NEW YORK COTTON STEADY.
A Fear of Strong English Cables Fright
ened the Bears

New York. May l4.-The cotton market
opened 6rm with prices 4 to I points high.
er in response to better cables than ex-
pected from Liverpool, and on light re.
celptS at the ports and interior towns. But
soon after the call the commission elemc Mt
pecame heavy sellers Of the SUNNI
months, which bears took as cue for fresh
pounding. Prices lost all the early ad.
vance within the next few minutes. and
before II o'clock had dropped to SOS for
august and to S.S5 for July. At these hg-
ures prominent Wall street operators, be-
heavy buyers Of July and August. Prices
responded Sluggshly at 6rst. but by mid
day the whole market displayed tolerably
steady front, with small shorts III at cas-.
Fort receipts proved to be little more than
half those for the same day last year; In
terror town stocks lost quite heavily: the
in sight for the week promised to be
N.0OO to 5000 bales. as compared with
$1,000 bales last year. while the southern
spot market held stubbornly steady. The
weather and crop reports were nearly per
feet hut had been more or less discounted.
The English market rallied from the bottom
just before the close and the New Orleans
market expressed desire TO work upward
on the least Incentive In the afternoon
the shorts endcayored to wriggle OUT OF
their unpleasant position, while the Wall
street contingent persistently bought July
aud August Prices worked steadily up
ward having quite sharp rise in the last
tcn minutes, The close was very steady,
with prices net to 90 points higher. the
chief advance being in the near months.
