NEW YoRK COTTON

New York. Aug 2i.--The cotton market vas little more active than yesterday but fluctuated in narrow range.
 The market opened steady at decline of ntes. active months sold s94 points net lower under scattered offerings inspired bf indifferent cables and reports of ifliprov- ed weather in the Southwest, owing to low CT temperatures and scattering showers.
 There. seemed to be good buying at the decline, the market meeting support from some of the large spot and from brokers connected with the interests who we're lead ing sellers on the recent break. This check. ed the decline and during the middle of the day prices fifmed up to net advance of about sQs points on covering by early sellers who were disappointed that rains in Texas had not brought out more long character of the early buying and reports of improved trade conditions abroad Later fluctuations were irregular with the market reacting slightly from the best but showing a generally steady tone and closing within or points Of the best.
 Opinions regarding the effect of rains iu Texas were conflicting and the days crop news on the whole, seemed to cause nc modification of views concerning the prob. able crop Builish traders were inclined to make point of improved trade conditions as expectations of very large requirements next season. but uncertainty regarding the effect of free new crop movement is eyi- dehtly factor in restricting general trade.
 Receipts at the ports today 7,0gi bales. against 3, 500 last week and Ifee3 last yeak For the week 26,o00 bales. against l4,3s7, last week and 7l,4ss last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans 1,333 bales against 4S7 last year and at Houston 2.sss bales.
