New York, Aug. 19-While trading was
not particularly active to-day, the cotton
market showed quite a wide range of
fluctuations. The opening cali developed
a steady feeling with first sales at an
advance of 3d5 points over the final fg-
ures of yesterday. Shorts were the prin-
cipal buyers being driven in by reports
of damage 10 the crop In the eastern re-
gion of the cotton belt, by further rains
during the past twentyfOur hours. Mod
crate buying for European account added
to the firmer ruling of the market Tor
a time Later however demand from
shorts ceased and buying for foreign in
terests being satisfied the market showed
symptoms of easing off. The bear fac
ton was not slow to see their advantage
and sold vigorously, with the result that
by midday the early gain had been sup
planted by a loss of 1Q2 points. Specu-
lation Jagged in the afternoon and Vari-
atoms in quotations We're comparatively
insignificant. The late market was quiet
with prices steadier on light covering.
The closing was steady at a net gain
of 1Qf2 points.

New York, Aug. 19.-Hubbard Bros. d
Co. say of cotton to-day: Europe is now
convinced of the correctness of Mr. Nellis
estimate, and pays no attention to the
receipts or the rains i'm the Atlantic states
Their basis is belief that the increase IN
the yield in Texas will offset any decrease
in the Atlantic states or any injury which
may come from frost later in the season.
Wall street bought cotton to-day through
the same seller who sold before Mr.. Neill is
estimate was published. Their purchases
were supplied by European and local
traders who remain very bearish, con
WINGED of the correctness of their posi-
ton and sure of a further decline Re
ceipts at the interior towns are about
1900 against 5000 bales last season. Sell
dom has the trade been SO unanimously
united in pessimistic view of the mar
