The PosFs cotton report says: "Receipts at
our southern ports to-day are 26S bales,
against 33l bales last week. At all the ports
they may be estimated at 600 bales, against
5,2iO in 1888 and 1864 IN 1882. We believe it
may be safely asserted that such a falling off
so early IN the season is without precedent.
As natural consequence, there is a scarcity
OF outside orders. Future deliveries up to the
third call were quiet, and business was almost
restricted TO operations with a view of
curing small prOntS, thus June, July and Au-
gust were run down 4 lO06D5- lO0c, then raised
