The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1882-02-16

THE receipts of cotton in this city to-day
were seventy-nine bales by rail and few
scattering by wagon. For several days
past the quotations in the HERALD have
been merely nominal, but the decline in
other localities has forced the lowering of
our hgures in tins city. It was our desire
to maintain prices here, but, like others,
we have to succumb to the inevitable, and
our reports show all that the staple will
bring on the streets.

The closing quotations at the principal
markets in this country and Europe do not
bear a favorable aspect, and the decline to-
day has not had the effect to produce even
a steady market. 1t is impossible to tell
what day may bring forth. .Notwithstand-
ing the falling off in receipts, the stock on
hand at all the. ports increased to-day over
those of yesterday, and unless the foreign
demand becomes more active, further de-
cline in prices is not at all improbable. 1t
is to be hoped the readers Of the HERALD
have profited by the advice rendered long
ago, and that they have disposed of all that
could be marketed.
L
overland movement OF cotton during the
month of January, the gross amount ac-
cording to the statistics of the Financial
Chronicle, being l0S,693 bales, or 1856
bales less than for January, 1884, and the
net amount direct to mills was only l3,76S
bales, against 5S, 1856 bales last year, de-
crease OF A, 3SS bales. This makes the net
direct shipments from September to Feb
ruary /, 337,27S bales, against 3I4,9l9 bales
for the corresponding time last year. This
includes shipments to Canada, which this
year were 1854 bales. Another omission
! has been discovered in the receipts at the
Virginia ports other than Norfolk, of about
5000 bales which has been added to the
total port receipts for the season to Febru-
airy /, making 3,74l $40 bales. These
amounts of cotton marketed, together with
stocks at interior points in excess of Sep
| TENDER /, and the southern consumption,
show the amount of this crop which had
come into sight February /, 1882, in bales,
which compares with the preceding season

the amount of cotton which had come into

The amount taken by northern spinnerS
from September to February is placed al
|, 1853 0S3 bales, which is an increase ovei
last. year of only 10, ll bales. The increase
in the southern consumption is 900 bales
making a total increase of IS, l54 bales taker
by the American mills, or nearly q pei
cent, but the weight of the bales of the cot
ton marketed is only 1888 pounds, against
, 4S7. 0S last year, which is u decrease OF g,
per cent, and indicates that spinners hav'
taken less number of pounds of cotton
: than last year.
