New York, April 29.-Ihe Suns cotton re-
view says: "A sharp decline in LIVERPOOL
due to large sales by the bulls party there
caused decline here, but later on private adj
vices from Liverpool became more encourag-
ing, intimating that the weak long interest
there had been liquidated while the signal
service predicted colder weather and show
erS in various parts of the cotton
belt. On this news there was buying shorts
TO cause rally during which the near
months were conspicuous. Prices fell 8 to
IL points, closing steady with near months
to OFF for the day and late months to
points. Sales of 119 200 bales Liverpool de-
cltned 81 to points, April showing the most
depression, closing firm, with spot sales of
5000 bales. New Orleans declined > to g
points, but made net advance of points on
July later. Spot cotton was 1-l6c lower
here at 7Ac for middling uplands
with sales of 500 bales for export and
514 for spinning and deliveries of 400 bales.
There was decline Of l-l6G}sc at six of the
southern markets. New Orleans sold 1850
bales. The receipts at the ports were S,403
bales against COZ this day last week and
II ,932 this day last year Exports from the
ports were 1886 bales. The receipts at three
interior towns to-day were 400 bales against
SO this day last week and 654 last year. Cot
ton goods were lower
New York, April 29.--Riordan g. Co say:
The lowest prices so far of the year we're
touched to-day, August cotton having sold at
G54c. A fresh break in Liverpool and the i'm
preston generally prevalent among traders
that the injury to the young cotton by cold
has been much exaggerated emboldened the
bears at the opening to make free offerings
which few OF the bulls had the courage to &C
cept: But there was agOod deal Of covering
by shorts and after the first hour the bears
seemed to feel that che decline might
have gone little too far. A demand sprang
up under which prices .radually hardened
until almost the entire loss as compared with
yesterday 5 closings was recovered. August,
just before the close, was freely bought at
close was steady with 762c bid for August.
We regard the market, after the great and
continuous decline, as in very critical CON
dition. If all goes well with the crop it is
likely enough that we may see prices a cent
pound lower before the summer is ended. But
the crop is not all planted yet and it has
still to run the gauntlet Of all the chances of
the season. The trader who sells short at
present prices must reckon on a score of crop
accidents and hundred scares as barring the
way to any substantial profit upon his venture
Besides he cannot count upon the dullness in
trade abroad, which has SO chilled Specula-
ton OF late, lasting forever. Any revival of
activity in Manchester might lift the cotton
market with startling suddenness. On the
whole we rather favor conservative purchases
of cotton at the decline"
