IIEaP-Receipts since our last issue a.
mount 10 | 800 bales, and with demand
hardly adequate 10 the supply, prices have
declined 10 $l35 for prime, 1913 for good,
and $3.50 for fair, with common or inferior
qualities as low as 1925. This decline was
anticipated, as heretofore remarked, and the
opinion is entertained by many at this time,
that the market must undergo further de-
preston in prices of fully $40 p tom
The reason given for this opinion is loun-
ded on the fact that a good stock Of bale
rope is held al New Orleans, (say $4,000 to
90, 900 coils, that our city manufacturers
are well supplied until April; and that the
demand from the Ohio, Atlantic, Lake and
Canada factories will not be expressed un.
Ill late day, Russia hemp, with duty
free, can well compete with American in
the British Provinces. Still there is likely
10 be an increased demand this season over
last. The winter just ended was unusually
severe on marine rigging, while the next
cotton crop will be greatly enlarged, (say
from three 10 four millions bales) owing TO
existing high rates of that staple leading TO
increased planting, thereby requiring q
! largely increased amount Of bailing stuff.
! Only one factory is now running in this
city. Sumo demand is heard from the East
/ but the inducements to ship are by no means
encouraging. A margin of $50 is generally
| considered requisite 10 cover the charges
and incidental expenses between this point
and the seohoard. We think it probable
that the range this season between qualities
will be greatly widened say from $40 tc
$il5, common TO prime. Receipts SO fan
are evieently OF the early rot, and in conse
quence the quality does not come TO the an
ticipations OF operators. This defect vii
wear away as larger supplies come forward
We regret 10 hear general complaint o
bad cleaning. The first lot this year came
