New York, Aug. 12.-To-days cotton mar
ket, after opening steady at unchanged
prices to a decline of points, broke sharp
ly and ruled generally unsettled. At the
weakest interval the decline was to 8
points. All classes of traders sold, but re-
neWed selling for short account was the
feature under generally propitious crop ad-
vices and disappointment with Liverpools
support. In the afternoon, the market
ruled quite active, rallying slightly on COW
ering by less confident shorts. The close
was quiet and steady at net decline of 90
Z points.

say of cotton: Continued selling by the
late bun leaders has been the main factor
in bringing about the decline to-day. Ca
bles from Liverpool report good business
doing with the prospect of its continuing
Liverpool operators are very bearish look
ing for large crop and lower prices. The
weather in the cotton belt seems to have
cleared up West of the Mississippi, but
rainy over Alabama and the Atlantic.
Complaint of too much rain and a badly
fruited plant are received, but without eff
feet, as they are not accompanied by buy
ing orders. Receipts at the interior towns,
for the week are light and promise to be
for some time to come. The feeling here
continues very bearish, everybody looking
for a large crop and lower prices. October
