this crop and to on the next, with sales of 21l 200 bales.
 Today's features: The receipts at the ports were large and so were those at the interior towns. AS for the cables they were disappointing. For these reasons prices after showing some steadiness early in the day took a downward course. Large sales of mules and fertilizers are reported, and everybody looks for big acreage. British consols showed a sharp decline, partly because of the French constitutional crisis and a fear of possible complications between this country and Spain growing out of the Cuban resolution. Commercial paper is still dull. and the discount rate continues high. New blood, moreover. is needed in specula ton; 1t is too much of purely professional affair and the profess sional element as a rule is rather bearish at the moment in its convictions Cotton goods have declined ? per cent during the past week and per cent since January l.. More people seem to believe the crop is 100000 lyafew seem to think that it is as small as 6,500000 bales. The worst feature of the cotton speculation just now is it's sluggish ness. New life and snap is needed; new blood, fresh outside interest, is believed to be imperatively essential to any sustained or material advance. Weld & Go. bought again this afternoon however, and cotton was by means without friends. Liver pool sold 12,0O0 bales on the spot. making very firm and the feeling there is distinctly better, owing to the rise in East Indian ex-. change. Then the receipts at Charleston, Mobile and Houston were small. It was zero weather at Atlanta. Ga. If the cold weather is general throughout the south it will interfere with farm work for the time being, though this may not have any very important bearing on the general situation Dry good, however, were in rather better demand in New York today, and prices are somewhat stronger than latterly. The esti- mated receipts at New Orleans and Hous- ton tomorrow are small. The exports from the ports were very large, exceeding the receipts by about 5000 bales. New Orleans reported good spot demand and spot quo tations were higher at Mobile and Charles ton. St1ll there was more disposition to sell than to buy. Many who bought yester- day sold out today, fearing possible ad- verse deYelopments over the holiday.

s62 ,0C0 worth of bonds. The banks then held $33, 766, ,225 above their legal require ments and money was loaning on call at between 1 and per cent. The reserves then began to sink and for the correspondlng week one year ago stood at practically the same figure as reported Friday. Despite the fact that the shrinkage in the reserve con- tinued until April l., when it stood at only SIS, ,0e0. 900, call money never averaged more quoted last week, when the surplus reserve stood nearly $15,O000 900 higher. The imports of gold for the present loan have been almost as heavy as were required to settle the syndicates transaction last spring, and the chances that additional gold is yet to be imported. The present bond loan is not all paid for yet, it is true, but the remaining time extends over months and the inference Is that a Stringency now is improbable If the shrinkage caused by the last loan and it's effect on the market are any criterion. The statement for the current week is in- definite. The expansion of $6,O52,70O in loans must be credited partly to mercantile sources since commercial paper is hnding an easier market. Boston banks have been borrowing from New York to some extent owing to local stringency at that point. but the bond issue accounts for the larger proportion of the increase.
 The decrease in specie Is logical, even if the amount seems a little out of the o,y way; ac The banks lost in cash holdings S9.016,900 and their deposits shrunk $33O0, 3O0 It is difficult to determine just how the bank holdings were affected by the interior ,rrcv move, has been going west, owing to sudden de- mand there, exchange at Chicago falling below par The decrease in circulation noted during the past few weeks is being made up by large increases now.
