been thus far, cotton will have TO de-
cline to AID before spinnes' take hold,
and that the demand will not be active
even at that figure.
TIKI New York Post, In its cotton
review, says; "Unfavorable advices
from Liverpool and Manchester, with
continued comparatively heavy port
receipts, could not fail TO depress our
market for future deliveries. Prices
dropped without interruption and
ranged at the third call, September to
January excepted, 9-l00 lower than
Yesterday. May brought 9.10c; June,
0,20c; July, 927c; August, 9.3SC Sep

TIKI following from the New York
Commercial Bulletin of the 18th de-
seribes the cotton situation in that
market: "The bureau report was
looked upon by the bulls rs in a
measure favorable to their view Of the
situation, but apparently had no effect
as an actual bid, while on the Other
side the influences continued at least
as depressing as before. Liverpoo
gave no comfort, the private advioet
by mail and wire from the Continent
| continue to indicate a general inditfer
| ence, and in many cases q refusal Il
even bid until well into spring, while
from home sources the reports aiiorC
little encouragement, There is, TO b,
sure, a great deal OF firm holding o
supplies at primary points, but tn
Southern markets are still inclined 4
an easy tone in many cases, and in
creased offerings at lower rates, in par
from new sections, are suggested. No
few Of the trade also commence I
feel some apprehension regarding tn
condition of affairs at homo cor
sumptive sections, as advices from tn
Eastward represent considerable troI
, bic already growing out Of the recer
floods, while the strike at the Amo
, keag mills, il is feared, may be onl
preliminary TO more extended an
serious labor difficulties, a coRtingenC
= that recent events in various parts
the country show 10 DO worthy
more than passing consideration"
