New York, May 21;--Riordan & co. say
the Cotton Exchange, marking, as many
believe, the beginning OF the end of the
squeeze in the summer months. In the
early trading, the market was hrm, es-
pecally for the later months, October
selling up to 1850 and December to 1890.
The summer months, however, did not
share in the advance, the supply of Au-
gust pressing for sale being seemingly in
exnaust table. The reports of ample rains
in the Carolnas, where they were badly
needed. gave the first downward impulse
to the market and this was followed by
general break of the whole list, Au-
gust-leading the way. August opened at
S14c, declined to 1880, and closed at SC
bid, with the tone fairly steady. Mr.. In
man attributed the break to reported
movement in Liverpool TO ship 10000 bales
Of high grade and unstable cotton to
New York for delivery on contract, he
said the Liverpool crowd were loaded with
cotton, which they wanted to get rid Of
and if this report We're true, our market
would probably so lower. The impress
sion among the traders here is that under
cover of his bulling of the fall and winter
months Mr.. Inman. during the past week.
mas unloaded his holdings of August and
IS now quite resigned 10 see prices go
down. To-moTrow's market will probably
show how far this impression is correct"
