e Co.'S cotton letter: Notwithstanding
the decline of points In the Liverpool
market prices here with marked
fluctuations have shown much steadl-
ness. due in great measures TO tho feel
ing that weather conditions as yet
hardly Justify an aggressive selling in
favor OF lower prices.
on buying orders the opening was
from 4 to G points above the close OF
yesterday but after the call heavy
realizing sales depressed the market
somewhat. This disposition to realize
was checked during the afternoon by
unfavorable weather reports from
various points including some in Texas.
The buying, however. was desultory
and lacked vlgor. 1t is feared that the
Chronicle tomorrow viii make a poor
showing and this fear has caused the
absorption OF such cotton as was
offered for sale. The close was at last
nights figures.
