ohtufudy may 70, 1904 J
Our general market has been quiet throughout the last
week and business more limited than reported In our
last review Uufavorabe European advces in addition
TO scarcity OF shipping and consequent high rates of
freight have been the main Of the unusual dull.
The weather has been warm and generally fair with
come slight showers of rain.
C0TT0N-At the close Of our last weekly review we
left the Cotton market unsettled and factors were COM
PEELED to submit to decline of about Nc induce
ment to buyers to proceed in their operations The
decline principally in the medium and Qualities
During the frat four days of the week however only
220OO bales were sold notwithstanding the reduction in
rates we have noticed The which we mentioned
at the head of article had their effect in bringing
about this result On Thursday morning the addit;onaS
unfavorable accounts by the Atlantic published and
the market was rendered heavy the sales summing
up however, $500 bales, at reduction in most cases.
OF No. Yesterday the inquiry general. and
$500 bales found buyers making entire business of the
week $1,000 bales the bulk Of which English account
ffices closed WIN more nrmness operators expecting
more favorable accounts by the next Liverpool steamer
now about due at New York.
