Cotton opened in Liverpool one to two point lower and there was very little action all day. In New York 1t opened one point up but weaken soon after the opening. It looks like a lower market.

 Grains opened steaey but little doing. Traders are evidently waiting for the government report, which no doubt will be bearish.

By H. & B. Beer.
 The market continues to maintain a steady undertone despite the very large movement to the ports. 163.692 bales dur ing the past week, against 5l,243 last year, the weeks insight amounting to 226,0O0 compared with ll4.000 one year ago, the thirty interior town only suffering a loss of3343 bales against decrease last year of 1S.S63 when shipments from the thirty counted towns amounted to only s2 5S5 against 123. 4s6 this year The move ment thus far this month Is 3lSl95; last year. 176'000.
 By the end of next week there will probably be more cotton marketed than last years 477.00O for the whole month. The idea prevails, however. that spin ners will take care of all that Is mar keted, even If 12.0O0.0O0 bales be the size of the commercial crop.

Half Of the season has been spent. however. and there Is no telling when the war will be over, and in the meantime the ccnsumptjye basis is only running on 10,- 5O0,0O0 when compared with one year ago. while the commercial crop Is running on basis of 11.029000. with the proba- bility of it expanding at so rapid rate as to attain Q basis of 11s500 900 by the end of the month. which will probably

Notwithstanding the distinct pause in the spot demand from English spinners, the Liverpool market today was steady with quotations a little better than due. At the close options had lost 3 points and spot cotton on sales of 5000 bales declined 2 points.
 Our market approached stagnation from standpoint of the amount of trad ing Unfavorable weather combined with a small amount of buying by recent sell CTS caused steadiness Weekend statis- tics were quite as bearish as expected, the movement being about double last years. and reports from various points indicate exceptionally large business In fertilizers As opposed to these conditions, spot in- qulry Is good. those having short com mitments desire to complete engagements and factors offerings appear made quate.
