New York, Aug. 2-Liquidation in cot

to-day. The combination of bearish in

ers had the courage to make ventures
on the long side of the account. Some

from the shorts who preferred to secure

semi-annual dividends of 2 per cent. each
was quite unexpected, as only had been
definitely promised. There was a slight
furry and some feverishness in the shares
as a result But a downward course en-
sued on offerings of some heavy blocks
which looked like realizing. This carried
the stock TO 749s. which was the low price
of the day. Apparently the realizing be-
came lighter below Is and the room shorts
covered, causing a slight rally.
The friends of Union Pacific then at
tempted to make use of the discrepancy
in the prices of that stock and Baltimore
and Ohio both paying per cent dividends,
and by few large individual transactions
gave Union Pacific a place in the active
list But this movement quickly subsid-
ed. There was some strength in Sugar and
in Brooklyn Transit, the first being affect
ed by denials that the trade war had been
resumed and the second by inspired as
surances that the annual report would
show larger earnings than have been hop
ed for. Continental Tobacco preferred
was reided down 49s. The general under
tone of the market was firm with some
yielding in the latter part of the day.
The feature of the day was a slightly
easier tone for time money. The sub
treasury's debit balance at the clearing
house ran up TO S23O9,042 to-day and the
banks will probably gain over 5000, 900 Cor
the week on sub-treasury operations. In
spite of the maintenance of the Bank of
England's rate of discount of last weeks
rate and the easier tone of money here,
sterling exchange was firm. The Eng
lish banks exhibits makes clear its control
of the open money market, in which dis
count rates advanced an additional frac-
ton above the bank rate to-day. The
bank further reduced it's price for gold

Business of the Day Concentrated in
Four stocks.

New York Aug. 2.-The small amount
of business done on the Stock Exchange
to-day was almost wholly concentrated in
four stocks In none of the four did the
net change exceed ssc.

extreme range OF over points, but 1t
closed with a net loss of y. The open

Naval stores factors do not view the
outlook for the maintenance of present
prices for spirits turpentine as entirely
favorable and unless there are restricted
receipts, it is possible the price may
yield further. The gloomy side to the
outlook is due to the fact that the re-
July were 10 per cent. above what they
were for any previous July, being above
what was expected by many of the trade.
Until it was seen how the receipts would
foot up, buyers were inclined to the usual
belief that there would be considerable
falling off in August, which would have
the effect of stiffening prices. AS it is,
however, the trade IS suHerlng just now
from a lack of demand caused by hesita-
ton on the part of buyers, who believe
that the liberal receipts for July may con-
tinue into August in which event they
will be better able to get in the market
on their own terms. With buyers, there
fore, it is case of waiting pending de-
velopments, during which accumula tons
are piling up in those factors hands who
are not making deliveries.

COTTON.

The cotton market closed quiet and un-
changed with continued dullness, so far
as trading in actual cotton is concerned.
1t does not seem that there is to be any
revival in business until after the open
ing of the new season. Consumers do not
care to lay in any more supplies than they
are obliged to have pending the opening
of the new season, and the chances of get
ting in the market then on a better basis
by reason of the large offerings many
think. will be thrown upon the market.
The days receipts were 1,025, and the ex-
ports 456 coastwise. The receipts SO far
this season have been 1,O61,511, against
1882, 7S9 last year
The following were the official spot quo
tations at the close of the market at
the Cotton Exchange to-day:
