and New York followed suit. II did not
20 up much, however. for the speculation
Easter holidays check speculation at the
present time. But there were other fac
tors aside from Liverpool. which helped
to put up prices. The spot markets IN
this country were more active. the exports
are larger than recently; there was no
pressure TO sell here to-day. and the re-
ceipts at some interior points were very
light, while those at the ports are GER
tainly not excessive. The spot sales in
Liverpool just preceding Faster holidays
have Invariably shown large increase.
and history may repeat itself this
year. The estimated receipts at New
Orleans tomorrow are large, but on the
last day OF each month they always show
some augmentation. Mobile received l,3J2
bales. against ga bales las: week. and
80 bales last year. But at other interior
points the receipts were considerably
smaller than on the same day last year.
For instance, Savannah received only 5o
bales, against 1850 bales last week, and
Lon bales last year; Charleston but 2Z9
bales. against $50 bales last week, and
1886 bales last year. and ST. Louis, 80
bales. against 632 bales last year. The
Interior shipments were not small. ana
the exports from the ports were OF fair
proportions.
