of small trading at the cotton exchange.
entire transactions in futures reaching but
$1,000 bales. The first call developed a
steady market with prices l point lower to
l point higher. After further advance
of 1id2 points on light buying in the near
months, prices eased off 4d6 points under
several reports of good rains in the vicin-
ity of Cuero, Southern Texas The mar
ket was finally steady at a net loss Of 8
points to an advance of / point. Aside
from a Slight improvement in spot there
was nothing in Liverpool advces to influ-
ence local sentiment which was bearishly
inclined, under generally favorably ac-
counts from the cotton belt. While crop
news was Enthusiastically favorable to cot
ton the strength of the statistical position
had its effect on aggressive bear hammer
ing Bulls, on the other hand, We're han
dicaped by the absence of the customary
outside interest. But few buying orders
were received and the market was in the
hands of the room traders throughout the
session.

New York, July 30-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: This was another extremely
quiet day in the cotton market There
were no developments of interest and bus
mess was on a moderate scale. Liverpool
this morning responded to yesterdays adj
vance here by cabling us the report of a
rise of about one-siXty-fourth in that
market. The advance there was lost later
in the day. Our market opened about the
same as it closed last night, January SELL
ing on the first call at 7.09c. The market
stiffened a little after the opening, but the
good crop advices induced some selling,
and prices eased. January declined to 7.O6c.
Buyers then took hold and the loss was
recovered January advancing to 7.09c and
closing at 7.CS to 7.09c, with the tone of the
market steady. The trading in August to-
day was by no means of a sensational
character but that month was the stead
lest of the list. Operators generally seem
determined to await new developments
before entering the market to any great
extent. The Liverpool market will not
open again until Tuesday next"
