New York, Feb. l5.-Riordan Co. say of
cotton: We have had another dull day in
cotton The receipts were smaller than the
exceedingly light totalsof this day last year,
a
opening was no higher than yesterdays clos.
ing prices, May selling at $50, and upon re-
ports that NeilI has rea 1irmed his crop esti-
mate Of 100000 bales, the market became
weak, May declining to m, but during the
afternoon the trading while exceedingly
dull displayed the same stubborn strength
that we noticed yesterday. Prices raj
lied a little, and the close was steady
with sic bid for NAV. After the close bid
ders we're Offering SIC. The movement for
this week will be much smaller than was gen
orally anticipated, and the heavy export con
tinues, The exports so far this season are
now about 10000 bales more than for the
same period last season. he duIlness Of
trade in cotton goods and the absence OF the
speculation are the main OBSTACLES to an ad.
vance Traders are afraid OF the Hatch bill,
which, by its depressing effect is already
costing the southern holders Of cotton hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. Nobody seems
able to predict how the present state of
things is going TO end"
