Cotton.

The local market has remained unchanged
for the past week and for the greater part it
was dull, but during the past few days has
steadled up somewhat, and the sales have
been increased a little. The entire sales OF
the week were ,S74 bales.
There is still vast differences in the esti-
mates OF would-be authorities as to the
amount Of the present crop Bulls and bears
have used every available effort 10 influence
the market TO gain personal ends. The bears
nave undoubtedly had the sway. and notwith-
standing the light movement of the past week
at the ports and interior towns, the prices
have remained unchanged, though somewhat
steadier during the closing days of the week
connecting reports have been sent out regard,
Ing the amount of cotton in the country.
The MORNING NEWS has attempted to as
certain the amount Of cotton now remaining
at stations and at plantations through this
section, and has sent out about 400 inquiries
throughout Georgia and Florida, Answers
are coming in, and the result of the inquiries
Will re published In day or two From the
estimates already received, 1t is shown that
there is very little cotton remaining in the
country. On the other hand. a correspondent
VINO has travelled on several OF the railroads
IN this section lately, writes: There remains
great deal OF cotton on the farms. Many OF
Ine farmers have nearly all they
maze mae last year, They are out OF
Inc farmers are in better circumstances
than they have been since the war They are
certainty on top out of debt, with plenty
OF meat and bread. There is a large amount
Of sea island cotton along the Savannah
Florida and Western and Brunswick and
western on the farms, and many bales of D.
rama along the Central and in Southwest
'orgla' warehouse man here received %
oties to-day by wagon, and it is coming in
every day
The key note to the situation in all proba-
putty, will be sounded in Liverpool. A re-
NlVal IN the trade demand from Manchester
would probably result in an advance in the
price OF cotton Continued apathy on the part
OF consumers will, on the other hand, unless
onset by an exceptionally light movement
PROBABLY result in a dropping speculation and
sHghty lower prices in America Meantime
lAe volume of the export movement continues
surprisingly large, and thus far the entire ex-
