ton review says
cotton advanced 20 points. but lost
the Improvement and declined. closing

sales OF 40. 100 bales.
T0-days features. slight early adj
vance was succeeded by a decline liver
pool opened stronger, the stock markets
were higher. cons0ls advanced. the p0-
ntical situation was more peaceiN ana
shorts covered 10 some extent. But me
crop movement was larger than had Deen
expected. and THIS caused selling Tor both
sides OF the account and led moderate
decline.
There was the same old drawback, too.
OF AN absence OF speculation. FOR the
most part ~ was a mere bOarn-room mar
ket The receipts at The ports certainly
exceeded the expectations, however lhey
were estimted early in the day at Zz,VDV
and they were nearly 44p more lhah
this. Then, Memphis, Augusta ana ~.
Louis received more cotton than they ola
on the same day last year IN the season
OF phenomenal crop. The American
stock al Liverpool in store and anoat
is only 1,Ol1,O0o, against l5S0.ooO year
ago.
Dry goods are more active and prices
are stronger. There was less croaking
fiom New England. a Fall River dis
patch even went so far as to say that
print cloths were steady.
The farmers Of the South were never
In "a more Independent position than now
never better able 10 hold cotton Dach
IN they see fit TO do so. The factors VINO
refused 10 lend them money last season
really did them q favor IN the mean
time prices are about on me leNtl OF
those OF 1884, when the crop was EyVVy''
lereas Neil Br0thers adhere 10 me
opinion that the present yield Is not over

NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Journal OI
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, IN
its weekly review a. the dry goods trace
says: ..,,,
Although there has been no material
te.opment IN the volume OF business
passing during the week under review
there are some indications at the close
OF an encouraging character.
The oppressive outside influences when
have been weighing upon the market
show signs OF amehOratiOn IN the IN
ravelling Of political difficulties and IN
the more hopeful feeling regarding the
immediate financial outlook.
As these more than genuine market
conditions have recently governed me
markets course, The change can win
pfOpricty be looked upon as pointing IN
the direction Of Improvement, althouEh
up 10 the time OF writing evidences IN sup
port thereof are by no means wei deihed'
