points below yesterdays closing prices. The
of the bulls under largo port receipts, leading
| many of them to unload without much regard
| to values. the market was almost wholly in
| the hands OF room traders, who refused to look
| beyond their losses. They stared at the black
board, giving port rocsipts, which were swollen
| by the arrival of overdue cotton at New Or
leans, but quite ignored the big four interior

| 900 bales last year, a reduction of more than
| 10 per cent, and this decrease has been going
| on for some weeks. Then came the Bombay

| for the corresponding period last year, a de-
| crease Of 70 per cent. Advices were cumulative

movement of this crop is not far off. This story
has been told so often and proved untrue that
1t attracted little attention, but It will not be
