New York, May l6.--The Suns cotton review
says: The decline in Liverpool caused some
depression in early trading, but this was sue
ceeded by an advance, owing to another break
in the Mississippi river very heavy rains In
the southwest, rather better outlook in Wall
street and covering Of shorts. Prices rose
5U1 points, part of which was afterward lost,
closing quiet with sales of 9S 600 bales Liver
pool declined 2dl2 points, but received most
OF this on near months and TO all the loss on
next crop, which closed 1a@1 point higher
than yesterday and very steady, with spot
sales of 200 bales Manchester was de-
pressed. New Orleans declined slightly, but
later advanced 7GS points. Spot prices were
steady at 1850 for middling upland
with sales of 735 bales for export and 2l9 for
spinning Southern spot markets were gen
orally dull at old quotations. There was
decline of l 1-l6c at two of the southern mar
kets. The receipts at the ports We're 7,6S5
bales against 6,724 this day last week and 5,469
last year. The total thus far this week is
1862 against 1905 thus far last week. Elk
ports from the ports were 653 bales. The
receipts at three interior towns were 3l2 bales
against 800 this day last week and 1874 last
year"
New York, May 16-Riordan s. Co. say Of
cotton: Liverpool again opened lower to-
day, but recovered the decline and closed with
greater steadlness than 1t has shown Tor
several days. Our market opened at about
Yesterdays closing prices, August selling at
7.55c. A little later il declined to 1850, But
reports OF too much rain in many parts Of the
south and of further breaks in the Mississippi
leveeS changed the temper of the market and
spirit of buying rapidly advanced August
TO 162c. The price, however, was held
only for moment and August soon
remained dull and steady for the greater part
of the day. In the last half hour the offerings
became very free and the close was quiet,
with 1859 bid for August. The trouble with
the market now is that the short interest,
which was lately quite large, has been in a
great measure covered during the last few
days, and multitude of traders who have
already made good profits on the short side,
are now waiting for some advance to give
them an opportunity to put out fresh short
lines. Meanwhile, whenever weaker t1mld
bull wants to sell, the number of bidders is
vastly diminished by the fact that the shorts
are mostly out of the market, 1t does seem
as if nothing short of a crop disaster, which
threatens to seriously cut down the prospect
i've supply can give US material and lasting
advance"
