weekly cotton review says THE week
lust ended has been a lively and exciting one
in Gotten. May deliveries drot ped to 7.33 on
Monday last and have since recove ed 40
points, having sold at 7.73 yesterday morning
but closing at 761 to day. Liverpool held her
own instead OF declining, as had been gener-
ally eKpe ted and our opening was at an ad
65. But most OF the traders while not
darinE to sell short, seemed lndiffer
ent ABOUT buying and the mar ct grad
ually sagged rather from inattention
than owing to the pressure LOSING all the
improvement and two or three points more
The close was quiet and steady with 58c id
Tor ay. Inc antlcl JatlOn mat the port re-
ceipts next week may be swollen ~ cotton
lately ought in the interior for export, was
the man reason for the weakness shown to-
day he amount Of cotton that came in
sis Mt during the week was about % 900 0ales
less than during the same week last year. If
the reduction in the volume Of fresh supplies
should continue at the same rate for a
few weeks, it would probably bring spinners
in Inc ma ket as more eager buyers
than they have been for a long time But the
unrest caused by the silver and tariff agitation
and the fear Of the Hatch bin becoming law,
the practical effect OF which would be TO com
pei the farmers either to keep their cotton or
TO sell it direct to the spinne Ave .ents a
pound, combine to rangle ever thing like
the speculative boom, which, under ordinary
circumstan es, wo Id be the quick aud sud
den result of existing conditions. Until the
cotton trade shall get reass ring things
from WASHINGTON, we can scarcely expect
any material and lasting advance, while on
the other hand, nobody need } c surprised il
the predictions OF those who elteVe that May
cotton will sell at 7 cents. should be verified.
