COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK, August 9.-The cotton
market showed rather an uncertain
tone during today's early trading and
business was only moderately active.
Cables were a shade better than due,
| if anything, and there were favorable
reports from the domestic goods mar
ket with indications that mills were
| increasing their running time in some
| instances. The opening was points
higher to 2 points lower and some OF
yesterdays sellers appeared to be COW
| ering. Liverpool sold here, however.
while there was scattered selling for
southern account and the market
eased off after the call under renewed
| realizing or liquidation, with Decem-
ber selling down 1885 or points net
! lower. The easier early ruling pr
sterling probably led to some selling.
but there was no change in the gen.
orally bullish average of crop advices.
