LIVERPOOL CAME BULLlSH

New York. July 1.-THE cotton market
opened barely steady 1 to points high
er on near months and-2 to points lower
on far months. The initial advance was
in response to buIlish Liverpool cables,
but the late months were adversely infiu-
enced by report by more or less general
rain in the belt since the closing here of
last Thursday. The private crop reports
averaged up bearishly and the weather
forecast indicated thunder showers where
needed in some portions of the belt Liv-
erpool was quick to respond to weakness
here and sold off 8 to S1h points from the
top in sympathy. while European inter-
ests sold moderate amounts of cotton held
in New York. The South. too, sold cotton
in the local. ring. Conservative traders
were inclined to quietly close up stray
Cling accounts pending receipts of to-
morrows government review for the week
of climatic conditions In the belt. The
market sold further off after the opening
August to 1897 from SAT. the latter being
the initial sale. There was little change
in prices thereafter. The market closed
dull with prices net to points lower
Total sales were estimated at $4,000 bales
Port receipts were exceptionally light
while there was come increase in the ex-
port movement.
