here last night from San Francisco an
nounced that the body was embalmed at

by the continued large movement IL

according to Mr.. Ellison, were only fu,VOO
bales. against a weekly consumption IN
Great Britain Of 10000 bales, II Is a
dangerous game to be waiting upon the
southern planter and merchant to be
pushing his cotton into sight daily and
weekly. which thus far has confirmed
the higher crop estimates. When we
stop 80 look at the situation, X IL an
anomalous one, because on the one hand
we have daily reliable Information from
the cotton belt that the crop Is mucn
short OF expectations OF two months
ago, but at the same time the people VINO

ing that the South Is joking or being
mislead In some way as 10 what they
have in warehouses and on plantations.
We simply rely upon our " cores
pOndence, which we know TO be OF a re-
spOnsible character, many of whom we
know personally, and many sufficiently
we'll 10 be satisfied that they are giving
MS Of their own knowledge. We believe,
without facilities for getting informa-
ton. and our intimate and general ac-
qualntance with the southern people,
that we are in a position 20 know GER
tainly as much as any people In the trade
in this or any other market, and as we
nave said several times recently. We
continue TO have faith in our cores
pondence. If the South is wrong in
their impressions, then they will be the
worse sufferers, because they show cour-
age Of their convictions by their position
on the market. Liverpool did better to-
day than expected, closing about > points
higher than Saturday. Our closing Is q
points lower than Saturday. owing to
the large port receipts Of 5000 bales,
against 5000 bales last year, and the
expectation Of a free movement at ports
for the week. The market Is still In the
hands Of the consumer or the spinner.
