With the exception of the strength shown It the old crop positions in Liverpool this ■rnlug the cotton markets were feature* 1ms, uuless extreme dullness can be called a feature. P present and past news cuts no figure is shaping the course of prices, the on* tire trade npporeutly expecting and look ing to the future for the cue to cuter the ■irk«‘t for profits on cither side of the icoouut that will bo worth the while. Bullish peck-end figure* are expected. This Is a-'known fact, but Is Ignored on tccouut of the close proximity of the Btw crop, consequently It Is without effect. Trade conditions an? good, which Is nlso • known fact, but spinners believe there to ret enough cotton to come Into sight to tide them over until new cotton makes Its sppeflrnuce, consequently spinners show so uneasiness. ^ Thp advice of people “who ought „ Ibos" to hold cotton for higher prices, led predicting that Improvement was not Mir possible, but highly probable, was nod adrIre had not the holders put too um h confidence In the-price predicted. A great ninny well-to-do farmers not only held un to the cottou they had, but bought more; ami ns they thought they had a sure thing entered the-speculative market and loaded up with paper cottou.

New York, June 22.—Today'* early mar ket was distinctly more steady than ye* terday'a, without there being any partlcu lnr Innovations In the outside news. A somewhat calmer feeling prevailed over the slgnlflcnneo of the week’s development* in the steel trade, nnd the opinion was In clined to regard them more lightly than was the ease yesterday. Nothing happened lu such routine matters na foreign exchange or monoy to affect operations in securities one way or tho other. The London market, reflecting the -l|mmpi»«>inttnnt lu our deal ings of yesterday, sent 111 lower prlfi»s for the American list. But the transaction* of tho morning, which again were on a highly speculative origin, were guided chiefly by tho contrary views existing over the tech nical position. Tho idea that yesterdny’a demonstration against prices was the work of a bear party very largely led a certain section of the professional trader* to buy “for a turn" on the long side. For tho •amt reason thero was considerable cover ing of profits from stocks sold short 'opper and Bmeltera nnd Rending made notable progress. There was Itttlo change at the end of tho morning. The market was subject to pressure of l>eaiish opinion from leading bouses who were sellers of Steel common and many other Issues at the opening, and all through the first hour room traders and a number I f outside operators were fairly large soil rs. and prices In the early trading sus tained moderate declines. Importance was attached to the continued supply of Copper, apparently from Inside sources, that carried the price of that stock down from 10114 to 10104.
