MEssRs. GADDUM, BY-HELL & Co.'S
circular of recent date had the follow
ing regarding the East India crop:
"Phe advices from the home markets
have not been encouraging this week,
and here the market has been dali in
the extreme. I.arge quantities OF
cotton arrive daily, and stocks are
-accumulating rapidly, but buyers
show hardly any inclination TO op
crate, and although prices of most
descriptions of cotton have gradually
receded nearly I'd per pound during
the week, the transactions reported
are few in number, and reach only a
comparatively small total. Receipts
in the Oomra and Bengal districts
show but little increase on last weeks
figures, the recent heavy fall in prices,
combined with certain local influ-
ences. having induced the up-country
holders to keep back aportion Of
their cotton. IN the Dhollera dis
tricts picking is going on slowly, and
receipts are not expected to be on a
large scale until about the middle of
March. Picking is becoming more
general in the Broach districts, and
receipts are expected to begin in few
days. A large and good quality
Broaeh crop is now almost assured.
From the Dharwar, Compta, Time
veliy and other cotton-growlng dis
tricfs. our .reports are uniformly favor
able, indicating large and good crops
this season"
