- what would be done to-day were correct
1--WE predicted lower prices. which were
realized having declined here points on
summer and 5 points on new crop positions.
Liverpool lost ! to 2-64 points, closing dull
but steady, and the cable says that they are
en- the eye OF 4 serious decline. There are
other kilograms TO the same effect. Holders
of long cotton are evidently becoming tired
Of waiting for on improvement, which can
hardly be realized nile the weight of spots
not only continues but increases. Interior
receipts this week are 27,0OO, against $500
last year, and even larger than last week,
while the stocks are 272 600, against 10000
last year.
Port receipts are 50. 900 against 81 coo last
year ana stocks US9,OO0 against $4,000 last
year There really seems to be no end to
the supply, and the reports are 10 the effect
that the country stocks are still largely in
excess Of those OF last year. The port and
interior movements for the next four

10 be, and We think, viii be lower to-Inor-
row. The excess in this week over the
same week last year, reported by our eX-
changes this afternoon. IS 80 900 bales, aaa.
the total crop in SIGHT is ZSoy,O 900
Free on board-No market. Some offer
