The small volume 'of spot business IN
Liverpool and the weakness OF the Eng
lsh cotton market for futures, as indi
Gated by early cables, was q distinct dis.
! appointment In view of the steddiness
developed yesterday by our market which
! opened to-day at a decline OF iH3 points
| n he AtrgI :
a rally. without anything I'm particular
TO explain IL, and prices worked up 10 a
net gain Of 3G5 points on yesterdays
figures. Still later the market eased on
again, but steadied near the close. There
was an absence of support Of any kind
and most or the time the market drag
ged. This was the first day for notices
of intention TO deliver cotton on Septem-
Der contracts, and these only amounted
to 3O0 TO 5000 bales, and were easily
and promptly taken care Of. one ele-
ment OF news calculated 10 increase
caution was the yellOw-fever talk. II
! was reported that yellOw-feyer had been
discovered on the outskirts Of Galveston
Later accounts had il that New Orleans
had established a temporary quarantine
az "A result. which the small receipts AT
that point to-day would seem To bear
out. The future market closed steady
o.. AT net gain or TO points.
