Stock and CIarke's Amendment
Check Declines.

NEW YORK, July S.-Business was
fairly active at the opening Of the cot
ton market to-day and prices were 2
points lower to 5 points higher than
asst nights close. A good undertone
prevailed in Liverpool. The market
after the call gradually worked up to 8
points from the opening quotations
New crops were in better demand than
the old options. The selling was light
and scattered.
Weather conditions continue favorable
over the entire belt. Crop advices were
practically nil
The volume of business was extreme
'y light. Sentiment is bearish. but the
ralent is afraid to sell the market with
he summer positions in the hands OF
manipulators and the decreasing local
stock is checking declines. Members at
present are more Interested in affairs
at Washington than the market.
