NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Buoyancy was
displayed in the cotton market at the OPEN
ing this morning. First prices were 10 to
II points higher. July being the exception
showing a gain of s points, Trading was
general. Liverpool. Wall street and New
Orleans buying near months, Commission
houses operated on both sides. The selling
was led by some prominent room operators
but was scattered for the most part.
After the call the supply of the near
months increased and there was some profit
taking OH which prices fell to 10 points
before the end of the first 10 minutes. The
strength was caused by the runaway mar
ket In Liverpool and continued unfavorable
weather in the South The English market
at the time of our opening showed gains
OF 22 to 23 points against expected gains
or Sh to liz points. Private cables at
trIbuted the advance to Continental buying

American markets and continued dry
weather in the Southwest
A closing decline in Liverpool seemed il

weekend. and sentiment here became more
reaclonary toward the end of the frs
hour, The selling was doubtless encour'
aged by the western belt forecast for partly
cloudy or unsettled weather. which sug
sested that there might be some RELIEF
from recent drought and intense heat, anc
prices eased back 10 within 5 or points
OF last nights closing figures.
