New York. Nov. 14.-The cables from
LIVERPOOL were better than expected and
prices here at the outset of business to-
day showed an advance of to points
on most positions. Later, however, con-
siderable weakness was developed by
local liquidation in the absence or out
side support. The Chronicles report in
Dictated that there was little or no further
chance of securing the top crop. The
movement at the ports, however, was
large with little or no speculative de-
mand, thus throwing the weight of the
movement on spinners. The market de-

closed steady with q net loss of 102

pool continues to be a large seller in our
market. We estimate her sales to-day
at fully 10000 bales and we are told
that these sales are based upon our in
creased movement during the coming
week at the interior towns and ports, as
result OF the business recently put through
for export. The policy OF Liverpool APP
pears to be to buy cotton throughout the
GOUln. put IL On SIlpbSdAQ anu SNAA
against it in New York. BY some process
of reasoning they believe this gives them
the cotton, bur it would appear as though
they stood as they did before they bought
in the South, viz: They still have to buy
in America. Our local traders have been
free sellers to-day, many Of them taking
the bear side, after decline Of $500 per
bale on the idea that the increase in the
movement so freely predicted will bring
further decline. There is nothing in
the movement to show crop in excess of
100000 bales and we see no reason
for the trade to expect a larger crop. The
avalanche Of selling for European ac-
counts has been the sole reason for the
recent decline and we have vet to feel
the effect of the revival in trade upon the
market. An improvement in prices, due
to speculation, is sudden, movement
based on trade conditions requires more
time for development, but is more lasting
The local temper after such a decline is
naturally bearish.
