New York, April 90 The Sun s cotton report
To-Day says; 1t was still depression abroad
ana big crop movement at home that pro-
duced the decline here to day. The arrivals
both az the ports and the interior towns were
heavy. Tired bulls sold. II is said that some
New England mills viii soon begin to run on
country and a road are light. There is very
little speculation. The cotton goods situa-
lloa is not so favorable as recently"
New York, April 20 Riordan q Co say OF
cotton today; The market was again dull
and depressed to day, May deliveries having
reached the lowest point of the season. May
opened at 1850 and declined to 133c There
were some triting fluctuations with n range
OF points, but the close was quiet at about
the lowest OF the day Liverpool gives us no
support the port receipts keep well ahead Of
tnose OF last season and the news from the
new ENG land cotton mills today is particu-
larry diScouraging. The big Amoskeag mills
have shut down Indefinitely for lack OF orders
ana the trade advices from Boston are also
gloomy, Some traders believe that when
things look the worst is the best time TO count
on an Improvement IL is hard to say on what
other principle the bulls can be expecting an
advance Just now; prices are so low that few
care SELL ana any favorable development
might cause sharp rally, but all the in
nuences seem to point in the direction OF
further decline"
New York, April 20-Clapp & CO., saw OF
cotton Receipts OF cotton continue larger
than expected, particularly at interior points
oelng 33,Sl9 bales, against 2l,S6S same week
last year; Our book. on pages 25I to POL
gives daily receipts Of cotton at all ports, and
Augusta, Memphis st. Louis and Houston
for 1898, The cotton goods market is dull
evidently any material advance must come
from crop reports or fear OF a poor crop as
there is growing feeling there is old cotton
enough to supply spinners to Sept T. Some
planters IN Louisiana are choppfng out their
cotton, other sections report radical change
in the weather for the better ana increased
acreage PROBABLE. There appears TO be a
liberal movement TO towns and ports. and
slack demand at speculative centres and a
growing feeling that the American acreage
will not be less than last season: that Wash
lngton legislation is against speculation or
higher values. The bears proclaim with
much confidence that there is too much
cotton in sight and too little actual demand
to care for nearly $4,000 bales in Liverpool
and about 100000 bales more in
the worlds visible supply than a year ago
even II United states ports have per cent
less supply. The amount afoat is per cent
larger. The crop movement to date has been
$500, 900. After this date last year to Sept l.
1898, IL was equal TO about 604 900 bales, indi-
eating the yield this season will exceed 500 600
bales. May cotton, April IS, 1893, sold at 751c;
now it is 743. Liverpool was about l4-64d
against present quotation Of about Id or
relatively 81 points higher. The American
visible IS about 1874 900 bales less than year
ago. Liverpool stocks and amounts aloat are
about 10000 bales more than year ago and
5000 more than April Is, 1892. Northern
mill taktngs this season are about PCS 600
bales less. The visible supply figures are
disappointing to bulls. Northern spinners
took 99O5 against 29.59l last week. and % Cos
last year The future OF the market seems
to depend on planting and weather reports
which Just now are favorable"
