New York, Aug. 27--The bear faction
had things pretty much their own way
to-day in cotton. Ca bles indicated a
sluggish market for futures at Liverpool,
while crop accounts were generally siZ-
ed up as bearish and crop estimates had
an expanding tendency that proportion
ately increased the courage of the shorts
and led to considerable business in the way
of putting out additional lines on the, bear
side of the account. There was a dis
position to ignore the somewhat conflict
ing character of crop reports from Attain
tic sections and the Gulf states, the av-
erage of which was less favorable. The
market opened easy at a decline of 415
points, further declined gas points on the
more active positions, or 5Q7 points from
the top prices of the morning. The best
point of the session was reached just be-
fore noon, but at best, the market was 30
3 points under yesterdays closing except
for August, which at best showed an ad-
vance of 5 points, and September. which
reached 7.37c, last nights closing figures
In the afternoon the marked was weak
and unsettled for the most part, closing
easy with August 4 points higher and
other months 6Q1O points over.

New York, Aug. H.-Rordan & co. say
of cotton to-day: Liverpool continued
her leadership towards lower prices for
cotton to-day. I hat market declined three
sixty-fourths. The day developed consider
ably less active here, than recently. but
prices were substantially lower. The mar
ket opened two to five points down. Liqu-
dation and bear attacks sent prices still
lower after the opening. The decline.
however. attracted buying orders and the
market rallied again 10 the opening fig

cour1ged bulls caused a fresh break TO
