of cotton: The fluctuations in cotton dur
ing the week just ended has been trihing
and without significance, May closing to-
day just 3 points lower than a week ago.
Liverpool was unchanged this morning
and our opening was a trife lower, Nav
selling on the call at S.04c. The trading
was dull and mainly confined to local
operators. May declined to S.02c and af-
terward rallied TO S.05c. The close was
quiet and steady, with final transactions
in May at S04c. The overshadowing in
Huence upon the market continues to be
the fear of a large oVer-prOductiOn dur
ing the coming season. This fear we find
is general throughout the cotton belt and
is strongest among those who are in a
position to be well informed as to the
extent and meaning of the planting prepa-
rations now going on. The south is a
chronic bull, and her spectators are sell
dom willing to sell cotton short. Usually
they buy, or else they remain out of the
market altogether; but the expectation
or too much cotton next fan is so strong
are coming in daily from every part of
the south to sell the fall months at pres
ent prices, and we hear that these short
sales would be enormously larger if the
farmers could command the cash marg-
ms necessary to make the venture But.
Nhlie there seems to be q substantial una
hlmlty OF opinion that prices for October
and November cotton will ultimately be
much lower, the case is different with
the spring and summer deliveries MANY
stlil cling to the opinion that as to these
there viii be a higher market. basing their
views upon the present low quotations as
compared with spot prices in the leading
markets. and upon the hope Of lighter
receipts But we ourselves have little
Ialth now in any material advance and
would rather sell upon every good rally
