AUGUST RECEIVERS
ON COTTON MARKET
But Heavy Buying Absorbs Most
of Early and Prices
Fall.

NEW YORK, July 19.--While a
good deal of long cotton came on the
market at the opening there was some
notable buying. This demand abb
sorbed so much of the early offerings
that prices failed to respond fully to
weak cables and on first sales were
only s to IA points lower followed by
sharp rallies.
August led the recovery.
