COTTON FUTURES. Tho Clone Steady. With Anßnat fl Up and Other* S®lo Off. New York. Aug. 22.—The early cotton market was a comparatively narrow one with the volume of speculation small. Trading was quite local. At the opening the general feeling was barely steady, with prices 5 points to 2 points lower. The market developed a nervous feeling, which continued throughout the session. Early cables were unsatisfactory, and for a time, right after the opening, the feel ing was toward higher prices on cover ing by some of the smaller shorts, who were easily frightened owing to the con flicting character of crop news from pri vate sources, and rather a better run of later cables. It became apparent, how ever, that outside orders were not at tracted by the more bullish overtures, and also that the larger shorts were not covering. This brought on anew selling movement, and the market again weak* ti ed #nd showed a nervous feeling To ward the close the market weakened bad ly under heavy liquidation and bear ham mering, based on reports of heavy rains In the Mississippi valley region, and rap idly falling temperature In the Atlantic states. The market closed steady, 5 points higher on August, but 8 to 10 points lower on other month*. FLUCTUATIONS IN FUTURES.

New Y'ork, Aug. 22—Hubbard Bros. & Cos., say: Liverpool again disappointed the trade by failing to advance in answer to our strength of yesterday. Our mar ket remains a small one, with the local trade bullish on the absence of rain worthy of mention in the South. Scat tered showers are reported in North Caro lina and on the coast of Georgia, and South Carolina, with a low barometer predicted about central Hatteras. Rains are predicted only for the coast, strangely the commission houses identified with the Atlantic states, have been the largest sell ers to-day. Private advices received about noon, report raining at Selma, Dem opolie and Birmingham. Ala., also Merid ian. Miss. The crop needs a good general rain over the entire country, except Texas. Showers were reported from Ala bama and the Memphis district during the afternoon, causing liquidation towards the close. New York. Aug. 22 —Murphy & Cos. say: Cotton in Liverpool advanced J-32d on spots, sales 4,000 bales. Futures closed at an advance of 2-64d on near and l-t>4d up to unchanged on lare positions. This mar ket rule.i nervous and erratic considering the small volume of out-of-town trading, the busine-s being mostly confined to New Orleans and Peal profess onals. Some rainfall leported in G orgia and the Carolinaß, but not general enough to attract attention on lesser complaints of damage by drought and daily deteriora tion of conditions over the Atlantic states, and the Memphis district. The short interest b ing large and nervous will hold the market on any decline. DRY GOODS. New York, Aug. 22.—There has been no better demand than before for brown sheetings end drills on home account and export business is still light. Prices irreg ular. Bleached muslins steady but busi ness limited. Wide sheetings slow and unchanged. Cotton flannels and blankets inactive. More doing in prints at pre vious prices. Ginghams quiet but steady.

At the open ing call sales of 586 casks were reported at 37 cents, and at the closing call fur ther sales of 170 casks at 36Vfc cents. The declining tendency seems to have been pretty well established, and as a conse quence the trade are prepared for any thing that comes. The day’s receipts were 1,458, and the exports none.

New Y'ork, Aug. 22.—The level of prices was not materially changed as a result of to-day's trading in stocks. In fact, the fluctuations in the most prominent rail roads did not exceed 2% per cent., and in only u few specialties was the range a point. Conditions underlying the general situation are the main topic of discus sion in the street, and it apparently re quires unusual developments to extricate the market from the rut into which it has fallen. With operations pretty generally limit ed to the trading element who close their contracts from day to day, not much im portance can be attached to current mar l ket movements. Some effort was made at the opening to continue yesterday's late reaction, but supporting orders ap peared in Brooklyn Transit and Peoples Gas which strengthened the entire list. Consolidated Gas was in demand and rose almost 2 points on buying inspired by its early restoration to an 8 per cent, annual dividend basis. A subsequent attack was made on Peoples Gas, the price going down 1% and remaining under last night until the final dealings. No definite news has developed to uccount for the recent pronounced pressure against this stock. Statements that no agreement was reached in the conference between the various steel companies and labor organ izations was without any effect on the steel properties which are largely neglec ted. Business was at a standstill during the greater part of the afternoon, but to ward the close there was a slight spurt and prices rose to the best figures of the day on covering of shorts. Conspicuous strength was displayed by St. Louis Southwestern preferred and Northwest, which advanced a point, the latter ignor ing a falling off in its gross earnings for July of $110,711. General Electric declined 2 points on sales influenced by the lack of corroboration of recent favorable rumors. Canadian Pacific yielded a point on ap prehension of labor difficulties and West ern Union almost as much on unusually heavy transactions. London traded on both sides of the account, but the aggre gate of transactions was small. The sub treasury statement shows that the loss to the banks at the close of business yester day was almost $5,000,000. The bond market was irregular to-day on moderate dealings. Total sales par value $733,000. U. S. refunding 2s when Issued advanced % in the bid price. The total sales of stocks to-day were 83,800 shares, including Southern Pacific, 9,700; Brooklyn. 7,150; Peoples Gas, 12,800; Sugar, 3,335. New York Stock List.
