tomorrow and fairly good report from
Washington there is likely to be more
selling and October will work lower. after
the price has reached 10 or 20 points we
would be inclined to buy. 1t will be diff
ficult to bring about much of a break
as long as the outlook for cotton is so
uncertain, though of course prices may
work much lower under the bright pros
poets in August, but for a while October
is not likely to go much below 794c. In
the event of a break in the morning
and a favorable washington report the
break may last through the day when
cotton should be bought on a break
Wednesday, Having taken profits on the
advance there will be inducements to
buy on 10 or 20 points break. The break
may be less than this If rains don't come
in Alabama and the weather report is
disappointing.
Reports from the south are to the eff
feet that cotton is fruiting well and look

New York. July 21.-It was a dull and
uninteresting cotton market this morn
ing. The character of the Liverpool
market was such as to encourage some
selling with the consequence of a shad-
ing off in prices. but at no time did the

change in their view should weather
conditions later on be less favorable.
