The opening of the cotton market was
characterized by some irregularity. Near
months declined 2 points, while distant
months We're unchanged TO points higher.
Wall-Street orders made their appearance
later. and as they were for considerable
lots. the market promptly steadied up.
and shorts undertook 10 cover with the
result of moving prices 2d4 points above
the lowest figures. The special demand
from Wall Street was soon withdrawn.
however and the market commenced 70
sag again Throughout the session the
remote deliveries maintained a firm rela-
ton to the general list on an investment
demand with sellers scarce, owing TO
contradictory statements regarding the
crop outlook. The general influences were
but little changed. being quite as friendly
as heretofore from cotton-cloth markets,
Fab River. southern spot markets, and as
to the average OF gossip respecting acre
age. There appeared 10 be any amount OF
long cotton for sale around the basis or
$50 for August contracts. Nearly all COM
mission houses here had selling orders for
realizing on long contracts. Yesterday
this class Of cotton was generally limited
at or above G35 for August The limits
to-day were I'm some cases reduced > to
points. but the market was not prepared
to absorb any particular quantity OF long
cotton. Yet there was no great pressure.
Most traders were disposed to hold on
for something more tangible than has yet
come I'm sight regarding the intentions or
planters More attention was paid 10 that
feature than to the question of receipts,
although a good many traders here eX-

siderably with better weather In the al
