New York Cotton Market.

New York. May 20-The cotton market opened quiet at decline of 1 to points, cables being unsatisfactory and crop ac- counts generally favorable. Following the opening ~cal there was some irregularity with 'asfurther decrease of to 5 points, att tended by feeble rallies and finished steady with a net decline of to points. The un- dertone of the market remains weak, how ever. Some of tCday's crop news was ex- tent contradictory. Selling was arrested by activity in spot cotton, SaeS of which reach ed 5,724 bales, including 3,S09 bales for ex- pofE and 2415 bales spinners. This led to sonie covering and steadied the market for a. tine, but local sentiment was inclined to beshearish in the absence of speculative competition for cotton, notwithstanding the increasing strength of the statistical posi- stiens.

The trading in the stock r was at times very animated, but large giprbportion of the sales were made in small lots many successive sales of 100 shares bs- ing recorded with decline of ls or even 4 on each sale This caused GredenEe to f,oD pe which served to help on the decline.

The market was also relieved of yesterdays heavy weight of Chicago Gas saes, the price of the book rallying to small extent on the decision of the Illinois legislature to consider it's adverse vote on the consolida- ton bill. New Jersey Central and Chicago Gas together were credited with 67,000 out of a total of 150,000 shares of all stocks sold. The railway list moved very narrow near the close, with slight changes.

August contracts apparently are. . gradually passing into strong hands, and while we expect temporarily lower prices, we think it highly imprudent to go short of any of the summer months.
