| The sums cotton review says: "The bears
| took turn at the wheel, and they steered the
| ship of speculation down stream. Futures
| dropped SOLO points on moderate speculation.
| The facts which initiated against the interests
| of the bulls were the decline in Ijverpool a
| great disappointment; large receipts at the
ports and neavy arrivals at Bombay, not TO
| mention the smsllness Of the demand for spot
| cotton from American spinnerB, whose goods
| are selling rather slowly. The general expecta-
| ton Of the crop-very largely in excess Of any
| ever before raised-also naturally exerts de-
4
| the south today was generally fair though
| there was SOME rain in the Carolinas and
| Georgia, and light rains we're predicted in vari-
GUS parts OF the cotton belt IL is of interest to
observe that though Liverpool was lower, there
| was good demand for spot cotton sal there
| reaching - 600 bales. Then again Manchester
was firm, and it is stated that there ia better
| trade there IL is further maintained that tn
| backwardness of the planting season in this
| country is a factor in the situation worthy of
consideration, also the efforts of the farmers
oil io IN p !,
| acreage of cotton reduced and that of corn in
| creased, as q much more remunerative crop.
| And yet whenever anything is said that eau be
| said in favor of cotton, it is met by the oft-re
| peated comment of the bears: No use; too
many bales Spot cotton was quiet and un-
| changed. "
