Following is the daily cotton letter Of
Atwood, Violet & Co, of New York, by
private wire 10 G. w. Branch & Co.:
The better tone at the close last night
disappeared this morning under the in
fiuence Of an unfavorable Liverpool spot
sales. being only 1000 bales and futures
closing 1-6i lower than last night. our
decline at one time was six points, but
from this there was a recovery. Port
receipts for the week were 1913 bales,
against 400 bales last year. Interior re-
ceipts, S,g)2 bales against 7,204 bales last
year. Interior stocks. l72.00) bales, agains.
ri 900 bales last year. Liverpool stock OF
American on hand and anOat l,56fO00
bales. against l.li500 bales last year.
an excess Of 1lS00 bales; while exports
to Great Britain are 726.O0 bales larger.
The difference OF 6jsO00 bales has been
taken by local spinners and for export
and largely confirms what Mr.. Ellison
has said about the present rate of con-
sumption in that country. Whether trade
conditions will justify continuance Of
this consumption we shall know more
about when Mr. Ellison issues his April
figures, which will be about May 10th.
His estimate Of consumption for Great
Britain for March was $1,000 bales weekly
Of all kinds and 81 900 bales for the CONT
nent an increase of 1900 bales for the
latter over his estimate OF February con-
sumption. There does not seem TO have
been that Improvement In the spinning
llQlSlIl OF the thrLNtu lilio NlllEU Hil
been expected The situation emphasizes
all We have been saying as to the in
nuence OF the supply present and pros
pectve on the future course Of prices. In
other words In the present depression Of
general trade the cotton world finds IL
self provided with sufficient supply 20
liquidate all reasonable wants well into
the next season, ana therefore spinners
are buying from hand 10 mouth every
where In order. therefore. TO make them
anticipate future needs. It will require
some very substantial evidence that the
world is not 10 be deluged with a big
crop the coming year, and there is but
one way that they can be made aware
as to 70 probable realization OF a large or
moderately small crop the coming sea-
SON. and that way We have commented
upon and brought 10 the attention OF our
readers frequently during the past few
weeks. For ourselves We do not think
the South is in financial condition u
permit of their cultiyaung big crop,
but as a majority Of the people in this |
country and abroad think so IL Is daily |
bringing about a further depression in |
prices The market needs stirulant, |
and what that tonic Is 10 be. In our |
opinion. can only come about through an |
unfavorable planting season and knoWl- |
edge that the area VIII not be increased. |
The amount brought into sight this week |
is $500 bales, against 1900 bales last |
year.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 20.-What will

velopments. Partrldge's selling. which

principal feature OF the business. Wheat

Corn-The range Of values In this mar
ket was narrow, but the feeling was
very firm. May corn opened unchanged
from yesterday at 39c., ranged between
39ilc. and Soc, closing at 39G391sc.
Oats continued TO hold steadfastly to
the strength which has governed the
trade for many days past. To the shorts
the strength seems inexplicabe, but they
are ON the alert TO cover upon any symp-

oats were easier, with prices nc. lower.
