Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

The Liverpool market came in disap- pointing this morning. Lack of specu- lation and crop reports interpreted as being better, were given as cause for long liquidation and the prevailing bear ish feeling.
 The full early decline was not main tained, but options closed at a loss of seven points and spots five points, sales, 5000 bales. In our market thirteen to fourteen points were taken from values in first trades and this closely repre- sents the worst. a further trifling and temporary decline resulted from the exc cution of stop orders.
 There was no effort to raid the market and the existence of hot weather in Tex as, induced enough buying to cause steadiness around the low levels.
 Perhaps an eptaph would be more ap- propriate than an opinion on the market, as at present it appears in dead state, but we feel quite sure that there is plenty of life forthcoming.
 Opinions may quite surely be expected to crystalize in the near future and a price movement of importance ensue.
 In the interim values are solely de- pendent for support on crop injury re- ports as speculations are at a low ebb.

There was but 4ttle news over Sun day to change sentiment in regard to the outlook The majority of the brokers still maintain a bullish position. While it is believed there is a possibility of the failure of peace negotiations. offering a pretext for traders to attack the market causing irregularities. if is not believed that this will prove potent. Reports of recent arrivals in town of those who have made tour of the country are decided ly favorable. A prominent railroad man says the actual earnings are far larger than is supposed and reports made by the companies could easily show much greater returns than indicated.
