After the call the list displayed further steadiness on n little covering. Most of this was by foam traders, who, while seeing no reason to change their bearish views, were disposed to reduce their lines In view of the coining holidays. The cotton market was quiet nt the open ing this morning, and about lu Hue with the Liverpool market. During the morning hours the treud was toward a lower level, though the early fluctuations covered a, narrow range, the market being dull. After mlddny commission houses and shorts were moderate buyers, and with of ferings light, au advance occurred.

WARE aTeLAND’8 DAILY COTTON LETTER New Orleans, Aug. 30.-Today’a cotton market was a good (leal of a holiday nffalr. At timet It showed steadiness In rather ft marked degree, put this was entirely dne to covering by shorts, who were not desirous of carrying their commitments over the three holidays which follow the, closing of the market tomorrow. Bulls were not st all aggressive except for a short time soon af ter the opening, when they made a per fectly open attempt to run In shorts. The Rise of the short Interest In the market, however, did not admit of extensive manip ulation. and the buying wna soon over. Liverpool was good enough for some time Previous to the opening of the local market, but fell off Just liefore the opening here, which canted Initial prices to snow a slight loss from the level of yesterday’s closing. The weather map was all that could Ik* de sired and the telegrams from eouutry were less pessimistic than they hare been.
