New York, Aug. 6.-Riordan & Co. say
| of cotton: The see-saw continued in the
| cotton market to-day. This time prices
went up a little. Liverpool advanced one
half sxty-fourths, and there was no pres
sure here from any source The opening
was 1 to points higher January selling
| on the first call al 7.15c. New Orleans
and Liverpool were both moderate buyers
! in this market and the local bull made the
most of the continued dry and excessively
hot weather on the Texas crop. Condi-
| tions elsewhere, however were good Jan
uary advanced to 722c. There was con-
| prices eased. January closed at III to
| 7lSc with the tone of the market steady.
! Unless crop reports from the southwest
improve soon, the market will probably go
! higher
