say of cotton to-day: THE market was
active and lively to-day. The Liverpool
cables were disappointing, and the mar
ket opened lower, May selling on the call
at 7.54d7. Sc, but there was a manifest in
prices moved upward with little opposi-
ton, until May touched 7.65c. The rise
was checked by figures showing that the
movement for the week would be un-
expectedly large, footing up about 100 900
bales or nearly double the movement for
the corresp onding weeks in 1894 and 1893.
O'Clock the bulls made another rally
against forcing May to 7.65c, but the adj
vance did not hold, and the close was
easy, with 7.60c bid for May. We think
that the short interest is entirely too
sktish to wait for any material advance,
and, as there can be no such advance
siderable short interest; we have about
lost all faith in any advance at all. We
think well of sales of any and all Of the
months upon every rally.
New York, March N.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co.'S weekly cotton letter: "A description
1 of the movement of the market last week
might be stated in the terms "a stampede
| of the short interest" which, becoming
alarmed at the strong statistical position,
rushed to cover their engagements at con-
stantly advancing prices until the market
| reached such a point that the holders
were willing to supply this demand with
a large amount of their accumulated
| stock.
sTTnder ordinary circumstances an adj
vance of half a cent pound would have
brought a demand from American spin
i ners who hold smaller supplies of the
raw material than for many years, but the
absence of any demand for their product,
/ even at prices as low as when cotton
| touched its lowest point last season, de-
prived the market of that support. With
/ the large short interest eliminated from
| the markets the future course of prices
| viii he governed more by outside condi-
tons than they have been for the past
, / month.
s"The poor condition Of trade In almost
every branch of business is the result
/ of the oter-production brought about TO
supply the active demand OF last summer
