July 2.—In the cotton market further good covering by shorts offset the weakness of cables and caused the market to open steady. There was n disposition to even up for the government report due tomorrow. This Influence checked uew business, and made It difficult for the bulls to follow up their advantage. After selling down to 10.23 for Oc tober and 10.28 for December in the late forenoon, the market rallied a few points after midday. The recovery wan short lived, howeved, and under room liquidation and short selling by wire houses, prices again weakened and at l o'clock showed a net decline of 6 to 8 points. SPOT COT1 ON MARKET.

QIBERT & CLAY’S DAILY COTTON LETTER. By Private Leaned Wire. New Orleans. July 2.—The Liverpool market was excedlngly quiet, options showing on the close no change from Saturdays llnal prices. Spot cotton, however, was more In demand, sales today aggregating 8.000 bales at a de cline of 4- points. The market's under tone was fairly steady early In the day. but weakened somewhat later on'free offerings, and from the fact that the July liquidation was much less of a factor In Importing any undue strength. The near approach of the government's July report, namely, tomorrow, Is prob ably responsible for the Inactivity in the market, traders apparently being unwitting to further commit them selves, although It Is generally admit ted that very little, If any, change Is looksd for from the previous month's condition figures. However, it would not be surprising tot see an Improve' ment, as Indicated by The Tlmes-Deni' ocrat report published today. The weather In the main continues excel lent and since the breaking of the drought, moisture appears to have been very evenly distributed. The majority of complaints have been momentary, and hence easily remedied with the single exception of the scarcity of ht bor, which In reality has assumed SC' rlous proportions In several sections of the belt. New York. July 2.—The trade demand for cotton nt homo nnd abroad, and the con tinued autlafnotory development of the new crop keeps the market In “atntu quo."

After the opening trading, the market was heavy and price* showed •cessions from the ton. The tone of the market In the early part of the nrat hour was decidedly strong, but prices declined after the first fifteen min utes, then the mnrket rallied, and.

Weakness developed on the new crop options on reports of favor able weather conditions, and expecta tion that the government report, which comes out tomorrow, will show the condition fully maintained.
