NEW YORK, August 21.--lt IS usual on Monday mornings at this time of the year to expect considerable hedge selling after
 the cotton has been bought in the in terior towns on Saturday. However, this amount of it and it was practically fin ished five minutes after the market opened and was well absorbed rather than any pressure the market seemed to have fresh buying orders and at once time there were 10000 bales bought by one broker. We cannot lose sight of the fact that it is hardly possible to make crop this year sufficient for the worlds con
 sumption and for this reason we believe
 the shortness of the crop will prevent the the market The demand for goods is
 being felt as witnessed by the fresh buy ing which came our market today. Futures in Liverpool are due tomorrow: {:
