New York, Aug. 7.-Prices opened

caused a good shrinkage in that month
early in the day. Reports of mag
nificent crop prospects were circulated,
and while these were believed to be
given out for a purpose, they had a
depressing effect for the moment. Trad

without special feature, There is not
enough evidence of the crop doing so

by keeping out of the market, feeling
that in any event they can secure

which they will advance the price of
manufactured goods. Liverpool sold a
fair amount of spots to-day. Reports

Hubbard Bros. q Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 7.-Our market
opened with sales of January at 9.70c
CLOSED 9.67c), and after selling at $3.50
$3.50, ruled at 1850 at 1 o'clock.
Disappointing advices from Liver
pool and almost perfect weather ad-
vices from the South were too much
for the buyers of yesterday afternoon
who began to Hquidate from the start.
Their selling carried the prices so far
below a normal parity that large
buying orders came from Liverpool,
taking many thousand bales of Sep
kember. The continent bought the
distant deliveries, as they look for a
consumption OF fully 100000 bales Of
American cotton next season. The
ariarket relaDsed into dullness
as speculation is dormant, and
week stock market attracts
more investment orders than
does cotton. The trade as a rule are
not disposed to follow the decline
with short sales. They feel It too
dangerous to anticipate a good crop
this season in view of the large hold
ings by the bull pool and the great
SCARCITY in Liverpool. In the last
few minutes a rally occurred on sharp
short covering. August was support
