New York Cotton.

New York, July 31.-Thcrc was re- newed covering at the opening of the cotton market today with first prices 12 to 15 points higher. Complaints of dry hot weather in the southwest seemed to increase the disposition to even up short commitments in advance of the governments crop report to- morrow, and there may also have been buying on private report making the condition 73.3, compared with 71.7 last month. This showed less improve ment than suggested by some of the earlier reports. There was more or less discussion of peace prospects around the ring, but it was considered doubtful that it played much part on the advance, which carried October to 2417c and January to 23.86c, or 15 to IS points net higher shortly after the call.
 After selling up to 24.32c for Octo- Der and 24OOc for January or 27 to 33 points net higher, the demand from shorts became less active and the market turned easier under realizing ary to 23.S2c toward midday, Or about IS to 20 points from the best. A New Orleans authority placed the condition of the crop at 73.3 or about 3 per cent better than the government roprt of last month'
 The market steadied up again dur ing the middle of the afternoon on a favorable view of the European news with October ruling around 24.24c and January 23.90c, or 19 to Z5 points net higher.
