By Private Leased Wire. New York, Aug. 31.—The local cot ton market opened steadier than ex pected in view of weak cables. A de nial of the Galveston News' estimate may have exerted some effect on prices abroad. Compared with last season the re ceipts of cotton In Atlanta show quite a falling off, the result entirely of the decrease In the yield in the territory from which supplies the local market with the fleecy, the price paid being on a parity with other Interior markets. For the season of 1905-'06, ended to day, the local receipts foot 165,239, against 216,229 last year, a decrease of 40,990. Shipments, 164,297, against 215,229 last year. Stock on hand August 31, 1906, 362, against 1,063 last year. The market for futures was uninter esting today, and was of a holiday character. The Liverpool market open ed lower than due, but New York did not fully respond to the decline. Trade during the morning was dull, with price changes small. The market was flooded with condi tion reports, all of which showed de terioration. They were without fa vorable Influence, however, being off set by cautiousness on the holiday be ginning after the close today and con tinuing through till Tuesday tpornlng.
