New York, Aug. 13-The cotton market
opened steady with prices l to points low
er, the decline falling mainly on the new
crop positions. August received special
support in the way of buying orders from
Philadelphia. Following the first call the
market further declined l to points. The
weakness was the result of unfavora bic
and disappointing foreign advces and
generally favorable crop accounts. About
the only support the market came in the
way of buying against short con-
tracts. During the afternoon the market
was quiet and practically in the hands of
the local contingent, with a weak UNDER
tone, and finally quiet and steady at net
decline of TO points, except on August,
which showed a net gain of points on
spinners' buying. Total sales, 50, 100 bales.

New York, Aug. 13.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: prices in the cotton
market were again lower to-day Liver
pool sadly disappointed the bulls this
morning. Instead of advancing as ex-
pected. that market declined 11a-64d. The
opening here was 8 points lower, the first
sales of January being made at 7c. Heavy
selling orders from Liverpool and more
rains in Texas caused a further easing
after opening and January declined to
6.97c. Liberal short covering then re-
suited in a rally of a few points, but the
demand was soon supplied and the mar
ket gave way again and closed quiet ana
steady, with 697c bid for January. Au-
gust on light trading scored a net advance
of points for the day. Manipulation is
present in that month, but there is little
general interest in it,
