al a decline of 4G16 points.
| Liverpool advances at the opening, being
disappointed by showing sales of only 1905
| bales spot cotton at a decline of 1920,
| while the future list showed d decline of
| std. Current gossip in circulation at the
| opening reflected bearish sentiments and
| regarding the size of crop, but fears that
/ the market had been oVersold led to eau
ton and some of the more timid shorts
| were induced to cover. especially as there
| were some complaints of damage in the
! Gulf and Atlantic states, owing to excess
| sive moisture. Outside orders were very
| scarce up to noon, when the local profess
/ siOnal contingent were entirely in control
of the market. During the afternoon the
market, though quiet, maintained a steady
| undertone Just before the Close New Or
| leans sent in buying orders and sharp
| advance followed, with the market finally
! steady at a net advance of points to a
| net decline of 3 points.
