COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July l0-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, but at decline of 1
to % points under a renewal of general
liquidation and heavy selling for both
southern and local account, inspired by
private reports that the drought in the
southwest had been adequately broken
and by the lower Liverpool cables. Fluc-
tuations were somewhat irregular just
after the opening. and covering by recent
sellers proved sufficient to cause a rally
of J or 4 points from the early low level,
but the market was very nervous and un-
settled: there seemed to be little agrees
sive buying, and prices during the middle
OF the morning were about 10 to 20 points
under the closing figures of Saturday.
Offerings were little less urgent late
In the forenoon, and the market ruled a
little steadier. but the buying seemed to
be chiefly in the way of realizing by
shorts, and prices rallied only 4 or 5
points from the lowest. Spot houses were
buyers of old crop positions. but July and
August sold off to a net decline of 23a25
points. while the new crop ruled about s
to 10 points net lower toward midday
Spot cotton quiet middling upla nd,
