 New York Cotton Market.
 New York, Sept 21.-The cotton mar ket opened steady. The first call devel- oped an advance of 4 to points and considerable activity, as the result of buying orders acc'lmuiating over night and local disposition to cover short con tracts, the latter stimulated by indica- tions of cold weather in the cotton belt with privae wires of a more bdllish pur- port. Following the advances on the first call, however, the market eased off and showed considerable irregularity with the more active positions, closing several points from the top Of the ses- sion. Declines on liquidation of long ac counts was feature, while tbe bear ele- ment was inclined to be conservative on fears of cold weather. The decline w2s largely the result of increasing receipts at liverpool and advices from the inter for pointing to a burdensoTe movement at the towns. The bureau crop report made it's appearance at 12;30 D. m., .at which time the market showed a net ad- vance of to 5 points. The bursau re- port was decidedly bad, except fer some slight improvement in Texas. Yet it fell flat and the marked subsequently, eas+d off little. In the late afternoon the market was very quiet but rallied Q nt- tie just before the close in covering.
