ually gave way, and there was pressure
to sell in the last few minutes. The close
was easy, with 1880 bid for May. New
Orleans estimates the receipts there for
the coming week at 5000 bales, and at all
ports at 100000 bales, which would be a
much heavier movement than in the sea-
son of '93, with which comparisons are
being made. Unless Liverpool interposes
a further check to the decline prices win
New York, Feb. Hubbard Bros. &
Co. s review of cotton: can increasing con-
viction that THE acreage for the new crop
will be far in excess of that planted for
the present one, has left the trade at the
end of the week with but little zest for an
anticipation of higher prices.
Private adviceS from Liverpool report
that larger Indian crop estimates are in
vogue and it is currently believed that
spinners are holders of raw material to a
greater extent than heretofore counted
UPON. AS a consequence lower markets
are looked for abroad. Concurrently New
Orleans advises an entire lack of specu-
reports and rumorS which ordinarily
might act as a stimulus to prices, adding
that spot holders there and in the vicinity
have less confidence, and that with a con-
tinuation of liberal receipts the natural
effect may be looked for. To the recent
rainfall is attributed the moderate interior
movement. In fact the singular unanimf-
ty of opinion regarding the probable con-
tinuance of depressing influences is in it.
self perhaps the most, if not the only eff
fectiVe argument for distrust that the very
general belief of the trade will be realiz-
ed, or that if it is realized it must be when
the prospects of the growing crop are more
clearly defined than they are now
at must be said that apart from the sur
misses of speculation, reports from the
south indicate that the planter is seeking

& cent cotton gives to him. Figures of in
tended acreage are VIGOROUSLY untrust-
worthy but kilograms from Texas men
ton % per cent. as the probable increase
there: and from this to smaller estimates.
The reports from the other parts of the
cotton growing belt bear witness that high
nriees or even well paying prices are too
great an inducement for the farmer to
SSifhstand. Further sales of fertilizers and
mules are enormous and the condition of
the COTTON community is reported better
