New York, Feb. 2S.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: Liverpool showed further
to the lowest point yet touched in the
decline. May opened at 1920 and closed
a. 754c bid, with the tone quiet. At one
time to-day the market showed a dispo-
sition to rally, but the firmness was short
lived, a reaction of or points bringing
out heavy selling orders. If the market
should become oversold scare among the
shorts may at any time cause temporary
advance, but we can see nothing n the
outlook at present to encourage invest
New York. Feb. 2S.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co.'S weekly letter: Strange as it APP
pears to the trade it seems that the active
trade of last summer and fall has failed to
do more than distribute the surplus sup
ply of goods and our spinners and mer-
chants are complaining of their inability
to obtain remuneratiVe prices for the large
amount of manufactured goods they have
on hand. Cotton goods are reported to
have been sold on basis of value more
nearly approaching the quotations of the
raw material last spring than the price at
which the spinners can now secure that
cotton. Naturally, such a condition of the
goods market restricts the demand from
American snnners for cotton and we are
beginning to receive similar accounts from
the continental markets which depend
largely for their trade upon the demand
from America.
"In Manchester an increased demand is
reported from India and the east though
the last accounts are conflicting and the
board of trade returns do not confirm the
private advices. Under the influence of
this known condition of the trade, and the
expectation of large tenders upon March
contracts, the greater portion Of the re-
action has been lost, though at the de-
cline the trade is quite prepared for an
other Improvement in prices similar to
those which this season have always oc-
CURED after tender day.
1.-The movement of the crop continues
upon a larger scale than the small esti-
mates early in the season led the trade to
expect. and it is now apparent that the
movement viii show 6,000,O00 bales in sight
on the first of March and the simple addi-
ton of the southern consumption from
that date brings the crop close TO 900
bales without another bale being received
az the ports. II is this feature which is
creating a belief in a larger crop than l.
100000 bales; therefore, the question for
