COTTON.
New York. July 1S.-For time this
morning the cotton market acteda if it
was about to do Il little better. The
opening call developed Il very steady
feeling, with prices unchanged to , points
higher. The immediate cause of the inn
provement was the stability shown by the
English market as compared with what
had been expected. At the same time
crop news was not of an meyenly favor
able quality. although generally still very
good. The local bull contingent tried to
help the budding Improvement. but it
bears who took advantage of the fact
that outside orders failed to come in, and
they sold the little that was necessary to
turn the market back to last night =
figure and dullness. For the rest of the
day the market worked within very mar
row changes and ruled feartureless I'M
til near the. close, when a squirt of cover
ing carried prices rapidly upward with
the market finally steady at a net gain of
3 to 4 points. There was plenty of crop
news in circulation: but nothing that was
really new, and hesitation was as mark
ed OH the part of the bull contingent as
it was ON the part of the more bearish-
ly inclined. Commission houses had
practically no orders from the country
