Il NEW YORK. May l5.-The cotton market
this morning opened at decline of 2d4

provement Cables were fully up to the mark
when we opened, but somehow selling orders
predominated and the trade soon at sea
as to the probabilities. Bull leaders during
the recent campaign were credited with the
intention Of inaugurating a new bull market
The movement was small enough to attract
attention. the price has been worked down
some claim too rapidly for existing condi-
tfons and the main bear points are fine crop
conditions so far and possibility of a big
movement during August. On the whole the
mark most of the day lacked much interest
excepting selling pressure of July by large
concerns early In the day. Receipts at all
ports were estimated at 1000. against 1000
last year. Rain was reported at Montgomery

Germ to farmers. Showers were predicted for
East Texas. The crop in the Mobile district
was reported doing we'll and some Georgia
accounts claimed that a decreased crop was
sure In that State this year because of in
sufficient rain. On the whole good crop ac-
count continues to come in and the poor re-
ports are few and far between, although there
