MONDAY Evening, August b, 1909 }
CoTTox-Later unfavorahle adyices from Liver
pool and New York superadded to the causes
assigned in our last, which were the difficulties in
the way of negotiating foreign exchange, and the
incertade as to the future of the Austrian Italian
and Prussan war, have caused an almost total
suspension of operations to-day, while the market
throughout has been too unsettled and prices have
been toe irregular to establish reliable or even
closely approximating quotations, which will,
doubtless, be deemed sufficient reason for an
omission to publish scale of rates this evening.
The inquiry to-day has been of an unusually re-
strcted character, and at considerably lower
figures thon previous ruling rates: bnt most
factors wholly disregarded all appeals for
concessions, while few of the latter appeared to
have been willing to reduce their rates for small
and irregular lots, and for lower grade Cotton
The sales, however, amounted to only 425 bales,
divided among 4 brokers, and $50 bales were en-
tered for direct shipment on planters account
which latter we, of course, don't include in our
report Of actual sales. Buyers and sellers disagree
in their reports Of railing prices to-day, and the
movement was so insignificant that we do not care
to undertake TO adjust their differences.
