says: Cotton is disappointing. Liverpool
adylees, generally favorable weather re
ports bearlSh statistical position. dizziness OF
trade and local and southern selling caused a
decline. Europe sold to a small extent. Warm
er weather at the south was predicted
News in regard to the great rivers was on the

New York. May 24-Riordan & Co. say of
COTTON; The reopening of Liverpool to-day
! failed to bring any encouragement to the
bulls, and as the morning advanced the cables
grew worse, August opening at T49c, decline
OF points, and sold as low as 742c. During
the afternoon hours the market remained al
most stationary with 7.43c bid for August, at
which price it closed and the tone was quiet
and steady. There Still seems to be no rea
son to expect any considerable advance, cX-
cept. perhaps the undoubted magnitude OF the
short interest Although we believe that
sooner or later we are likely
to see lower prices as we
are now inclined to advise those of our
friends, who are short of cotton, to take their
profits. we think it more probable that the
market will tiuctuate moderately for the next
| few weeks than that there will be any pro
! nOunced movement in either direction and
those who cover short sales on declines are
! likely to get an opportunity to sell at better
/ figure"
