vogue at the moment is a poignard of

New York, June 29.-The cotton market was very quiet today and prices ruled generally steady, after a slight opening decline.

A good part of the days business consisted of switching long contracts from near to late deliveries.
 The market opened steady, at de- cline of to s points, in response to relatively easy cables and an early crop report indicating an improve ment of IF per cent in condition dur ing the past month.
 The firm opening of the stock mar ket and the more optimistic view of Mexican affairs may have accounted for light offerings and prices steadied on scattered covering. The official forecasts for generally clear weather were considered favorable and acted as check on the rally, but buying was prompted by reports that Doll weevil were becoming very numerous in many sections.
