New York, Sept. 1O-The long looked for
and much talked of government report
was received to-day promptly at IL m. AS
is usual on the day the monthly report is
issued, but little business was done
throughout the forenoon. After opening
steady at unchanged prices to a decline
! of point the market sagged off 203 points
| following unsatisfactory. Liverpool ca
| bles and lack of local, as we'll as outside
support. AT noon the crop condition was
| officially announced as 1873, or SO points
under the August condition There was a
| scramble of shorts to cover Immediately,
and for Is minutes trading was very
| heavy. Prices advanced 4d6 points be-
| fore a breathing spell was taken. New
| Orleans and foreign representatives were
| the principal sellers on the bulge. The
| January option monopolized the larger
| part of the attention The
market continued to improve
| throughout the afternoon, I'M
til just before the close, when a slight re-
action followed, selling for profits. At the
best point of the day prices showed a
| gain of 10013 points on the active options.
| The market closed steady at a net gain of
| 368 points.

| New York, Sept. 10.-Riordan & Co,
say of cotton 1.-THE cotton market was
| quite lively to-day. The bureau report
! was decidedly bullsh. 1t made the condi-
| ton of the crop rs $40 per cent. against
/ Sc $40 per cent. last month, and g. 2-10
| per cent. last year. An advance of one
| half sixtv-fourth in Liverpool this morn
| ing was regarded as insufficient, and the
| market here opened unchanged. The fore
noon was very dull. After the publication
Of the goverT ment's report, the market
| became firm. and was at one time buoyant.
| Heavy realizing sales however, checked
| the advance. New Orleans sold moderately
| during the day and Liverpool bought in
| the e.o~,;oon. January opened at 6.S3c,
! fluctuating between 6.S5c and 6.S1c until
| the bureau was announced. then advance
| ed to .y4c, and closed al 6.90c TO 6.9lc, with
| the tone of the market steady.
THE movement for the week was heavy
when compared with former years, except
| the phenomiDally early crop of last year
! we think prices win improve"
