The New York Commercial Aduer-
tiser says that, as the process of moving the
cotton crop progresses, all indications 60 to
show that our estimate of supply of not
less than two million five hundred thousand
bales will be realized. These probabilities
must soon exercise an influence upon the
cotton market and the current high prices
of domestic cotton fabrics. Their bearing

gregate value of the exports about the same
IS would be realized upon more limited
shipment al, higher prices. -
