say of cotton to-day. "a further slump
mere to-day, but there was good buying
al the decline, and the weakness did not
IdaL long. May opened at tb3cs raliled
to 1850, broke to 1850 and closed at 1920
L6Sc, with the tone steady. There was
manifest indispOsition to sell the pres
ent crop months, in view of the perfect
ease with which they may be cornered.
There is very little cotton available for
delivery here, and to bring 1t here, under
present circumstances, would involve a
loss of at least half a cent a pound. Such
condition of things has never existed
IN this market. There is no wonder that
the bears are weary about selling. Trade
Is bad enough, and at the moment there
seems no announcement to buy cotton,
but 1t would be folly to shut our eyes
to the fact that the situation here in
New York is such that any favorable
development might cause a jump in all
the months this side of September, COM
pared with which the recent advance
would be trifiing affair; and yet many
think the near months the best sale,
simply because nine out of ten traders
are afraid to sell them"
