sympathy with the weakness in Wall
street, reports Of industrial troubles in va
rious parts Of the country. The dizziness OF
tees on Wednesday, bear" hammering
and renewed and extensive long liquidation
caused further break in prices to-day, and
the last prices were about the lowest OF the
day. there was considerable covering Of
shorts on the drop, but this did not act as
very noticeable check to the decline"
New York, April % -Riordan Co. say Of
cotton to day: The market was heavy
throughout the day. May opened at 7.3lc,
selling down to 724c, and August which
opened at I.4Sc, going to 7.43c. There seemed
TO be little buying, except to cover shorts, and
the close was easy at the lowest prices. I he
problem Of the hour is how much of long
interest in May remains to be liquidaled on
Wednesday next. Many expect an improve
ment after that day; but the general
stand heavy deliveries on May con
tracts, and that if such should be rendered,
a further break is inevitable, The trouble
is that nobody s, ems to want to carry cotton
IN the face OF present probabilities or posi-
billties Of the coming crop; on the other hand
the price is now so low that very few care to
Ia e the risk of selling short, and so the mar
ket stays; not tecause OF any aggressive
pressure, but by reason Of the dead weight of
too many bales present, and prospective
