New York, Aug. 5.--Very little specula-
tive interest was manifested on the Cot
ton Exc ange to-day. The drst call devel-
oped a steady feeling with first prices at
unchanged prices to 3 points decline, the
decline being due to an absence of buyers
than a predOmnance of sellers. After
steady increasing TO last nights on light
covering by shorts, the market became
speculatively fiat and for the rest of the
day exhibited no animation whatever.
Liverpool cables were summed Up as re-
flecting a stupidity duh market for fu
lures with fluctuations too narrow to be
worthy of consideration, while crop
and weather reports were about a stand
off. The few orders that cana to hand
We're in nearly all instances at limits which
prohibited their execution. The market
closed quiet with prices l point higher 10
l point net lower.

New York, Aug. 5.--Hubbard Bros. &
Co., say of cotton: mo change can be
found in the condition that have for SO
long dominated the market Weather is
rather better in the Southwest aud Missis-
sippi valley. Exporters report the first
purchase of cotton for shipment TO Liver
pool. Receipts from the old crop at South
ern interior points are large which would
seem to indicate a good outlook for the
growing crop. New. crop receipts promise
10 be small as there is no inducement in
the price TO rush cotton to market, while
the crop is not early. Traders are univer-
sally bearish, but timed and any demand
quickly shows the absence of sellers TEc
market depends upon the wcathec."
