 days Closing.

New York, Sept 3.-The govern- ment's cotton report, published at noon, was both preceded and follow ed by sensational activity and excite ment in the local cotton market. A general covering movement developed at the opening on reports that crop prospects were deteriorating rapidly because of dry, hot weather and prices were about S2 bale above Fri days closing before the report was issued.
 The official condition of 74.8 as of August 25, proved fully as favorable as anticipated and was followed by a sudden break of about $1.50 per bale but an energetic demand was encoun- tered on this setback and within half an hour the market had recovered all but 10 or 15 points of the loss. The large trade interests credited with having been leading bears on the re- cent decline of nearly 2 1-2 cents pound were reported big buyers this morning.
