COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, July 7.-COTTON-Th
market for cotton futures opened steady
in tone, though to Il points lower later
under brisk general selling, in which
New Orleans interests took the lead.
Bearish turn of prejudice followed weak
ness in the English market, together with
a most reassuring weekly review of the
crop and weather situation South, an eX-
cement bearish bulletin from the Govern
ment and encouraging crop dispatches
from several sections of Texas. Lquida-
ton set in after the opening call, and
carried prices still lower. Short selling.
on q moderate scale was done by the
courageous bears, but. a rule, new
business of any description was not at
tempted on a large scale. The critical
conditions in China served to intensity
the weaker ruling. OF the market.
