New York, May 9.-Riordan q co. say
of cotton to-day: THE highest figures
of the advance in cotton were reached on
Tuesday last, when August touched S.l9c;
cline. To-day the continued good crop
accounts increased the depression and
closing prices were the lowest OF the
week. August opened al S.O8c and closed
at S.05c bid, with the tone easy. The
fan and winter months showed greater
Weakness than the near months. Mr..
Inman was absent to-day. The traders
are completely nystified as to his pres
ent intentions, some believing that he
favOrs the decline with a view OF en-
courasing short sales and that he means
to put the price of the summer months
higher than ever Others think that he
has quietly unloaded, and left the boom
To take care of itself. But even these
are still chary about selling the summer
months short. Meantime, the young cot
ton is growing finely and everybody seems
TO think that the chances are that the
fail months will go much lower. The
south should never lose sight of the fact
mat the recent sharp advance in prices
mere was not due to any rise in the value
OF the staple, but was merely a specula-
i've and local boom, based upon the ap-
prehension of those who have sold cot
ton short in this market, that the neceS-
sary number of bales might not be obtain
able here just as their contracts call for
rs delivery. This is the whole story.
lnere has never been in the recent his
Tory OF the trade any real scarcity OF
cotton, and with the present crop out
look, there does not seem to be the slight
est danger that there VIII be. The
cool way in which Liverpool and New
orleans have ignored New Yorks ma
Hipulated advance must have been sad
t'tO4ltNlLltli 70 SOlLIeUoQys anu the
south, which was counted to take fire
WiJh bull enthusiasm, paid little heed to
sHe rise, except to hurry forward its re-
served supplies of cotton in order to get
ne benefit of the higher prices"
New York, May 9.-The Sun says of cot
lon; Cotton declined to points, clos
ing easy, with sales of 1900 bales. To-
lay 5 features: Liquidating sales, in
t1uCed by discouraging Liverpool cables,
y' pressed prices here to-day. Liverpool
vas weaker for futures and the spot mar
Ael there was less active with prices
ggSsler, though without quotable change.
Ren too, everybody is expecting a bear
