New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Hutton's wire says:
while bearish sentiment is in the majority the
market recedes very slowly and RECEIVERS quickly.
Apparently there is as much short interest as
the market will stand and a spirited buying
causes more or less covering. The buying of
October around 9.15c bv Liyermores brokers was
not TO their liking and caused uneasiness.
Exporters wiInOut forward engagements
for the delivery of cotton, usual at this
season of the year, the daily receipts each
day are practically offered to the spinner. Plant
ers not selling their cotton in advance to
the usual extent, offers for forward delivery
being very light in most sections. The bear
crowd is sending out news TO Liverpool that
the shorts have settled with the bulls on August
for $4,000 bales but there is absolutely no
truth in this.''
Spot closed quiet points decline; middlng
