CargiM & Richardson say OF cotton:
The Liverpool cotton market could hard
ly be called a good one this morning, prices
there closing about h6id lower than yes
terday. with sales on the spot 1000. Their
easiness had no apparent effect upon New
York. however. ais after rather tame
opening prices quickly advanced under
good buying by locals and outsiders, with
Liverpool straddlers also buying to cover
sales made at home. The selling came
from miscellaneous longs, who were talk
ing profits over Sunday, and from New
Orleans. Continental Europe was reported
rs selling moderately. Port receipts were
extremely light, and estimates for toinor-
row quite moderate. The trade is indulge
ing In great deal OF bull talk; light re-
ce.p;s due 10 had weather. reduced estl-
mates for the total crop, and buying by
