UV.i '"-' The market opened easy at a decline of 7 a points and during- the early ses slon. sold 14 points net lower on the ac tlva months wider besc pressure, ISeuth ern selling and Uquldatlon waa promot- - wr TT"B6br ca6Tei and private reports that the easier English market waa due to Arm offers from the South, showers In 1 Texas and expectations of an increasing new crop movement. At the decline to -27 for October, the bulls came to the support Of prices and during the middle session the market rallied within 8 or 4 points of last night's flruUa. This waa followed by a second decline under renewed bear pressure and liquida tion encouraged by the crop report of a local authority Indicating a yield of 14. 000.000 bale or over and In the after noon sold off to 9.3. The clone was well up from the lowest, however, on re newed covering and there was nothing In the day's trading to indicate any aban donment by the bull clique of Its position. Receipts at the ports to-day 11,746 bales, against S.6o3 last week and 1.1:1) last year. For the wefk 44.000 against 54.037 last week, and l.?78 last year. To-days re ceipts at New Orleans ffi bales, against M last year, and at Houston 6.089 bales, gainst 2,047 last year. STOCK MARKET. New York. Auk. 18,-In ita essentials to - day the stock market was largely a repe tition of yesterday's. Prices moved with the same uncertainty, ttie buying and selling representing for the most part the operations of the professional element. Trading during the early session was in ..lm. ,..,. r. r , I Il.'UI'I .ill. H 1 V but later became listless and devoid of Significance, j An unofficial cotton report published j during the day Used the average copdi- ! ttons as 83.7 against 86 a montii Hgo and I 7!i I last year. This estimate, bawed on 1 an acreage of 2:;.KXi,Xi0 acres forecasts a yield of 14.Cl0.0uo bales. In J he final ' hour, to-day shorts were hastily driven to cover by a sharp upward move in South ern Pacific and I'nion Pacillo together with advices from the West of farther Crop Improvement. The tenor of these re-! ports was that the Houthwest has great ly benefited by last week's rains and that returns are likely to exceed the most anguine expectations. T Sliding dlinin lghed somewhat before the cloe. but ma teria) gains were registered by a number f issues Money continues to pile up here, some of the leading financial Institutions re porting a heavy inflow from tlie Western and Southern States.
