A Short Cotton Crop.

~ SOiAShV' VA AN SASw =
association says that the cotton crop
Ethis year will be short, and that this
ia due to the decreased acreage, bad
weather. and backwardness OF the
crop. Hubbard Bros. ) 81 Go. a
prominent firm of, New York bro"
kers, ip a recent circular letter re-
earding to, the cotton market, eay:-
During the. week, the improve
ment in the market has been due to
the quiet dematd Of the American
spinners who appear willing to retain
a portion Of their surplus stocks, and
to buy sufficient cotton with which
to make the goods they are athletic
eel! at a profit, based on the present
prices fer cotton. Then again, the
surplus supplies appear, to be uneven
ly divided amongst, the mills, which
naturally, increases the demand. In
view of the absence of an 9export
demand. this summer, merchants are
surprised at the volume of their sales
upon what appears to be a. quiet
market. Meanwhile, the receipts
Of new cotton at the Texas interior
points are exceedingly small; while
the movement to. the ports, and the
demands Of the Southern spinners is
evidence of the, exhaustion Of stocks
usually held upon plantations, Or at
the uncounteb towns. It is appa-
rent, that the growing crop is a la
ter one than the two proceeding
crops; whether it is a smaller one
will be determined by the weather
conditions from now on, as so frank
~ stated by Mr.. Nell. There is,
at the moment, no pressure of cotton
,upon.the markets, as, only q small,
portion off the visible supply re held
by the cotton trade, and it is 'notice-
able that this visible supply, though
large, is over 100000 blades smaller
than in 1892 when the trade had to
contend with the remains Of two
large crops, and poor. trade 10
Euoope. Whether. the Invisible sup
ply was greater at that lime than it
is. now, 10 the uncertain factor in the
situation, but VIC can forsee that
whatever these combined suppl les
may be, they will be drawn upon
during the next six weeks for con-
sumption, by reason. Of the latnness
OF this crop.
1t. iss unanimously reported by
Southern exporters. that the forward
sales. OF. shipments to European mar
kets, are smaller than since. 1892,
and, the trade regard this feature Of
the situation as ""bearish", which it
will be if We should produce more
than average crop, as, in that event,
the buyers would have the sdvad>
tage. If, on the other hand, we
should be favored With a moderate,
yield, the absence of forward sales
would increase the demand to pro-,
vide substantial supplies ,.of cotton
ppou what would then, seem to be a,
reasonable basis, aRd is an open:
question whether the light receipts
may not cause many conservative
merchants and spinners to place at
least a little confidence in the re-.
ports Of a short yield 10. cotton.
Certainly at the present time, the
leading merchants and spinners are
timid, because of their. recollection
Of the enormous crop, and low prices
Of last season. They expect the
