say of cotton: 1.-The speculation in cot
ton for the week has been mainly of a
hquidating character, resulting in low
er range of values, yesterdays and to-
days prices being the lowest yet record
eQ since the decline began IN OCTOBER
last Liverpool to-day cabled a slight re-
eovery, but in the absence of any specu-
lative demand our market can hardly be
said to have responded to the advance
May opened at 1850, rallied to 7.5Sc, de-
clined to 7.55c and closed at 1851. Soc
with the tone quiet. At times during the
day the market showed great steadiness
the unanimity of local sentiment in an
ticipating a further decline no longer ex-
lists; about half of the room traders ex-
pecting and favoring a good rally al
least. The bulls are encouraged by the
sharp decrease in the visible supply as
compared with that existing at this date
IN the last three years. They show by
the figures of the Financial Chronicle that
the present crop cannot exceed 7100, 0JC
bales, even If the receipts from now un-
til Sept. ! should equal those of last year
an assumption which they treat as rdicu-
lous. They point to the undeniable fact
that the short interest is now very large
If not unweildly, including heavy sales
of the fall months for southern account
and claim that after so serious and con-
unuous decline with a market heavily
oyersold a considerable reaction Is
lar more probable than any further fall in
values. The bears retort that the dry
goods trade, upon which the demand for
cotton depends, is distressingly duh, that
me mills everywhere are accumulatine
goods which they can't SELL even at prices
