New York, May 4..-The cotton market
ruled generally weak, cables from Liver
lool ana the continent being disappoint-
ing, the weather and crop news of a bear
ish average and the southern spots mar
kets showed an easier tendency. Opening
with prices unchanged to points lower,
the first call was followed by further de-
cline of 4Q5 points. Efforts were made
by the bear contingent to force out long
cotton, but selling was checked by conflict
ing accounts regarding the condition of the
banks OF the Mississippi river, some wires
claiming that the water was only held in
check by superhuman efforts. But little
Importance was attached to these dis
patches yet they served to stop the hear
raids in connection with the strong stats
teal position. The close was quiet at a
net decline Of 4d7 points
