d. w. Hunter & Co. say of today's cotton
market: Liverpool at p. IN. was one-half
point lower, dun and inactive. and closed
quiet and steady at Yesterdays prices. There
was moderate demand for spots at I'm
changed prices, with sales OF 5000 bales. our
markets opened to points lower on the
near months and further declined point
and advanced points, with the close steady,
with an upward tendency. 1t seems that there
Is strong combination working to support
prices at present level and possibly to manip-
ulate small advance, but with conditions as
favorable as they now are no material nor
permanent Improvement in prices Is expected
ana any little spurts will bring out plenty
or cotton. The bears are doing more.talking
than selling just now and they say that they
expect unless some damage occurs to the
growing crop that every month In New Or
leans will easily sell at AZ conts. They do
not seem, though, very eager just at the mo-
ment TO sell the market for this nice profit
il Is safe TO say that period of more active
fluctuations Is near at hand and indications
are that tho bears will have the advantage in
tho opening waltz.

Office OF The Post,

HoustoH iuesuHy, June 20
Yesterday sales Of futures in New orleans
and New York combined were 34,700: today
thoy aggregated 35,100. This shows the alb
sence OF speculation.
The bears are anxious to inaugurate an ag
gresslve campaign, basing their argument on
the magnificent crop outlook. They promise
to make history by putting prices down below
cents. but whether they can do so or not re-
mains to be seen. The crop Is by no means
made and July and August might turn out
disastrously and cause u reversal OF senti-
mcnt.
Liverpool futures opened l-6id off, but raj
lied and closed unchanged. New Orleans was
unchanged to up and New York closed
lower to point higher.
There was no change In any Of the spot
markets, but prices were steader.
