Cotton adv anced Mt the opening to-day in response to
q rise in Liverpool. The Improvement, however. was
very slight and short lived. Tho Liverpool news. on
the whole, was disappointing, and. together with re.
ports OF light rains ut several Texas points. induced
some longs to liquidate. causing q reaction. Light
showers were reported in North and South Carolina
ana Georgia, and the weekly Government report was
bearish. celebrating the decline in the most active
sional character. The weekly Government report
stated that cotton has continued to make favorable
progress over tho central and eastern portions OF the
cotton belt, but in Missouri. Texas. and portions OF
Louisiana and Arkansas Il continues to suffer from
drought; that in Texas, however. the crop is with.
tisipated. but is opening prematurely aud shedding.
