COTTON FuTuRES.

New York, June 6.--The movement of
cotton prices to-day was frequent and vio-
lent, with both sides receiving setbacks
The bear faction had the advantage on
the opening, inasmuch as English cable
news was very unsatisfactory and the
weather news more encouraging. and they
succeeded in forcing prices off Q to Z
points. On this break August touched
1850, with scarcely any effort made by
the holders to arrest the turn. The for
eign contingent and the speculative public
sold on the slump with on unusual degree
of confidence. But toward midday feel
ing of distrust invaded the bear camp and
prices were soon reacting rapidly on pur-
chases from all sides. Early In the af-
ternoon' the up-turn became sensational in
its rapidity, with July easily the leader
Shorts Were temporarily panic-stricken by
a jump of Is points in July in New Or
leans. which private advices declared had
resulted from a wild scramble of shorts
to cover on bad reports from the central
belt In the local markets July advanced
to S.45c before a breathing spell was taken.
Later in the day the market was nervous,
with trading spasmodically active. Sem
timent was very much mixed, and both
longs and shorts endeavored to reduce
commitments. particularly as opinions
concerning the probable acreage estimate
of the Chronicle tomorrow differed in the
extreme. Europe was heavy buyer on
the afternoon rise, and considerable cotton
was also purchased for Southern account
The close was quiet and steady at net
