New York, June 5.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton NO relief from the remarkable
duTlness in the cotton market has been
forthcoming this week. The entire specu-
lative world seems to be at sea in it's
opinion upon the future course OF prices
and determine to await further develop
ments before entering the market on
either side The hedging Of spot trans
actions and fertilizers sales seems to have
been abandoned, also, for the present.
The appearance of any feature that would
influence sharp fluctuations would be hall
ell with joy by the bulls and bears alike.
Liverpool was closed to-day and our mar
Ret was almost dead. August opened at
7isc, advanced to 7.l9c, declined to TIC.
and closed at Tic fat, with the tone Of
the market duh.
The crop reports that have been and
are now being received from the south
are not good, but they assert with great
uuanimity that, Ia spite OF the late and
poor start, the fields are remarkably well
cultivated; that no serious damage has
yet been done, and that the speedy APP
pearance Of favorable weather will cause
wonderful improvement ia short orders.
The universal belief here and throughout
the south that the beneficial weather nee
essary Will be had IN ample time, has de-
tered the development OF any buying
enthusiasm based upon the present poor
reports. The general business outlook
seems slightly better, and this has been
reflected by a sharp rise IN stocks this
week. The near approach TO completion
OF the tariff legislation is responsible for
q more encouraged tone The chances. ..
course, are IN favor OF more seasOuabic
weather IN the south. but unless IL comes
ana quickly. bringing with Il better crop
reports, we should have some advance"
